today we have a crazy story of revenge against an evil best friend we'll get
into that in a bit but first I tattled like a snake because sometimes blood
isn't so thick when people say blood is thicker than water I can bet that
they've never met a family like mine my family was picture perfect and I mean
that in every way the phrase has been used in time past but what was beneath
the covering of that perfect look was way more disturbing than anybody could
imagine in truth I should not be telling this story to anyone but what else have
I got to lose anyway I've lost my job family and the one person that truly
cared about me and to be fair I am on the brink of losing my sanity but that's
fine I'm not going down alone at least I'll have my family with me we would all
go down that rabbit hole that stinks of betrayal and deceit I never imagined
that beneath the Serene facade of our Suburban home lay a Web of Lies and
deception that would shatter my world my name is Michael and this is the a story
of how I stumbled upon a long buried secret that exposed my mother Janice for
the betrayers she truly was it All Began
innocently enough with a harmless search in the attic for some old family
memorabilia amidst all the dusty boxes and forgotten belongings I came across
this weathered envelope that piqued my curiosity I knew I'd never come across
this envelope before and if I remembered correctly I'd helped ma pack the
contents of this particular box so conventionally I should not see anything
strange Inside the Box however inside it I found something more unfamiliar a
collection of yellowed letters photographs and a side of my mother that
I'd never come across before the first letter was dated years ago addressed to
Janus and signed by a name I did not recognize the words on the page hint at
a clandestine relationship and the consequences of their actions as I read
on the truth slowly unfolded before my eyes like a dark and twisted tale J
Janice Anderson who I refuse to believe is the same woman that raised me nothing
shy of 19 years a woman whose facade of Charisma masked a Labyrinth of Deceit
and betrayal was a prominent figure in the Suburban town we called home to the
outside world she was an accomplished Finance professional a loving mother and
a pillar of the community however beneath the surface of her seemingly
perfect life lay a complex and shadowy past and I will learn the truth first
from the letters as I recount this story
I wondered what her Ploy was and why she never thought to destroy any evidence
that could lead to the discovery of the life she once lived was she expecting me
to find the truth someday or did she just believe that I would never be smart
enough to figure it all out but she was wrong very Janice's ambition was evident
from a young age she was determined to rise above her modest beginnings and
make her Mark in the world as she entered adulthood her drive led her to
pursue a career in finance where she showcased except optional skills in
handling numbers and making calculated decisions during her Ascent in the
financial World Janice encountered influential individuals who would play
pivotal roles in her transformation she was welcomed into a circle of power and
privilege rubbing shoulders with the town's Elite these connections opened
doors for her propelling her career to new heights in the early stages of her
success Janus made her Mark by leveraging her Charisma and charm to
forge alliances she was a master at reading people she still is to a large
extent sensing their vulnerabilities and
using them to her Advantage many admired her business Acumen but just a few saw
the ruthless tactic she employed to climb the corporate ladder it was this
ambition that led Janus to uncover a secret that could have potentially
destroyed the reputation of one of the town's most influential figures the
truth gave her leverage over powerful individuals which she shamelessly
wielded for her own gain if you know who paraded herself to be my mother now you
would predict her next line of action was to expose the evil right well this
is because like me we did not both know the real Janus instead of exposing the
truth Janice made a fateful decision that would forever alter the lives of
those involved she chose to use the knowledge to secure favors cement
alliances and Advance her career and if I read through those letters correctly
this was at a point where she began treating the truth for power and she set
herself on a path that would lead to the eventual unraveling of her carefully
constructed life of Lies as she became entangled in a web of Deceit she found
herself making deals with unsavory characters whose motives were far from
honorable she underestimated the consequences of her actions believing
that she could maintain control of the situation but the web of deception she
spun would soon ensnare her as well I like to believe that she was never this
bad I like to believe that all I read was a lie but it wasn't the woman I knew
was false a figment of my imagination and as I sat in the dim light that day
processing all I had read I began to recount events that might have shown the
lapses in her acts one of those nights in her Greed for a seat at the table
fueled by her thirst for control and power Janice made a critical mistake
that reverberated through the lives of many she betrayed the trust of close
friends implicating them in a fraudulent scheme that was designed to protect her
own interests innocent lives were upturned relationships shattered and the
Tranquility of the Suburban town was forever shattered in the aftermath of
her actions janus's World began to crumble the consequences of her deceit
weighed heavily on her conscience and she struggled to maintain the facade
that she had so carefully crafted people began to question her integrity and the
once admired figure found herself ostracized and isolated as the truth
slowly merged families affected by Janice's actions sought Justice and
closure the pain she caused was immeasurable and forgiveness seemed like
an insurmountable task for those she had wronged she had shattered their trust
and she felt it could never be fully repaired my mind struggled to comprehend
the incongruity between the loving mother I had known and this woman who
had caused such Devastation the memories of laughter and warmth we shared now
clashed with the revelations of her past actions I couldn't help but wonder if
the affection she had shown me had been a facade all along during my quest for
truth I reached out to Old family friends and acquaintances seeking to
understand the events that had unfolded in the past each conversation peeled
back another layer of deception revealing a side of Janus I had never
fathomed the people who had once admired and respected her now spoke of her with
a mix of pity and disdain I tried to make sure she would not see me coming
from the Shadows I wasn't sure what she would do to keep her past a secret if
she found out I'd been poking around but that was not all there was one last
piece of paper one letter that seemed different from the rest in the pile that
I found I couldn't understand what I read but I knew I had to find out in the
dark room where I sat with the letter I clutched the letter tightly in my hand
my heart pounding in anticipation and dread the words etched on the paper had
sent shivers down my spine revealing a dark secret that challenged everything I
thought I knew about my mother so I decided to follow the address on the
letter hoping to find answers that had remained hidden for far too long but now
I wish I didn't at least I wouldn't hurt so much the letter was addressed to a
prison and from Googling the location I realized that it would take me 12 hours
on the road to get there but if that was the price I had to pay to understand
everything I was willing to do so as I approached the prison a mix of fear and
curiosity City gripped me I could not have anticipated what awaited me within
those Cold Steel walls my mind raced with questions as I stepped into the
visitation area searching for a man who had written the blackmail letter finally
my eyes met the Gaze of a weathered man seated across the table his eyes held a
glimmer of cunning knowledge the weight of his own sins evident on his face his
face looked awfully familiar like I knew him or I'd seen him before yet I
struggled to narrow down where I'd seen him the first words that would proceed
from his mouth were that I looked just like my grandfather when he was in his
twenties now this got my attention immediately because as far as I know
I've never met my grandfather so why would a stranger in prison miles from
where I've been all my life know I looked like my grandfather I introduced
myself and he nodded knowingly as though he was acknowledging that he knew what
had let me come to him the man's name was Robert and as he spoke the pieces of
the puzzle began to fall into place he revealed that my mother was in fact The
Mastermind behind how he landed in prison with a 20-year sentence from the
judge he had once been one of her closest confidants but his knowledge of
her nefarious actions made him a threat that's when she decided to take drastic
measures in a voice tinged with bitterness Robert recounted the tragic
accident that had cleaned the life of my
True Mother Janice's best friend and his
wife it had been a fateful night and the events that unfolded were far from
accidental my mother's web of Deceit had spun out of control the paper trail for
embezzlement was being linked back to her department but she was smart enough
to divert the attention to him since they worked in the same Corporation then
Robert claims he has no proof of how his wife died but he swore that it was the
people who thought he had wronged them that decided to take it out on him
through his wife it meant one thing it was my mother's fault tears welled up in
my eyes as I learned the truth about my identity I was in Janice's biological
child I was the child of the close pal she had betrayed the weight of this
Revelation threatened to crush me and I struggled to come to terms with the lies
that had been woven around me my entire life as I listened to Robert's account I
saw the complexity of human nature unravel before me my mother driven by
ambition and the desire to protect her carefully curated life had sacrificed
the well-being of others her thirst for power and control had led her down a
path of Deceit and betrayal but there was one thing I could not understand why
did Robert not fight against it why did he leave her for so long what was the
point of the blackmail letter he sent to her seven years ago I left the prison
that day with my mind a whirlwind of emotions I felt anger towards my mother
for the web of life eyes she had spun around me I felt grief for the mother
I'd lost in confusion about my place in this Tangled narrative I thought I would
get the whole truth but I didn't not from Robert at least I knew that I had
to confront her it was only her that could set me free from the chains of
deception that had kept me bound to her for years and this was exactly what I
did as I stood before my mother clutching the pile of incriminating
letters my heart was Heavy with both determination and sorrow I had hoped
that confronting her with the truth would illicit remorse or even a glimmer
of acknowledgment but instead she chose to fame ignorance the weight of her
deception crushed me and I knew that Justice demanded action in the days that
followed I made the difficult decision to leave home and report my mother's
crimes to the authorities armed with the evidence I'd uncovered I approached the
police to report the stolen identity and the tangled web of Deceit that it
ensnared us for far too long the officers initially skeptical of my story
eventually decided to delve deeper into the matter and as the truth began to
surface the police uncovered the full extent of my mother's actions the
evidence was irrefutable and the wheels of Justice were set in Emotion the woman
who had once been a prominent figure in the community was now exposed for the
ruthless deceiver she truly was it felt like a form of Revenge but deep down I
knew that Justice needed to be served the pain she had caused the lives she
had shattered demanded accountability however Justice came at a steep cost one
that I could never have foreseen my baby sister just 14 years old was caught in
the crossfire of our mother's Web of Lies with my mother's arrest my sister
was thrust into the system a victim of circumstances she could not comprehend
it broke my heart to see her suffer and I desperately wanted to Shield her from
the pain I tried to explain the situation to my sister to make her
understand that the actions I'd taken were necessary for justice to Prevail
but how could I expect her to grasp the complexities of her mother's deception
at such a tender age to her I was tearing our family apart and the
resentment she felt towards me was palpable I longed to tell her the whole
truth to reveal the depths of our mother's betrayal but I knew that she
wasn't ready to bear that burden in pursuing Justice for the victims of my
mother's deception I had unwittingly become the Catalyst for our family's
unraveling as I navigated through the aftermath I found solace in knowing that
Justice had been served and that the victims of my mother's deceit had found
some measure of relief but I still wonder what my father would say if he
could see me now would he have known about her Secrets or had he been
blissfully unaware just like the rest of
us would he understand the choices I had made the sacrifices I had endured or
would he be disappointed that the family he had loved had been torn apart by the
very person he trusted most you would like to think that they would understand
what Opie did and understand that in op situation having that feeling and that
conviction to serve Justice here and make things right is too important than
trying to cover it all up just for the sake of keeping your family together I
mean an OP situation if it bothers you that badly how are you going to even go
back to just having a family like that you can't just learn some crazy dark
truths about your own mom and then just pretend it didn't happen that was a
funny piece of fiction I read there it's so crazy to stumble upon mom's creative
writing days our next story is how I got my revenge on my evil best friend they
say you've gone mad when you start to think about ending someone so I knew I'd
lost all my sanity when I realized how badly I wanted to end Alicia for what
she'd done to me Alicia and I had been besties since kindergarten she had a
bubbly personality even then I can clearly remember the day she bounced
over to my table in the lunchroom her golden curls jumping all over her head
she'd sat across me and stared me dead in the eyes hi I'm Alicia she said with
that serious look on her face we're both in Miss Julie's class you may have seen
me I sit in the front row beside Rob the boy who's always farting I've seen you
you sit beside Anna and you're always doodling in your notebook let's be
friends I smiled at her do you always talk like that like what she'd asked
clearly puzzled without taking a breath or bothering the pause she smiled
proudly I have an impressive pair of lungs I've been told now answer my
initial question I shook my head laughing okay Alicia sure I'd like to be
your friend we walked back to class together that day and since then we
became Inseparable at least we were inseparable my childhood was spent
sharing crisps with her listening to her
complaints about Rob's ceaseless farting they remain seed partners for almost
three years accompanying her to the park
and stealing my older sister's makeup to try on with her in the bathroom as we
grew into teenagers we were always in each other's company we convinced our
parents to always let us have sleepovers we shared crushes on the cute boys in
the year above us we gossiped about the seniors who cut their uniform skirts so
short even though we did the same in our final year we were the first people to
know when we both got our periods and when I got my first kiss from a dude
called Pablo she was the first person I called to rant about how anti-climactic
it was to get kissed by a boy whose breath stink like onions he just
finished a Big Mac burger before the kiss when we became 16 everyone that
knew us concluded that we were twin sisters that had been separated at Birth
I loved Alicia so dearly and I'd like to believe she loved love me too just not
enough even as we grew into adults we were thick as thieves we met with each
other practically every day shared fashion advice shared our struggles in
the tough world and even shared Secrets good ones and nasty ones without judging
each other I trusted her much more than I ever trusted my sister as the years
rolled by we were separated by distance Alicia had to move to London to promote
her journalism career I had to stay in America with my family and my
underpaying job in a law firm we managed to stay in touch though there were late
night face times on the days we weren't wiped out from work we tried to make
sure we notified each other about the major changes in our lives we even had
virtual dates but it wasn't the same we missed each other terribly and I
couldn't get rid of the sinking feeling that we were drifting apart I dated Zach
for two years when she notified me that she was transferring back to America
she'd gotten a promotion and the headquarters happened to be in New York
I was so excited I could barely contain the excitement in my voice as I told the
news to my family the best part she was going to be sharing my apartment with me
till she was able to get one of her own the night before her arrival I couldn't
sleep I'd thrown a huge surprise party for her at my place I'd invited all of
our old friends I had made sure everyone got her gifts and on the massive cake
was written in capital letters welcome home everything seemed perfect but for
some reason my heart was beating at an unusually fast rate it got even faster
the next day when we were 30 minutes away from her arrival I told her I
wouldn't be able to pick her up from the airport because I was stuck at work so
I'd given her directions to the apartment and told her I'd hidden a
spare key in the potted plant outside the door nothing was out of place and I
was sure she had no clue anything was going on but I was still a bit anxious
what if we've drifted so far that we become strange dangers to each other
what if she hates living with me what if she prefers her British friends to me
were we still best friends I swallowed hard and tried not to think the worst
all would be fine I hoped the air Stood Still as we heard her fumbling with the
keys and opening the lock it was as if everyone in the room had held their
breath as she stepped into the room lights flooded the place and everyone
screamed welcome back home I stared at her from the back of the room she looked
different she hadn't told me that she dyed her hair brown and had cut it short
we'd already put on our bonnets before most of our face times she walked
differently and she looked like she hit the gym every other day but as our eyes
met across the room they looked exactly as I remember and she smiled her wide
childish grin we launched into each other's arms and all my fears were
forgotten it was still Alicia and she was here in person and she looked
amazing we party till late in the evening and caught up on a lot of drama
that had been going on in our lives we were cleaning up from the party when
Zach finally arrived hey babe he said planting a kiss on my cheek sorry I
couldn't leave the gallery early you know how these collectors are I sighed
and dragged him over to Alicia Alicia I called I'd like you to meet Zachary he's
an artist and the only person in the world that always ends up arriving after
the party is over she stared at me wide-eyed you mean Zach like your
boyfriend yeah she shook her head you didn't tell me he was gorgeous Zach
started to cough and I couldn't hold in my laughter Well gorgeous Zachary meet
my also gorgeous best friend Alicia nice to meet you he said though I already
feel like I know you she talks about you all the time it gets tiring his voice
reduced to a mock whisper as he said the last part I playfully hit him on his
torso and he pulled me in for a kiss Alicia rolled her eyes
um too much Pete VA people get a room I laughed at her comment and left them to
get to know each other I wanted all the people I loved to love each other a
little while later I felt a hand across my waist I knew it was Zach he helped me
with the rest of the cleaning and rubbed my feet as I told him about my day
Alicia on the other hand was jet lagged and jumped into bed before we were even
half done cleaning wouldn't it be weird for you having her here I could see the
worry in his eyes as he asked not at all I answered he smiled I know you mean
well and all but you like your space and you're kind of a neat freak I whacked
his head with a pillow it was a neat freak he laughed and tickled me you know
what I mean fine I sighed I do understand what you're saying but it's
Alicia and I'm willing to do anything for her and I meant it being roommates
with her wasn't bad it was a lot of fun and included a lot of weekend alcohol
and Sheet masks sometimes she'd be home before me and would have prepared our
dinner or randomly show up with some delicious treat from work it was only
hard for me when I noticed her shoes under the bed or a pot in the dish rack
or when she slept on my pillow as Zachary said I liked my space clean but
no matter how many times I tried to remind her she seemed to forget one
thing or the other she became friends with Zach and I'd always include her in
any date plans if she wasn't busy and we tried as much as possible not to make
her feel like a third wheel then all of a sudden they both started acting weird
at first I didn't notice the slight changes in both of them when they were
around each other but they became more obvious the controlled glances at each
other now and then the restrain in their tones now and then and I refused to let
myself suspect anything till I noticed how they avoided physical touch so
carefully it wasn't like that before I was sure of it Zack used to ruffle her
hair whenever she beat me at chess or she'd play choke him when he made dumb
jokes but now they were being way too careful they'd keep a lot of distance
between them when they were on the same chair and they wouldn't as much as let
their breaths come in contact with each other and people only did that when
they'd reached a level of intimacy they were trying to hide I was extremely
bothered but I didn't want to make any dramatic decisions just to be proved
wrong I didn't want to believe that what I was thinking was true but the more I
kept quiet the worse things were getting at some point they both became almost
unavailable to do anything with me Alicia would be stuck at a work meeting
while Zach would coincidentally be occupied with some Art Exhibit or the
other at the same time I tried to keep my tongue in my cheek but it was too
much to hold in so I finally asked Alicia what was going on and why she
never seemed to be around anymore she told me it was because she'd met someone
and she liked him but she didn't want to
tell me about him yet because she wasn't
sure if it was serious or not the relief
that course through me was instantaneous that was what was going on I must have
imagined everything I thought I saw Alicia would never do that to me Zach
loved me he wouldn't betray me either since I knew what was going on with
Alicia we seem to have more time together she was always on her phone
texting Mark the mystery guy but she gave me enough details about him to make
me love him for making her so happy I teased her a lot though because she had
this dreamy look in her eyes whenever she talked about him or when she texted
him I told her how I felt like Zach was getting tired of me but she assured me
that she'd never seen two people so in love we were doing sheet masks and
having a gab sesh one Saturday when Mark hit her up it had to be him because her
whole face lit up when she looked at her screen I laughed that Mark huh she said
God am I that obvious we all know the answer but I never replied to that
question because at that moment the fire
alarm sounded in our kitchen which meant that the Forgotten pancakes she was
making must have been black as Char just as she left for the kitchen her screen
flashed with a notification from Mark then she got three more messages from
him in less than a minute Alicia I called Mark must have something
extremely important to say to you but before she could get back to the room
he'd placed a FaceTime for her lo and behold Mark's face didn't fit his name
because his real name started with a z and not an M right there on the screen
his profile picture was flashing at me but the name on the screen was Zacks
desperate to be proved wrong I accepted the call and just as Alicia walked into
the room Zach's surprised face stared at
me from the screen I stared at her while Zach was muttering some excuse from the
phone how could you I asked expecting a full-blown apology but she stared back
at me coldly and told me that I didn't deserve him and that he had stopped
loving me a long time ago but he didn't want to leave me because I was too
immature and he was scared to wreck me so I should grow up and realize that I
can't have the world at my fingertips dumbfounded and filled with raging
emotions I stumbled out the door into the nearest bar I could find I couldn't
breathe this could not have been happening I was probably dreaming but I
wasn't by the time I returned to my apartment she'd cleared out all her
things and left a please don't contact me note on the kitchen table as if I was
ever going to contact her I hated her men come and go but friendships were
supposed to last a lifetime I would have been able to deal with Zach cheating
with anybody else but the fact that she could betray me like that broke me I'd
given her the best of my heart and she guiltlessly messed it up without a
second thought I was never going to let anyone get that close to me again and
she was going to pay very dearly for every teer-eyed shed a year later I
received their wedding invitation in my mail and I couldn't believe that they'd
handed me the opportunity to get my revenge on a platter of gold I didn't
feel sad that they were getting married all I could feel was hate and anger I
felt mocked but that was all right because soon they'd be crying out in
anger and embarrassment the morning of the wedding I dressed up in my best
black gown with a black hat and dark makeup when I walked into the church
everyone turned to look at me but I didn't mind that was exactly what I
wanted I kept my head low till the priest in charge of the ceremony asked
if anyone had an objection then I marched with my eyes fixed on the
confused looking people to the front of the altar I took the microphone from the
priest and cleared my throat today I'm dressed in black I began not as a
mistake but as a symbol of mourning I went on and told the whole church about
how she'd betrayed me and stolen my boyfriend but I didn't stop there I
revealed a very unforgivable secret about how Alicia had gotten pregnant
when she was 20 and she left the baby outside of the orphanage as I walked out
of the church I saw her parents getting up from their seats and leaving the
church too I looked back and saw her crying on the altar with a shocked
looking Zack staring at her but refusing to go close to her I watched the tears
fall for a minute and felt something close to happiness some days later I
heard that the marriage didn't take place you know usually it's just a
formality thing when somebody says Speak now or forever hold your peace or
whatnot but usually most of those people
don't have quite such a big bombshell to
drop to just utterly ruin the wedding op just basically oppenheimered the entire
venue it was like the collective three years of their seatmate Rob the farting
classmate was Unleashed and that venue and everybody just had to clear out I
mean Dirty Laundry like that that was shared that's one of those ones where
you're in the Pew you put your hands up you slap your lap and you immediately go
to get up like I'm not getting involved in this I don't want to be a part of
this memory in therapy but with that being said that's all the time we have

:11.889 --> :16.340 About 10 years ago I worked for a local company
that sold power equipment. :16.340 --> :21.020
Most of our clients were landscapers and contractors
who either bought or had equipment repaired :21.020 --> :22.020
regularly. :22.020 --> :23.840 We knew all our regulars.
:23.840 --> :28.939 It was a great place to work, partly because
the owner and our manager has a zero tolerance :28.939 --> :33.870
policy for customers and clients who were sexist towards female employees.
:33.870 --> :39.160 They supported us, trained us well, and didn’t
gaslight us when we had to deal with jerks. :39.160 --> :45.390
For the most part our regulars were great,
but the weekend warrior, DIY guys were terrible. :45.390 --> :49.350
Most of them had more money than sense and
did not need anything we sold for their home :49.350 --> :50.410
projects. :50.410 --> :54.140
One summer we had hired a young woman to help on the sales floor on the weekend.
:54.140 --> :56.960 She was still in college and kind of lacked
confidence. :56.960 --> :01.600
She was great, she had an Ag background, she just didn’t know our products yet.
:01.600 --> :06.250 One Saturday morning she got stuck with a
weekend warrior who wanted to buy a mower. :06.250 --> :11.270
He was looking at something ridiculous; a
commercial grade, zero-turn, Hustler with :11.270 --> :13.090
a 54” deck. :13.090 --> :18.200
He was not mowing acreage, he did not have a farm, he lived in the suburbs.
:18.200 --> :22.590 She took him outside to look at some of the
mowers and before long we could hear him yelling. :22.590 --> :24.280
The manager hurried outside. :24.280 --> :29.070
I was working on a special order when she
came back into the store trying not to angry :29.070 --> :30.070 cry.
:30.070 --> :31.350 The owner told her to take a break.
:31.350 --> :35.399 The manager finished the sale and the man
then had to go somewhere else to buy a trailer :35.399 --> :38.570
to haul it home because he hadn’t planned for that part.
:38.570 --> :41.409 When the dust had settled I asked the manager
what happened. :41.409 --> :45.530
He said the man started yelling and calling
her a dumb b**** because she didn’t know :45.530 --> :49.299
how to turn on the mower and had offered to go get someone else.
:49.299 --> :54.940 The fact that he was asking the question indicated
he also did not know how to turn on the mower. :54.940 --> :59.460
I’m no longer shocked at the number of people
who will drop thousands of dollars on things :59.460 --> :01.409
they don’t know how to use. :01.409 --> :06.009
Later that day the owner came over to me,
sighed heavily, and told me the guy had called :06.009 --> :10.500
demanding we mail him a copy of the manual because he didn’t get one.
:10.500 --> :14.850 All of the manuals and links to repairs and
parts for all the products we sold were on :14.850 --> :16.010
our website. :16.010 --> :20.870
But no, he wanted hard copy because he had
already been insulted enough and shouldn’t :20.870 --> :22.730
have to find it himself. :22.730 --> :30.090
When I brought up the manual it was 90 pages
long, 45 pages in English, 45 pages in Spanish. :30.090 --> :33.190
I printed off the Spanish copy and left it for the mailman.
:33.190 --> :36.810 I told the owner what I did when I arrived
at work the next day. :36.810 --> :38.310 He just started laughing.
:38.310 --> :42.290 When they guy called to complain, the owner
apologized and told him a lot of our clients :42.290 --> :47.230
speak Spanish so we didn’t want to assume people only spoke English.
:47.230 --> :48.690 The guy returned the mower.
:48.690 --> :51.970 We’re pretty sure he couldn’t figure out
how to get it off the trailer. :51.970 --> :58.269
We sold it a week later to a landscaping company. :58.269 --> :14.530
(Repost because I cannot spell) :14.530 --> :28.590
I run a small-ish online education institution
and finally after 4 years got a magnificent :28.590 --> :32.300
team member to handle all the customer support and tech support questions.
:32.300 --> :36.659 He’s great at that, patient, kind, the full
package. :36.659 --> :41.250
And it took me a while but I finally learned
to set my boundaries and send people his way :41.250 --> :45.110
so I can focus my energy on other things I’m more useful at.
:45.110 --> :49.030 So this one student sends me a private email
about out upcoming program. :49.030 --> :53.720
I forward the message to my trusty colleague
and inform her that he will get to her, which :53.720 --> :54.720
he did. :54.720 --> :01.890
She replies to me - not him - saying his answer
was too wordy and she only has a simple question. :01.890 --> :03.660
Basically tl;dr. :03.660 --> :10.780
Well, I did answer her… in as many words
as him, including some direct quotes from :10.780 --> :12.800
his original message. :12.800 --> :18.000
I did not end with “should you feel like
your enquiry was not addressed to your satisfaction,
:18.000 --> :22.300 please do not hesitate to reach out to any
member of our team and we will address it :22.300 --> :25.810
with our utmost care”, as tempting as it was. :25.810 --> :15.919
I was just wordy enough. :15.919 --> :18.050
This happened at a restaurant a few years ago. :18.050 --> :22.080
We'll just call it "Bracker Carrel" or BC for short.
:22.080 --> :26.909 So on a busy Sunday afternoon the church crowd
was slowly winding down and we were nearing :26.909 --> :28.219
our dinner rush. :28.219 --> :31.640
This particular restaurant you can order breakfast all day.
:31.640 --> :36.670 At around 3pm, two ladies were seated in my
section and I greeted them promptly. :36.670 --> :39.450
Both ordered drinks their food as well at the same time.
:39.450 --> :44.320 Guest 1 (G1 for short) ordered Mama's Pancake
Breakfast with scrambled eggs and cheese with :44.320 --> :46.570
EXTRA EXTRA EXTRA crispy bacon. :46.570 --> :50.770
Guest 2 (G2 for short) ordered the Grandma's
Sampler with scrambled eggs and cheese with :50.770 --> :54.899
EXTRA EXTRA EXTRA crispy sausage, bacon and ham. :54.899 --> :00.080
I put their order in EXACTLY as they ordered
and told the cooks how they said they wanted :00.080 --> :02.940
to see NO PINK ANYWHERE. :02.940 --> :06.460
Cooks make the food, I expedite and bring out their meal.
:06.460 --> :11.280 Everything looks the way they ordered it,
charcoal bacon, sausage and ham. :11.280 --> :15.080
I set the food down and they immediately start running me.
:15.080 --> :19.971 Never once did they ask for everything at
the same time even AFTER I asked, "is there :19.971 --> :22.160
anything else I can get for you?" :22.160 --> :27.430
Every time I brought back something like hot
sauce, ketchup or napkins they always needed :27.430 --> :29.450
something else. :29.450 --> :33.950
After 5 minutes of back and forth they said
everything was fine and I went and did other :33.950 --> :34.950
duties. :34.950 --> :40.080 They hadn't touched their food until I had
EVERYTHING for them they had me run around :40.080 --> :41.080 for.
:41.080 --> :45.790 A few minutes later my manager on duty (MOD)
comes to me and asks me about table 231 (G1 :45.790 --> :46.790
& G2). :46.790 --> :50.180
He says they are complaining their eggs are cold and their food is burned.
:50.180 --> :54.150 I explained they said everything looked fine
and their eggs wouldn't have been cold if :54.150 --> :59.270
they had asked me for extra napkins, hot sauce,
ketchup and extra butter and jelly on one :59.270 --> :01.130
trip instead of 6. :01.130 --> :05.620
He goes back and forth with them and they
are adamant they are NOT paying for the eggs :05.620 --> :09.020
or bacon and are ONLY paying for the pancakes. :09.020 --> :10.690
Cue Malicious Compliance. :10.690 --> :15.459
The Grandma's Sampler comes with 2 pancakes
a sampler of meats, eggs and a side of your :15.459 --> :16.510
choice for $9.99. :16.510 --> :24.339
Two a la carte pancakes are $7.99 so $2 off
(for all of you math geniuses out there 😉) :24.339 --> :30.600
Momma's Pancake Breakfast comes with 3 pancakes,
eggs and your choice of meat for $7.99. :30.600 --> :37.210
Three a la carte pancakes are $9.99 which
is obviously $2 more than the breakfast. :37.210 --> :41.970
MOD hands the receipts to each lady and both stop him before he can walk away.
:41.970 --> :47.570 G2 is b****ing she is paying $2 less than
what her breakfast would have cost and she :47.570 --> :49.630
felt that wasn't a good enough discount. :49.630 --> :54.740
G1 is b****ing because her meal is now MORE than what it was before.
:54.740 --> :59.229 The only thing my boss kept saying to both
of them was, "you asked to only pay for the :59.229 --> :03.729
pancakes and that is what I charged you for," and then he walked away.
:03.729 --> :08.830 They paid up front b****ing the entire time
at the cash register making a scene. :08.830 --> :12.330
Threatened to call corporate and said they
will be returning to speak to someone higher :12.330 --> :14.010
than my MOD. :14.010 --> :18.100
MOD and I went into the back and kept laughing. :18.100 --> :24.469
You don't get many wins in the service industry
but this one will always be a memorable one. :24.469 --> :42.890 I
:42.890 --> :45.900 was working at a gas station about 20 years ago.
:45.900 --> :51.590 One evening this lady comes in, dumps like
five or six handfuls of pennies on the counter, :51.590 --> :53.370
and states her preferred brand. :53.370 --> :58.400
Ordinarily, our cashiers would just tell someone
to f*** off if they were trying this, but :58.400 --> :03.330
I was pretty chill at the time and I had nothing
to do but run the register and stuff my face :03.330 --> :07.610
with food from the deli case, so, cue malicious compliance.
:07.610 --> :12.850 I just said, "Ok, but I'll have to take other
customers, I'll count this between." :12.850 --> :16.210
She objects, "It's all there, I counted it already."
:16.210 --> :21.580 I reply, "If my drawer comes up wrong I'll
get in trouble, I have to count it, sorry." :21.580 --> :27.030
She starts stomping around the store all mad,
throwing her arms around etc (I would later :27.030 --> :32.620
come to recognize this as tweaker behavior),
and I start counting, meticulously setting :32.620 --> :39.130
the pennies aside in stacks of ten, and pausing
every time a customer comes in, all the while :39.130 --> :43.130
this lady is acting like she's been stabbed through the hand.
:43.130 --> :47.680 Maybe half a dozen customers and ten minutes
later, I'm nearing the end of the pile, she's :47.680 --> :52.850
still standing by the door getting more and
more impatient, b****ing at everyone who comes :52.850 --> :53.850
through. :53.850 --> :57.560
I was giving the other customers priority, so they didn't care, of course.
:57.560 --> :02.130 Anyway, I finish counting and she's short,
maybe 15 cents? :02.130 --> :03.780 Who could remember.
:03.780 --> :08.040 It was fairly common for people to raid the
penny dish to cover the cost of a pack of :08.040 --> :13.600
cigarettes they couldn't quite afford, and
this was generally allowed (small town, and :13.600 --> :15.790
after all, who even cares.) :15.790 --> :21.910
But she promised me it was all there, and
I got a bit of a bug up my a** about it, so :21.910 --> :26.870
I take the overflowing free penny dish and
move it behind the counter before calling :26.870 --> :27.870
her over. :27.870 --> :29.150 "You're X cents short."
:29.150 --> :32.530 "Can't I just cover it from the dish, where
is it?" :32.530 --> :33.800 "What dish?" :33.800 --> :35.030
"There's a dish! :35.030 --> :36.140 There's always a dish!
:36.140 --> :37.370 You took it away!" :37.370 --> :40.640
I give her a puzzled look, wave my hands over the counter.
:40.640 --> :43.600 "There's no dish, I don't know what you're
talking about." :43.600 --> :48.260
She is incensed and cusses me out for a while, I just shrugged it off.
:48.260 --> :50.400 She left without her cigarettes, of course.
:50.400 --> :55.130 My boss came over afterward and told me I
didn't have to count those or even take them. :55.130 --> :15.460
Dude did not get me at all, but I just played it straight and was
:15.460 --> :42.340 like "oh, ok." :42.340 --> :50.190
The guys at prorevenge argued that it better belongs here, so here I am.
:50.190 --> :55.200 My house is surrounded by two gardens, one
in the front, facing the street, and one in :55.200 --> :58.000
the back, bordering my neighbours' gardens. :58.000 --> :03.050
When my parents and grandparents moved into
our house 26 years ago, they planted a thick :03.050 --> :05.490
hedge around the entire property. :05.490 --> :11.010
They also installed a rose arch over the pathway
to our front door and my grandfather was always :11.010 --> :16.340
busy keeping up the garden, planting, weeding, keeping everything very tidy.
:16.340 --> :22.610 My grandfather died in 2002 and after that,
the garden was neglected for a few years as :22.610 --> :27.520
my parents were still working and my brother and I were in university/school.
:27.520 --> :29.510 But then, ca. :29.510 --> :34.990
2005, my mum read something that we should
plant stuff to help the bees and she took :34.990 --> :41.350
over the gardens, planting lilac, rhododendron, roses and various berries.
:41.350 --> :46.580 Later we decided to also install raised garden
beds with various kitchen herbs. :46.580 --> :52.410
My mum is now over 70 years old and has officially
given the house over to my brother and me, :52.410 --> :55.980
so that we won't be taxed on inheriting it when she dies.
:55.980 --> :59.180 Since then, I've been sporadically taking
care of the gardens. :59.180 --> :04.610
I like them in their wild shape with all the
birds, bees, bumblebees and butterflies flying :04.610 --> :10.150
around, in autumn we get hedgehogs and we've
been visited by a fox recently (which send :10.150 --> :12.080
my cats into a panic). :12.080 --> :17.040
Then, recently, we received a letter from
the city stating that our garden was interfering :17.040 --> :22.310
with the safety of the street, because the
hedge was overgrowing the pavement and contained :22.310 --> :25.310
poisonous berries which were a danger to children. :25.310 --> :30.750
Now, my brother trims the hedge every month
to make sure nothing is overgrowing the pavement :30.750 --> :37.360
in any way, and while the berries are poisonous,
to get to them you'd have to be quite resilient :37.360 --> :39.550
because they're surrounded by thorns. :39.550 --> :43.350
They are also know to be ideal food for some local birds.
:43.350 --> :48.740 So, I contacted our local nature conservation
association and asked if they would like to :48.740 --> :53.460
have a look at our gardens and maybe tell
us if we could improve anything to make them :53.460 --> :55.640
even more nature friendly. :55.640 --> :01.279
They came, looked around and then told us
they rarely see gardens so in touch with nature. :01.279 --> :07.030
They approved our gardens as "especially nature
friendly" and contacted the city to tell them :07.030 --> :12.370
that from their point of view, any changes
would be considered unfriendly to nature, :12.370 --> :17.970
and since our city prides itself with once
being one of the "green capitals" in our country, :17.970 --> :19.580
they had to budge. :19.580 --> :20.860 Don't mess with my gardens!
:20.860 --> :22.250 I was 19 when this happened.
:22.250 --> :23.250 Im a plus size girl who’s confident in my body.
:23.250 --> :26.280 I’ve been working at the same big chain
restaurant since I was 15 years old. :26.280 --> :27.280
It was my first job. :27.280 --> :28.280
(It’s what one would call higher end fast food) :28.280 --> :29.280
When I went to college I transferred stores
and began working at the same place in another :29.280 --> :30.280
city. :30.280 --> :31.280 Everything was going great for about a year
until we got a new boss. :31.280 --> :32.280
Immediately he singled me out and told me
I needed to stop dressing the way I do because :32.280 --> :33.280
it was going to “lead to men harassing me”
he would say this daily to me and also told :33.280 --> :34.280
me graphic stories of sexual assault he had
witnessed at our workplace because of leggings. :34.280 --> :35.280
One day I stood up to him and told him it’s
not appropriate that he says this stuff especially :35.280 --> :37.250
given all the people under the age of 18 we worked with.
:37.250 --> :40.720 Later into his first week he yelled at me
for something minor and told me I should just :40.720 --> :42.201
quit because he’s going to find a way to get rid for me.
:42.201 --> :43.201 So I did :43.201 --> :48.230
He was transferred to another store and I
came back under a new boss who was amazing :48.230 --> :50.089
and understood what the previous boss had done was wrong.
:50.089 --> :51.089 I worked without incident for a month and
then my original terrible boss came back. :51.089 --> :52.089
Again he singled me out and tried to make
me uncomfortable by telling me I was going :52.089 --> :53.089
to get harassed. :53.089 --> :54.089 This time I fought back.
:54.089 --> :56.710 I told him straight up if he continued I would
sue him and the company for doing nothing :56.710 --> :57.710
after I reported it. :57.710 --> :58.710
He laughed at me and said go ahead and that
I would never get a dime from the company. :58.710 --> :02.160
Cue malicious compliance, I quit on the spot
that day and contacted a lawyer who advised :02.160 --> :06.920
me to file a complaint against the company
with the EEOC for sexual harassment and retaliation.
:06.920 --> :09.510 After a long year of waiting the company agreed
to a mediation by an outside neutral party. :09.510 --> :10.890
I negotiated and was awarded 15K in damages. :10.890 --> :14.529
I’m not sure what happened to him but the company must be P*****.
:14.529 --> :15.579 He messed with the wrong pre law student 🙄 | give me a good story on rMaliciousComplianceIGAVEALADYCHARCOALFORDINNERRedditStories |

:00.240 --> :05.280
today we have an entitled parent story of a Karen
at a water park we'll get into that in a bit but
:05.280 --> :10.680 first babysitting while dad's home sick just
wanted to get this rant off my chest my sister
:10.680 --> :15.240
is a teacher and has to work late about once a
month due to after school events and Theon night
:15.240 --> :19.560 was one of those nights she usually picks
up her son from daycare that closes at 5:
:19.560 --> :23.680 as her husband works until 6 she texted me
a couple of weeks ago letting me know that
:23.680 --> :27.760
she was working late and asked me to pick up her
son tonight and watch him until she got home from
:27.760 --> :33.560
work and I of course agreed today I left work
early to pick him up I generally work until 5:
:33.560 --> :38.720
but work an office job so not a huge deal to work
through lunch and leave work at 4:30 every once in
:38.720 --> :43.640
a while I was shocked when I got to my sister's
house to see her husband at home sick from work
:43.640 --> :49.160
and was cooking dinner just for himself I just
kept my mouth shut for a bit thinking maybe he was
:49.160 --> :54.640
too sick to drive and besides I'd already driven
all the way over here anyways so might as well
:54.640 --> :59.400
spend some time with my niece anyways I started
cooking dinner for my nephew and I and I spent
:59.400 --> :04.280
some time playing with him her husband didn't
help at all he was coughing but honestly didn't
:04.280 --> :09.640
seem super sick and was even working from home a
bit by the time my sister got home I was really
:09.640 --> :14.440
annoyed with his coughing everywhere I'm not sick
and don't want to be and the fact that I really
:14.440 --> :18.920
shouldn't have had to have been there in the first
place and confronted my sister I asked why she
:18.920 --> :24.840
didn't cancel on me and have her husband pick up
his child from daycare rather than me or at least
:24.840 --> :29.320
let me know that he was home sick I complained
as I left work early because I thought that her
:29.320 --> :34.240
and her husband had no other child care options
and that it's a privilege for me to be able to
:34.240 --> :40.200
leave early that could easily be taken away by my
boss she looked really surprised that I was upset
:40.200 --> :44.680
and asked why I didn't speak to her husband but
I told her that she's my sister and honestly I
:44.680 --> :49.680
didn't feel like it was my place to argue with her
husband over this when they should be figuring out
:49.680 --> :53.960
Child Care between the two of them then she got
mad at me for bringing up something her husband
:53.960 --> :58.560
did but I reminded her that she's the one who
asked me to watch your kid in the first place
:58.560 --> :03.280
and she could have canceled she also has the power
to tell her husband to pick him up instead when
:03.280 --> :08.800
I wasn't even aware that he was home and I can't
tell her husband what to do like she can she then
:08.800 --> :13.880
said I don't understand how hard it is to organize
and manage things because I'm not a parent and she
:13.880 --> :19.360
didn't ask her husband to pick up their son today
because it never crossed her mind I was doing it
:19.360 --> :24.280
lastly she thought I'd be happy to spend time with
my nephew I never said I wasn't and I felt like
:24.280 --> :30.040
this was using her kid for manipulation I was done
after that and left anyways I feel bad for just
:30.040 --> :34.440
leaving after an argument but I really thought
they were both being inconsiderate of my time
:34.440 --> :40.720
as a childless woman I think my favors will be
limited in the future this is definitely a great
:40.720 --> :46.520
way to make sure that your family never helps you
again I mean how inconsiderate is it for her to go
:46.520 --> :50.920
well I just didn't think about asking my husband
like what does that even mean I can tell you're
:50.920 --> :55.640
just lying to my face when you say that you didn't
think your husband would be an option to pick up
:55.640 --> :01.960

anyway husband and I were doing some planning
:47.760 --> :52.680
for what we're wanting to do I have family in
their area and husband has other family as well
:52.680 --> :57.720
mother-in-law finds out and tells us we need to
spend the whole trip with her we were planning on
:57.720 --> :03.080
spending all Wednesday with her but then she goes
into a guil trip about how we never see her for
:03.080 --> :09.000
the record we saw her last summer and at Christmas
anyway she wants to spend Wednesday and Thursday
:09.000 --> :14.680
with us and is now saying the trip was for her to
spend time with us no crap but we fly in Tuesday
:14.680 --> :19.400
night and fly out Friday morning only flights
available which means I won't be able to see my
:19.400 --> :26.360
family unless I extend our trip and expenses I got
10 text messages at midnight p.m. her time
:26.360 --> :32.000
last night about why we need to focus on her for
the trip she has surgery not while we're there but
:32.000 --> :36.640
later in the summer for a shoulder injury she
doesn't get time off besides this I don't even
:36.640 --> :42.320
have this time off she can't travel Etc her tone
was rude and she's never talked to me like that
:42.320 --> :47.480
before today she told my husband she wants to sell
her house so she can contribute to a down payment
:47.480 --> :53.000
on a home we're saving for we said we don't want
to talk about that until after the summer how do
:53.000 --> :59.000
we put an end to the generosity that is actually
leveraged to control our behavior is there a way
:59.000 --> :04.520
to gently shut this down she doesn't listen and
isn't interested in our opinions or perspective
:04.520 --> :11.320
and doesn't respect boundaries LOL please help
me I mean whether or not you can gently do it or
:11.320 --> :18.200
firmly do it you just say no and whatever offers
they make you just say no I mean it's not like
:18.200 --> :22.640 they can force their wallet into whatever
exchange you eventually do for a house or
:22.640 --> :27.240
whatnot I mean if you got to start threatening
to go like low contact or something or be like
:27.240 --> :31.600
listen I'm going to just block you for a while
maybe until we get the whole house thing figured
:31.600 --> :37.040
out and then we'll be back our next story is my
grandmother tries to take advantage of my family
:37.040 --> :42.720
and feels to do so with a stroke of luck for my
father important people in the story grandmother
:42.720 --> :49.520
grandfather father and aunt also by disability in
this story I'm talking about disability insurance
:49.520 --> :57.080 setting Arkansas and Oregon the story so in
2018 my father quit his job at a warehouse store
:57.080 --> :02.960
because his 12-hour shifts walking on concrete
floors had destroyed his legs this made us lose
:02.960 --> :09.880
over 2/3 of our income I was 12 or 13ish at the
time so there wasn't much I could do neither my
:09.880 --> :14.920
sister who was only a year older from that point
forward he went to go file for disability since
:14.920 --> :19.240 that was the only way he could get us income
while in the meantime my mother ended up being
:19.240 --> :25.440
the breadwinner of the house with a measly 40,000
a year the doctors kept refusing to scan his legs
:25.440 --> :31.520
so he had a hard time getting disability insurance
he had to use a cane and still does to this day it
:31.520 --> :37.240
was devastating but 40,000 a year for my mother
was enough thanks to one thing I know what you're
:37.240 --> :43.120
thinking how did we survive as a family of four
for 40,000 a year well our grandmother actually
:43.120 --> :47.640
owned the house we lived in so we weren't paying
a dime for the house which lifted a lot of weight
:47.640 --> :53.680
off our shoulders my father tried and tried again
but the doctor scanning his body would not scan
:53.680 --> :59.800
his legs keeping him from successfully getting
disability money and somewhere mid 2020 he got
:59.800 --> :05.560
rejected when he first applied for disability
since his education could get him a good job he
:05.560 --> :10.840
was a high school dropout mind you this ticked him
off since he couldn't get any income whatsoever
:10.840 --> :16.720
and he hated that anyway so during summertime my
sister with the help of grandparents who lived in
:16.720 --> :23.000
Oregon went to Oregon for a few weeks at the time
my grandparents house had grandmother grandfather
:23.000 --> :28.920
and aunt and when she got back she was giving the
hint that she did not want to go back according to
:28.920 --> :34.960
her everything was covered in mold it was greasy
and apparently everyone who lived there had some
:34.960 --> :40.480
sort of hate towards each other mainly grandmother
and grandfather versus aunt aunt and grandfather
:40.480 --> :46.000
smoked so grandmother already had a distaste in
them but she didn't want to cause a scene so she
:46.000 --> :52.320
kept quiet mid 2021 and my grandmother made it
quite clear that she planned to move down saying
:52.320 --> :58.640
sometime by the end of 2022 so we had enough time
ahead to get a house of our own well we thought at
:58.640 --> :03.680
least at after hearing this my father who had
to walk with a cane sadly has to renovate the
:03.680 --> :08.720
house with the help of everyone else but since
he had the most knowledge and skill he pretty
:08.720 --> :15.120
much did most of the work this left him absolutely
destroyed and he managed to replace a tile floor
:15.120 --> :22.120
an entire exterior wall a quite large fence and
insulation in the ceiling I did as much as I could
:22.120 --> :27.480
but I tried to help at least remember when I said
my grandmother owned the house we lived in well
:27.480 --> :33.240
she decided that in mid April while we were still
working on some crap with a 3-week warning that
:33.240 --> :38.720
she was moving down from Oregon and everything
better be gone grandfather wouldn't tag along
:38.720 --> :43.760
since their Oregon house still needed someone to
be there and he wasn't retired yet aunt was not
:43.760 --> :48.880
trusted alone there since she wouldn't even be
there half the time so he had another reason to
:48.880 --> :55.960
stay anyways grandmother was pretty much kicking
us out but her plan was more complex she wanted to
:55.960 --> :01.680
take control of us since she knew we wouldn't be
able to purchase a house with only 40,000 a year
:01.680 --> :07.480
she wanted us to come begging to allow us back in
the house so she would have absolute control over
:07.480 --> :13.040
us as she knew we didn't favor being homeless
she knew my father didn't want to just abandon
:13.040 --> :17.880
everything he had worked on since he never got
a second to enjoy it she knew me and my sister
:17.880 --> :23.040 wouldn't be able to get jobs since we had a
huge workload with both school and the house
:23.040 --> :28.760
we all knew that and she knew that would be our
fate or so she thought my father had actually
:28.760 --> :34.320
success sucessfully got in disability a few months
prior and kept his bonus for a situation like this
:34.320 --> :40.160
but for more of a tornado based reasoning since
Arkansas had gotten quite the tornadoes at that
:40.160 --> :46.040
time with just a week of searching we successfully
got a home about half an hour away and immediately
:46.040 --> :51.240
got to work on moving in my school used Google
Classroom so I was able to miss a couple of days
:51.240 --> :56.120 while still completing schoolwork as we were
completely settled into our new home about 2
:56.120 --> :01.440
weeks after finding said home and I was there
to listen and my father got a call guess who
:01.440 --> :07.040
it was entitled grandmother this is a back and
forth between grandmother and father dad picks
:07.040 --> :13.560
up entitled grandmother says so how are you guys
sitting in a homeless shelter or even a storage
:13.560 --> :20.320
unit clearly waiting for a yes my dad laughs his
butt off well we actually got a home within the
:20.320 --> :25.440
time frame and we don't have to go under your
rules as we all know your plan she says what do
:25.440 --> :32.480
you mean you can't afford such your family makes
somewhere around $40 ,000 at Max father says take
:32.480 --> :39.560
a guess at who got disability benefits silence for
about 10 seconds she says you getting a house or
:39.560 --> :44.080
not your butt needs to finish renovating this
place from what I can see there's still some
:44.080 --> :49.560
missing insulation and you couldn't even finish
my bathroom also how dare you hide your disability
:49.560 --> :55.640
from me I am your mother I should be the first to
hear such father says had you given us the time
:55.640 --> :02.000
that could have been done by now but no we had
had to be gone by 3 weeks and what do you mean
:02.000 --> :07.680
hide my disability it's been clear I've walked
around in a cane for 2 or 3 years it was bound
:07.680 --> :13.120
to happen entitled grandmother mumbles something
and then hangs up a couple weeks later she settles
:13.120 --> :18.760
down to Arkansas as everyone acts as if nothing
happened but entitled grandmother decided it was
:18.760 --> :23.720
time to make an attempt at manipulating my father
to get him to continue working on the house as it
:23.720 --> :29.760
was nowhere near done he didn't have much to do
so he accepted knowing he would be in 3 days of
:29.760 --> :35.320
pain doing so since he had to walk with a cane
half the time she tried this again and again
:35.320 --> :40.760
but we kind of ignored it after a while until
one day around a.m. she tried to get my
:40.760 --> :46.480
father to work on the roof rather than care for my
sister who was in the hospital on the phone call
:46.480 --> :52.800 she acted as if her house was more important
than my sister's heart rate reaching 2113 he
:52.800 --> :57.960
explained the situation thoroughly so she knew
what was going on with my sister but she decided
:57.960 --> :03.200
her own life was more more important than hers and
tried to brush the situation off the conversation
:03.200 --> :09.280
ended badly but she was digging herself a hole
not us she really wanted to go back to Oregon
:09.280 --> :14.400
at that point after the small argument with her
grandfather called my father up with the sake of
:14.400 --> :19.400
not getting divorced from grandmother that he was
removed from the will clearly not knowing the full
:19.400 --> :25.200
story this was one of entitled grandmother's plans
to get us to beg again but they didn't really have
:25.200 --> :31.000
much as it didn't really affect us now yes they
still have the house in Oregon and didn't plan to
:31.000 --> :36.880
sell it anytime soon but she had already brought
down some heavy crap like her tractor so it was
:36.880 --> :42.880
either she sells it or she stays she held for
a little bit she made her decision after having
:42.880 --> :48.960
to spend Christmas alone since no one in Arkansas
who had a social connection to her pretty much my
:48.960 --> :55.040
family liked her she realized that her assertive
personality was catching up to her and that was
:55.040 --> :00.080
that we soon heard that Aunt was kicked out after
entitled grandmother return turned to Oregon and
:00.080 --> :05.640
we believe it was because entitled grandmother
had to yell at someone and we weren't there to
:05.640 --> :10.960
get yelled at she ended up getting an apartment
but she didn't talk to them anymore as far as I'm
:10.960 --> :17.160
aware and that is as far as it's gotten so far in
the meantime I started 11th grade as a 15-year-old
:17.160 --> :22.520
last fall and currently going to finish it up soon
entitled grandmother is back down to Arkansas the
:22.520 --> :28.160
spring break so I'll update if there's enough crap
going on as I am sure she's going to try to do
:28.160 --> :33.960
something I hope I don't jinx myself saying that
I'm so happy for Opie that they managed to get
:33.960 --> :38.920
into a situation right in the nick of time that
they could get out of there God forbid you get
:38.920 --> :43.600
stuck under somebody's thumb like that that wants
to just keep crushing you and smooshing you into
:43.600 --> :48.560
the ground under their shoe I mean what was the
point other than just being satisfied that she was
:48.560 --> :54.320
having control over you guys it just kind of feels
sick and twisted like they're fueling themselves
:54.320 --> :00.520
leeching off of your misery this next story is my
mom was pregnant prant and my parents blamed me
:00.520 --> :05.720
for losing the baby well now I know why my parents
tried to force me to move back in on Thanksgiving
:05.720 --> :11.360
my mom was pregnant with kid number six and I only
recently found out to start things off with one
:11.360 --> :16.120
of my siblings found my Reddit account not too
long after my last post and they showed it to
:16.120 --> :21.440
our parents who in turn showed up in my apartment
screaming at me about how I'd set them up to get
:21.440 --> :27.640
my mom arrested and made the world think they're
bad parents well they are I called them out while
:27.640 --> :32.720
standing in my doorway about all the crap they've
done right down to leaving my siblings at my door
:32.720 --> :38.200
on a day they knew I worked that's bad parenting
any way you look at it and it didn't really matter
:38.200 --> :43.160
that I set them up because I would have otherwise
called the police on my mom anyway when she left
:43.160 --> :47.960 kids at my door and in the end it would have
made no difference my dad looked like he was
:47.960 --> :53.600
ready to raise a fist to me and I said that action
alone proves me right that they're crappy parents
:53.600 --> :58.680
then stated that if he tried to hit me it would
turn out like last time and I don't think his Che
:58.680 --> :04.600
chestnuts could take another hit from my boots
and yes I was wearing them dad seemed to winse
:04.600 --> :09.240 and clench his legs together at the thought
of what I did to him last time so we ended up
:09.240 --> :13.760
leaving and dragging my mom out by the hand and
he yelled back before leaving the hallway that
:13.760 --> :19.320
he expected me to pay them back for the fine they
had to pay for child abandonment since it was my
:19.320 --> :24.880
fault I told them to freak off and that I didn't
owe them crap they didn't say anything back it
:24.880 --> :31.680
was just recently that I got some very bad news my
mom had been about 6 months pregnant and she lost
:31.680 --> :37.880
the baby after a bad fall at home when she slipped
on wet porch steps and landed face down and gravel
:37.880 --> :42.920
honestly I couldn't tell she'd been pregnant at
all the time I'd saw her prior to that she's a bit
:42.920 --> :48.840
on the heavier side and had always been clumsy but
not fat just enough that you really couldn't tell
:48.840 --> :55.560
if she was pregnant or not it's sad and this was
her first miscarriage so she really wanted someone
:55.560 --> :01.800
to blame and that someone had to be me in her eye
because I destroyed the family by not helping and
:01.800 --> :07.160
by costing them so much money she and dad showed
up at my apartment again with her and crutches
:07.160 --> :12.240
just to say it was all my fault she lost the baby
because I refused to come home and help when they
:12.240 --> :16.480
needed me it turned into a pretty big argument
where I called them out on how they were just
:16.480 --> :21.960
looking for free child care and looking to blame
me for something that's not my fault it's not my
:21.960 --> :28.000
fault they got pregnant again when Mom is 44 years
old and it's not my fault it happened anyway blame
:28.000 --> :33.640
it on the cten old porch dad was too cheap to
ever fix a replace well my father laid his hands
:33.640 --> :38.880
on me again when I said that and I got a sharp
right hook from him and then I ended up kicking
:38.880 --> :44.000
his butt one more time I'd never really stopped
working out at the gym and I'm even stronger than
:44.000 --> :49.440
I was when I took him down last Thanksgiving he
didn't stand a chance I blinked out in a rage and
:49.440 --> :54.480
ended up breaking his nose and knocking out both
of his front teeth before my mom's Screaming made
:54.480 --> :59.680
me stop police were called and I was put in cuffs
while my father had to be Tak Tak to the hospital
:59.680 --> :05.400
thankfully the hallways for my apartment complex
have CCTV and I had my phone camera going behind
:05.400 --> :10.240 me in my apartment as well that I'd started
recording when my parents knocked the footage
:10.240 --> :16.480
easily showed that my father attacked me first and
I defended myself I'm essentially in the clear as
:16.480 --> :22.160
it was labeled self-defense but now my parents are
wanting to sue me for my dad's medical bills and
:22.160 --> :27.040
the fine they had to previously pay Dad can't go
to work for some time due to the beating I gave
:27.040 --> :32.360 him he's in a neck brace with a broken nose
a black eye two lost teeth and who knows what
:32.360 --> :38.800
else his beard also had to be shaved off which
he's also very unhappy about he was also pretty
:38.800 --> :44.960
much dead to me even before this so I guess this
makes him double dead to me and what little power
:44.960 --> :50.840
he ever thought he had as my father is gone I'm
physically much stronger than him and soon I'll be
:50.840 --> :56.040
starting a new job that pays way better thanks to
all my hard work these past few months and maybe
:56.040 --> :00.840
with a few years of saving I'll get a much better
place to live my eldest sibling called me to say I
:00.840 --> :05.760
was their hero for beating the crap out of dad and
that they were planning on leaving just like I did
:05.760 --> :10.600
when they turned 18 but it was my next sibling
after them that found my Reddit posts after
:10.600 --> :15.760
hearing them on YouTube and that led to my parents
finding out because my mom heard them talking
:15.760 --> :21.480
about it and made them show my post to her they
said she was enraged and started breaking things
:21.480 --> :25.960
my siblings have apologized that they let Mom and
Dad find out and that they would have never have
:25.960 --> :30.520
said anything if they'd known mom was listening
both have also said that they're happy there won't
:30.520 --> :35.320
be another baby though they are already having to
do a lot of the child care for my parents right
:35.320 --> :41.160
now and they hate it they admitted to blaming me
for leaving it first too but they realized that
:41.160 --> :46.120
when you become an adult you deserve to take your
own path it's still up in the air whether or not
:46.120 --> :51.560
my parents actually will try to sue me but I think
I can safely say that it'll be a loss for them if
:51.560 --> :56.800
they do one of my friends uncles is a lawyer and
said he'd represent me if my parents decide to
:56.800 --> :01.960
Sue and he also says that that they don't have
much of a case since it was self-defense and to
:01.960 --> :08.960
my parents who will probably read this I only have
this to say leave me the heck alone You Don't Own
:08.960 --> :13.960
Me or my siblings and when the time comes for
them to be able to leave at 18 I'll help them
:13.960 --> :20.200
get out of your house you both have always been
selfish narcissists it's not my fault mom lost
:20.200 --> :24.640
the baby and it's not my fault you had such a
hard time without me in the house to be your
:24.640 --> :30.760
free babysitter consider that broken nose and
lost teeth is a good reason to never even touch
:30.760 --> :35.720
me again and don't forget that I've only told
a fraction of the crap that went on in my life
:35.720 --> :41.280
thanks to y'all here if I wanted to I could post
story after story of the crap that went on in my
:41.280 --> :48.560
childhood but that wouldn't bring me satisfaction
so just leave me the heck alone 1 million per that
:48.560 --> :54.040
was self-defense I think that's pretty clearcut
here I don't think anybody especially when we're
:54.040 --> :59.800
viewing the actual video evidence which I hope
op like went and got backups from the apartment
:59.800 --> :05.400
complex CCTV and stuff just to really make sure
there's no way Opie would be liable for any of
:05.400 --> :10.400
this and their friends's Uncle being pro bono I
assume is a pretty clear indicator that it's an
:10.400 --> :17.560
open and shut case our next story is Karen at a
water park again why are there so many anyway I'm
:17.560 --> :23.520
the same guy as the last water park Karen today
was a doozy so strap in all right so this time I
:23.520 --> :30.040
was on the play structure the literal snarkiest
kid I have ever dealt with showed up she was in
:30.040 --> :35.760
her early teens easily she told her little brother
I'm assuming to go down when he definitely wasn't
:35.760 --> :40.800
clear to go I had to yell to get his attention
to tell him not to go the girl then Taps on my
:40.800 --> :46.720
shoulder and goes my grandma said not to yell at
her kids I stared at her and then just said I'm
:46.720 --> :51.440
sorry but if I need to get someone's attention
quickly and they aren't listening I'm going to
:51.440 --> :57.760
yell she gave me a death stare and then jumped
down the slide when I didn't clear her she nearly
:57.760 --> :03.280
ran Amed into her brother strike one next time
she came up she was about to go down early and I
:03.280 --> :09.200
told her if you go down you're on strike too she
straight out turned to me and said I don't care
:09.200 --> :15.200
and went down strike two the next time she just
ran down the slide immediately and even had the
:15.200 --> :21.160
audacity to stick her tongue out at me on her way
down strike three the next time she came up I told
:21.160 --> :27.440
her not so happily sorry but you can't go down the
slide anymore today she pouted and said my grandma
:27.440 --> :33.200
says I can't can I looked her in the eyes and
replied with well your grandma isn't a lifeguard
:33.200 --> :39.520
I am what I say goes again I'm a little ticked
at this point she sticks her tongue out again and
:39.520 --> :45.760
goes downstairs and talks to her grandma May the
fun begin I watch this lady walk her way up the
:45.760 --> :51.600
stairs I'm super excited at this point why did you
tell my baby she can't go down the slide she can
:51.600 --> :57.640
go down the slide let her go down the slide she
came out the gate swinging I wasn't prepared for
:57.640 --> :03.360
that I replied with a simple she broke the rules
three times so she can't ride the slide anymore
:03.360 --> :09.160
today she yelled back what did she do huh she
didn't break any rules let her go down I'm trying
:09.160 --> :15.360
not to smile like an idiot this entire time I'm
sorry ma'am but as the Lifeguard I decide who goes
:15.360 --> :20.560
down the slide and she broke the rules she went
down the slide three times without my permission
:20.560 --> :26.360
endangering both herself and her brother on top of
that she outright taunted me she can't go down the
:26.360 --> :31.960
slide anymore she turned around and said I'm going
to go talk to your manager they'll agree with me
:31.960 --> :37.120
somehow it's the same head guard as last time
I feel like it's a curse at this point honestly
:37.120 --> :42.480
the woman comes back with my headu guard trailing
her this one he told my baby she can't go down the
:42.480 --> :48.440
slide my headu guard turned to me and just said I
saw the camera footage this was just a formality
:48.440 --> :52.960
then he turned to the woman and said ma'am this
lifeguard is correct your granddaughter broke
:52.960 --> :59.440
the rules three times and even taunted him she
cannot go down the slide and then the unthinkable
:59.440 --> :06.440
happened she slapped him she slapped my head guard
in the face he looked at her dumbfounded I stepped
:06.440 --> :11.920
in before he could explode all right ma'am you are
now being expelled from the premises I'm going to
:11.920 --> :16.440
take you to your room you're going to pack your
things and you're going to leave along with anyone
:16.440 --> :22.840
you came with she turned to me shocked for what
reason I paid to be here I'm going to stay I'm
:22.840 --> :28.640 just dumbfounded you assaulted an employee
it doesn't matter if you paid to be here now
:28.640 --> :34.440
let's go to your room so you can pack she just
grunted and said fine I didn't want to stay here
:34.440 --> :41.160
anyway my head guard put his hand on my chest and
stopped me I can handle it stay on play I nodded
:41.160 --> :46.080
and they walked away I watched him take her to
her family he explained what happened and then
:46.080 --> :51.680
he escorted them out so that was easily the most
insane thing I've seen at this park I'm writing
:51.680 --> :57.240
this on my break this happened about 20 minutes
ago you know I've heard of plenty of entitled
:57.240 --> :04.000
people that a amusement parks and things like that
fairs and stuff especially water parks not many of
:04.000 --> :10.400
them rise to the level of just bantly slapping a
guard right there across their face they're lucky
:10.400 --> :15.800
either the guard had some restraint but especially
that op was there because I could imagine anybody
:15.800 --> :21.840
in that situation guard or not employee or not
blowing up and giving a little bit of retaliation
:21.840 --> :28.960
in the sake of self-defense grandma or not I mean
just straight up striking them out of nowhere for
:28.960 --> :34.800
no reason at all but with that being said that's

my husband and my Mill were excited when
I was pregnant with twins but when I got to know about the reason behind that
excitement I was shocked I 28f am currently pregnant with twins and at
first I was overjoyed my husband 30m seemed thrilled too and he's been
incredibly supportive since we found out however I can't shake this nagging
feeling that something isn't quite right when we first discovered I was pregnant
my husband was excited but not overly so he hugged me kissed me and told me he
was happy it was a normal reaction I thought
we went to the first ultrasound together holding hands in the waiting room the
technician did her thing and then she paused looked at the screen more closely
and said congratulations it looks like you're having twins that's when things
started to change my husband's face lit up like I'd never seen before he
practically jumped out of his chair hugging me tightly and kissing my
forehead he kept saying twins we're having twins over and over I was happy
too but his reaction seemed almost over the top | give me a good story on MyHusbandandMyMilWereExcitedWhenIWasPregnantWithTwinsbutorig |

hello everybody hope you're all doing well my name is steven
and this is the story time channel today
we have some entitled parent stories and
our first story of the day is by red nry t
entitled mother says her kid don't want to eat veggies so entitled mother
decided to raid my fridge and cooked a dozen
eggs i had visitors a week ago at my new house and some of them brought their
kids lots of little kids aged 9 and below anyway i try to be a gracious host
i entertain the kids and let them play on my video games
switch so their parents and my parents can have time to talk and enjoy company
of each other the kids pretty much enjoyed splatoon 2
and 4 of them can play at the same time my house was filled with laughter of
kids and for breakfast since they came early i decided to leave
the kids playing and the adults with their conversation
and i prepared chicken soup i slipped in tiny slices of carrots and cabbages
same recipe as how my mom does it to make it healthy for the kids
by the time i finish i was surprised to see that one of the parents is now
playing and the kids are now just watching anyway i called them over to
the kitchen and served them breakfast the adults let
the kids eat first since i have a small dining table
only seats up to six people the kids loved it
after a while one of the kids asked uncle this tastes so good what's your secret
i was overwhelmed it's my first time cooking for other people than myself
so feeling like a pro chef i explained that i blanched the veggies so when i
put them in the soup they retained their crisp
the kids are so amazed that what they actually ate just now
are carrots and cabbages they said they hated this thing
so now they're all gathering around and so eager for what i cook next
now they're very eager to taste the rest of the veggies in my fridge
so i told them i'll stir fry noodles topped with veggies for lunch using a
chinese recipe i learned from my dad i showed them string beans sweet
potatoes eggplant bitter melon garlic and some onion i was
surprised that some of them don't even know what they
look like yes they know the name because they say they learned it from school
but they didn't have a chance to see it in person anyway
as i showed them how to cut but didn't let them touch the knife because i was
afraid they'd lose a finger one of the parents saw them and screamed
at them she brought them out of the kitchen
and as they left i can hear the kids so eager to tell their stories about
vegetables so i proceeded on cooking and when it's time for lunch i called them
over this time around the adults should eat with us so i took some extra chairs
and i allowed some of them to eat on the couch now the kids are all excited to
eat my veggies except one all the other kids
kept asking each other how it tastes like and they all exclaim how delicious
it was one even said it doesn't taste like any veggie she had ever eaten before
but one of them was quiet and had an empty plate
so i asked him why aren't you eating don't you like it
poor kid i can see that he wants to say something but he glanced at his mom
instead he doesn't eat vegetables oh okay is he allergic or something
nope he's just a very picky eater oh why don't you have a bite and just don't
finish it if you don't like it i said to the kid and the kid just
glanced over to his mom again if you only knew how hard i tried to
force him to eat them but no he cries his eyes out and throws his plates
okay shall i cook you something else then bacon
fried chicken just don't bother with him i'll just cook him eggs
i gave up encouraging the kid to eat and just ate lunch myself
after the entitled mother was finished she went over to my fridge and decided
to take a tray of eggs out and started cracking them one by one i
asked her if she needed any help but no she insisted on cooking herself
she even said i must be tired of all the cooking so i should just relax
okay so i left her and joined the kids they still keep on asking how i did it
like it was some magic i envy their innocence how fun it would be to
experience life as a kid again it took a while
until the kid got back the other kids began teasing him that he was not able
to taste my dish but now he's boasting about how many
eggs both him and his mom had eaten a dozen eggs for
lunch i am feeling sorry for the kid but i don't want to embarrass him
he's proud of himself i'm not quite sure if this was normal for this kid and his
mom to go visit another house and cook their food without asking permission
or it's just that i was quite hospitable that they forgot they don't live here
and for goodness sake a dozen eggs for lunch a dozen eggs is pretty ridiculous
especially between one adult and one child
they must have been eating nothing but eggs
and that's it and even that's still way too many eggs to be eating just
eggs in one sitting at lunchtime nonetheless what do you guys think is a
dozen eggs between one adult and one child too much to have at lunch time let me
know in the comments down below our next story is by aita crybaby
cameron accuses a white boy of kidnapping his asian sister
my girlfriend has a college friend named may she was adopted from china and
brought to the u.s as a baby we were chatting in the dining hall when
mae told me this bizarre story that happened between her and her older
brother john note may is the only adopted child in this family
joan's mom was busy one day and needed someone to pick up mae from middle school
so she asked john to do it usually how it works is several supervisors watch
all the kids and then guide each parent to their kid when jon approached this
one supervisor aka karen she was skeptical that this was mae's brother
jon explained his mom was busy so she asked him to do it
he even showed her his driver's license but she was still skeptical karen told
john to wait without calling mae over apparently karen tried to call mae's mom
and dad but neither answered by then almost all the kids had already gone
home may noticed her brother and tried going out to him and the following
exchange was something like this mae says oh hey john karen says get back
in the building we can't verify who this man
is mae says miss karen that's my brother well we can't verify him so you can't
leave with him jon says miss karen i am her brother may
was adopted didn't my mom tell you for all i know you could be some
stranger here to kidnap a little girl it's for her safety
as well as ours may and john were both getting annoyed so they just waited
before they knew it the police showed up karen says she suspected this young man
of trying to kidnap his own sister and possibly even be a predator
she also made snide remarks like i know i wouldn't want
my kid to be in this situation john showed his license again
and mae pleaded with the cops that this was her brother
john called his mom and finally she picked up
when jon told his mom what happened she was pissed
karen tried to argue it was for the kid's safety
one mom to another surely you must understand my position
john's mom was having none of it she went off on the karen accusing her of
being sexist for assuming her son was a predator and
racism for assuming he wasn't related because he's white
she said if jon was chinese or if mei was white
she wouldn't doubt that they were related karen was arrested for her false
accusations and later got fired i've heard of black caretakers
being accused of kidnapping white kids but i guess
asians aren't immune from this either in any event
it sounds like may's got a good family behind her
i was totally following the story up until op said that karen was arrested
for false accusations op later clarified that the karen was
arrested for making a false police report which is
maybe a little bit more believable but still feels like a stretch
but bottom line regardless of whether it's true or not
this sounds like a very real story that could have happened
and it's unfortunate i kind of understand it from the karen's perspective
but once the brother is clarified they showed a driver's license with the
address and made themselves pleaded that it's
their brother that they're there to pick them up
i feel like it shouldn't have propagated into such a big thing
most places like this do have some kind of form or pre-registered people who are
qualified to pick up a child so i feel like it might be on the middle
school for not having a better process on the ways to handle this
our next story is by ashton 055 entitled dad wants one year old to go on
fast rollercoaster so for a little backstory this happened
before corona on my birthday and i went to a chuck e cheese-like place
there's a small roller coaster in there called crazy 8
that is 4 plus and goes super fast in a figure 8 and i decided to go on there
now to the actual story i was waiting in
line and in front of me was entitled dad holding his barely one year old when it
was entitled dad's turn to go on this is how the conversation between
them went down worker one says excuse me sir how old is your
son entitled dad says he is one year old sorry he has to be at least four years
old to ride the roller coaster points to the sign no no i said he's
four years old sir you can't just change his age
entitled dad's kid looks nothing close to 4 years old anyways please let me on
sir i'm gonna have to ask you to go to a different game or ride that you can do
with your child as it is not safe for him to go on this ride
entitled dad says with impatience what do you mean let me on
starts trying to go into the roller coaster at this point
everyone in line including myself is getting impatient
sir leave right now or i'm gonna have to call security
entitled dad walks away freak you worker one says goodbye sir have a nice day
excuse me why are you telling me goodbye and have a nice day
literally said this word for word was the funniest crap i ever heard me and my
friend were cracking up but he wasn't fully english so it's maybe why he didn't
understand sarcasm slash being nice to the customer no matter
what worker one ignores entitled that at this point and is letting me
and other people on the roller coaster after a little bit i decided to go on it
again and there's a new worker at the roller coaster
and i was there in line for it and coincidentally look who's there right in
front of me entitled dad worker 2 says how old is your son
4 years old ok step right ahead this is where i come in most likely
stopping that little 1 year old from getting phone off the roller coaster
because of him being way too small not fitting in the restraint properly
i say excuse me that kid that you let on is 1 years
old that dad lied about his age then i continued to explain what happened
before with the other worker worker 2 says ok thanks for letting me
know it wouldn't be my fault if he got hurt though
as he lied about his age after letting me on the roller coaster
i see her talking in a walkie-talkie probably calling security
and confirming what i said has actually happened with her co-worker
worker 2 walks up to entitled dad sir you have to get off this roller coaster
as your son is too young to ride it what the heck do you mean he's 4 years
old we have security coming right now so if you don't get off
you will be escorted off the property no i don't wanna move
okay you will be in a second yeah sure start this roller coaster
security shows up the security didn't even have to say a
word and entitled dad just bolts out of there
okay listen op nobody likes a snitch okay just kidding the kid was one years
old why are you trying to bring them on a roller coaster that has a minimum age
of at least four and that's probably a stretch too
it must have been a very junior coaster but still
don't try to bring a one-year-old on a roller coaster of any kind
this next story is by cheesy fryzo3 entitled ant wants me to organize a
birthday party for her because i had one for my mom okay so
this happened some six to seven years back
the person in question is my aunt let's call her entitled and
my mom had finished her phd that year it was a big deal for all of
us firstly because on both sides of the family
she became the most educated person and second
due to certain problems her phd was delayed by a year
and we all knew she had worked really hard for it
on the day she formally received her degree there couldn't be a celebration
because there was another thing that needed to be attended to
nonetheless we made sure there was her favorite food at home and she felt cared
for now her birthday was also close so we made a plan to have a really big
celebration for her we made the entire day about her
everything was planned according to her liking since she always preferred only
the most closest people for her special occasions
there was only the immediate family who lived close
that included my grandparents parents and me and my sibling
i got some gifts for her including a dream catcher
important later made sure she was pampered and had a lovely rosette cake
prepared like this one skipped to a month later
we had extended family visiting and that included my mom's younger sister
entitled aunt she happened to glance at the dream catcher prominently displayed
in the house and kept asking me where i got it and if she could have it
i told her this was my mom's birthday gift and no
it's hers so you threw a birthday party for insert mom's name
why wasn't i invited i told her how that was a small affair and blurted the
details including the cake she got angry in order to have a
birthday party for herself organized by me i got numb
lady birthday parties are not asked for her own children would never go the mile
for her because how she is lazy misogynist and typical patriarchal mindset
mum later told me to let it go i don't wish her on her birthdays
anymore it really tells you enough about the person when they see something or
they hear about a birthday party that happened
and their first reaction is oh throw one for me
not something like oh happy birthday by the way or i hope it was fun
or what did you do just jumping straight to do something for me
do this for me i want that experience to happen for me
it's not representative of what you want to see out of a family member
and our final story of the day is by mexico99
entitled mom demands fifteen hundred dollars after i give
her a puppy so this happened around a month ago
i have two golden retrievers and they recently had a pupper
not one pup they had seven and i wrote that because we'll be focusing on this
dog i gave the rest to friends and family
members it's already pretty difficult to look after my two dogs and a third one
was driving me crazy so i decided to give the dog to someone for free
i asked a couple of friends and family members and my mom said that she had a
friend that was looking for a dog for months now so i messaged her
and she said she would take it great we planned on meeting in a park so the dog
would run around and such when i head there i saw entitled mother and her son
i walk up to them with my pup on my arms they look at the dog
the child plays with her while we talk the following is what happened
entitled mother to her son did you like the dog honey
the child nods while he's playing with the dog i say
alright so i can give you some dog food and a leash for giving this puppy a good
home that's it i mean i looked up what dogs needed to be taken care of
and this is a bit too less don't you think me confused yeah this is not enough
but i thought you could buy the rest normally when you get a dog from a
shelter or anything you gotta get these things with your own
money well i thought i could get some things from you since i'm friends with
mom's name i looked at dog products on ebay and i
thought you could give me around fifteen hundred dollars so we could get the
products what no that's not how it works i have
two dogs in my house and i need that money for rent
entitled mother says that she doesn't have that much money so she won't get
the dog and i thought that was it then entitled mother walks over to her son
and tells him that they're not going to get the dog the brat started screaming
and rolling on the floor entitled mother is a bit angry now and walks over to me
see you made him cry if you just gave me the dog this wouldn't happen
are you kidding me you're the one who asked for fifteen hundred dollars
i'm not gonna give fifteen hundred dollars to a person just because they
took my dog everyone could hear us now after a while of this
a policeman came asking what's happening i had the dog on my arms
he's trying to steal my dog he stole her from my son
she pointed at the kid who was still crying are you
crapping me i was trying to give this dog to you but you wanted money for
taking her me speaking to the policeman explaining everything
the policeman was confused as there was no proof of our stories until i showed
him a picture where my dog was pregnant and another one where the puppy was born
he believed me and i laughed the woman was screaming at me when i was leaving
i immediately called my mom to tell her everything and that
was that in retrospect i think that ops should feel happy that they didn't go
ahead and give this dog to this person because
i don't think they would have taken very
good care of them if that's how entitled mother is
acting i don't feel confident in their abilities to properly
take care of the dog or any pet they can hardly take care of their own kid
opie later said that they gave it to a good college friend so i'm glad
it didn't go to entitled mother but with that being said that's all the time we
have for today so if you enjoyed the stories today let

said the food they ate made him sick he said the cabin was a mess I comforted
him and told him I was sorry I told him not every family is like ours my son

lot of candles and he told me he tried to imagine the smell so he could fall
asleep that made my heart melt he told me I'm the best he said I always take
care of him and his brother and then I'm nice to their dad he said he thanks God

sweet to hear him appreciate what he has | give me a good story on Mysoncamehomecryingafteratripwithhisfriendsfamilyaitaredditstoriesredditaitaorig |

:00.190 --> :04.880 For reference, I'm 17 and am in school full-time,
five days a week. :04.880 --> :09.200
I work 12-8 on the weekends and haven't had
a day off other than for covid leave since :09.200 --> :10.200 August.
:10.200 --> :12.559 Of course my seven-day week schedule isn't
ideal, but I really appreciate the income :12.559 --> :15.279
and have grown to like my job. :15.279 --> :17.620
Last Summer, I really struggled to find myself a job.
:17.620 --> :20.430 I was 16, and after dropping in and emailing
40 different employers and revising my cv :20.430 --> :22.260
about a million times I lost all hope. :22.260 --> :27.300
My parents decided that I was old enough to
support myself and cut me off financially :27.300 --> :29.090
and stopped giving me bus money or lifts. :29.090 --> :34.300
I live in the countryside, about 20km away
from all my friends so I spent the Summer :34.300 --> :37.019
completely alone which was really difficult for me.
:37.019 --> :41.670 All of my employed friends had gotten their
jobs through their parents or friends of their :41.670 --> :48.120
parents, but my parents still made no effort
to put in a personal word on my behalf to :48.120 --> :50.140
any employers they were on friendly terms with. :50.140 --> :54.429
Anyways, August rolled around and I finally
got a job at a McDonalds about a half hour :54.429 --> :56.409
drive from me after four months in isolation. :56.409 --> :00.809
My parents immediately turned their noses
up at the mention of McDonalds but I wasn't :00.809 --> :04.980
in any position to be picky and I'm still very grateful for the job.
:04.980 --> :09.200 They have always put massive pressure on me
to do well in school, and so, to please them, :09.200 --> :13.530
I've been over-exerting myself for months and have a long streak of A's and B's.
:13.530 --> :18.570 Unfortunately, I miss a day or two of school
on average a month because of my period. :18.570 --> :23.370
For years, I've spent once a month paralysed
with cramps and nausea which are a million :23.370 --> :27.110
times worse than what any other girl I've
talked to about this has ever experienced. :27.110 --> :29.960
I'm convinced I have endometriosis and have
brought the subject up with my parents again :29.960 --> :34.510
and again over the years and have begged them for a hospital appointment.
:34.510 --> :41.390 Four years later, and I still havent seen
anybody about my period pains and I still :41.390 --> :43.010
continue to miss school over it. :43.010 --> :47.200
Despite this, my parents are constantly on
my back about the days that I've missed at :47.200 --> :52.190
school and yet neglect to get me any sort
of help or treatment for what I'm going through. :52.190 --> :56.790
About two months ago, I missed a week of school
because I was sure I had covid when in actuality :56.790 --> :57.790
I just had a bad dose of tonsillitis. :57.790 --> :03.090
My parents were furious when I tested negative
for covid and nagged and argued with me about :03.090 --> :07.440
it for about another month until I actually
did test positive and ended up missing another :07.440 --> :08.440
full week of school. :08.440 --> :16.100
I have since caught up on all the work I missed
and I haven't broken my streak of A's and :16.100 --> :17.100 B's.
:17.100 --> :21.040 Today and yesterday I stayed home from school
because I've had another bout of tonsillitis(which :21.040 --> :23.540
went untreated last time and this time as well.) :23.540 --> :28.250
Apparently, this was the breaking point for
my Dad and he called me down from my room :28.250 --> :33.770
and told me if I didn't either quit my job
or drop down to one day a week he was going :33.770 --> :37.050
to go into my managers office and withdraw his parental consent himself.
:37.050 --> :40.760 He blamed my illness on work and told me that
it was unacceptable that I was missing school :40.760 --> :44.920
and told me that I needed to take a day off to dedicate wholly to study.
:44.920 --> :51.880 I tried to reason with him and showed him
my report cards and recent test results and :51.880 --> :59.330
told him my grades were perfect and that I
couldn't be blamed for catching covid or tonsillitis.
:59.330 --> :02.099 He shut me down and told me that my grades
didn't matter because the fact remained that :02.099 --> :04.069
I was "still missing school." :04.069 --> :09.200
I'm unsure what to do or how to change my Dad's mind.
:09.200 --> :14.710 I know a seven-day week is extreme for someone
my age but I have no other option. :14.710 --> :20.120
In order to see my friends and do nice things
in the city outside of school, I need funds. :20.120 --> :21.910
In order to have funds, I need a job. :21.910 --> :26.630
My parents want me to have both a school life
and a social life, but won't give me a single :26.630 --> :30.200
cent out of their pocket to get me out of my countryside jail cell.
:30.200 --> :32.709 Pocket money is out of the question; I've
tried to negotiate my way into making some :32.709 --> :37.240
kind of deal with them by doing good in school
and doing any chores my parents ask of me, :37.240 --> :42.400
but their argument is that I shouldn't be
rewarded for doing the bare minimum of what :42.400 --> :43.940
is expected of me. :43.940 --> :48.180
Now that I have my own job, I'm financially
independent and can no longer be guilt-tripped :48.180 --> :50.480
by them about money or by my "laziness." :50.480 --> :53.950
I am currently saving for a month long holiday
during the summer and I already have deposits :53.950 --> :56.670
laid down and plane tickets bought. :56.670 --> :00.750
Still, I need to earn a little extra money to pay the entire thing off.
:00.750 --> :10.040 It's my reward to myself for the effort I've
put in at school and for all the hours I've :10.040 --> :11.310
worked. :11.310 --> :17.080
I really want to do something nice for myself
before I hunker down and inevitably quit my :17.080 --> :19.269
job for my final year at school next year. :19.269 --> :29.000
For me, my job allows me to actually do nice
things for myself and to see my friends—quitting :29.000 --> :32.110
it or slicing my income in half is not an option. :32.110 --> :36.230
Without it, my parents have made it very clear
that they would not support me or give me :36.230 --> :40.110
any kind of pocket money to get a bus to see my friends or to treat myself.
:40.110 --> :45.400 I've proved to my parents time and time again
that I can excel in school, take care of my :45.400 --> :49.669
physical and mental health, see my friends
and simultaneously work but they're still :49.669 --> :50.669
not satisfied. :50.669 --> :53.730
I'm very frustrated by this whole situation
as I am an only child who is fortunate to :53.730 --> :54.919
have two working parents who are married happily. :54.919 --> :58.780
Still, it often bothers me that I have friends
with five siblings and a single mother who :58.780 --> :00.560
have better financial support than me. :00.560 --> :03.500
Of course, I know people's financial situations
are not nearly as straightforward as that :03.500 --> :10.720
and I don't mean to sound spoiled, but it
is frustrating for me and I wish my life could :10.720 --> :11.720
be different. :11.720 --> :12.720 What can I do?
:12.720 --> :14.910 Am I being an asshole by not obeying them?
:14.910 --> :15.910 Is this fair? :15.910 --> :22.310
Any advice would be appreciated so much :,)) Few
nights ago I was contacted by egg donor my :22.310 --> :28.850
“mother” I cannot call her that because a mother wouldn’t do what she did to me
:28.850 --> :29.850 growing up. :29.850 --> :33.770
I am currently in therapy trying to deal with
my feelings and letting go of every thing :33.770 --> :36.270
that has happen to me because of her. :36.270 --> :38.160
The moment I saw her message I froze. :38.160 --> :41.400
I had this sinking feeling in my chest but also I couldn’t breath.
:41.400 --> :43.990 Every thing I worked so hard for to put her
out of my mind came running back. :43.990 --> :47.910
The reason I cut her out was because of how toxic and a narcissist she is.
:47.910 --> :53.090 All her insecurities were pushed on me, everything
that was wrong in her life was my fault so :53.090 --> :55.400
to break free I cut her off. :55.400 --> :01.940
This is what she said to me, it might not
make sense because it was translated to English :01.940 --> :05.740
but hopefully you get the gist of what she is saying.
:05.740 --> :06.780 Egg donor: 1. :06.780 --> :12.800
I know that I was not the mother you wanted
but there is a no book that they sell it and :12.800 --> :18.509
with time you will understand what a mother
is like is always there for everything I always :18.509 --> :23.139
wonder what I did wrong and the answer ends
in I love you with the Soul and in the end :23.139 --> :27.360
IT matters I want you to always be e are for
life Although many times they are borrowed :27.360 --> :30.020
Excuse me for not being the mom What you wanted
but sometimes you don't play what God didn't :30.020 --> :33.110
give Just remember What Here and wherever I carry you in my heart forever
:33.110 --> :39.100 2 I understand if you don't want to keep contact
with me but with your father do it He's already :39.100 --> :43.150
old and I think he needs you I ask you to
put the good times with the As dad was always :43.150 --> :44.150 good
:44.150 --> :48.020 3 Remember that I love you very much And no
matter what happens, it will always be Your :48.020 --> :49.020 house
:49.020 --> :50.020 4 don't answer me :50.020 --> :51.610
5 I don’t want any insults :51.610 --> :55.840
She said that because she saw me writing her back and I said this.
:55.840 --> :00.770 Me: I don't care what you feel, you have never
apologize once for how you treated me, how :00.770 --> :02.200
you insulted me or anything. :02.200 --> :03.630
You were never a mother. :03.630 --> :05.940
You stop being a mother the day you left me when I was 14.
:05.940 --> :06.940 You are selfish, narcissistic, hypocrite.
:06.940 --> :08.950 Your punishment is knowing you will never
be in my life or my children life ever again. :08.950 --> :10.270
All your actions as a adult were clear. :10.270 --> :13.990
You are the most selfish person I have ever
met and despiste how cruel and evil you were :13.990 --> :16.120
I am better than you because I never want to be anything like you.
:16.120 --> :21.130 In this whole message you never once said
I'm sorry, because you are so selfish, you :21.130 --> :23.639
only thing about you and what you want. :23.639 --> :27.889
You will never hear from me, my father will never hear from me no one will.
:27.889 --> :34.930 The day you kicked me out and spat on my face
is the day I died for all of you. :34.930 --> :37.440
I blocked her and I thought that was the end. :37.440 --> :40.690
The was the first message I ever said I’m those 9 months I been no contact.
:40.690 --> :44.259 It broke me in a way but whatever an hour
later she found another one of my social media :44.259 --> :48.139
( a new one I created that no way she could have found me but she said this)
:48.139 --> :52.220 Egg donor: Sorry for everything I know that
sometimes words hurt more than words blows :52.220 --> :54.280
and I understood that too late But don't forget that we love you with the heart.
:54.280 --> :55.470 That’s the most fakest apology ever.
:55.470 --> :56.940 She couldn’t even say what she sorry for.
:56.940 --> :58.860 SHE ONLY SAID SORRY BECAUSE I SAID IT.
:58.860 --> :59.860 I blocked her. :59.860 --> :00.860
And deactivate my social media for a while. :00.860 --> :02.540
Anytime my phone vibrates I have the sinking feeling it’s her.
:02.540 --> :06.020 I’m sorry for my whatever this is, I just
needed to share it with people who aren’t :06.020 --> :07.020
close to me. :07.020 --> :08.020 It’s been weighting on me for days.
:08.020 --> :09.830 No one deserve to have such shitty parents.
:09.830 --> :13.260 I hope I can be better for me and for my child.
:13.260 --> :17.840 First and foremost, I will not be giving you
the name of my YT channel. :17.840 --> :22.230
Im not here to plug my channel but to share a story relating to it.
:22.230 --> :28.289 Second, this is a part two to another story
I've told on this reddit page, about 2 years :28.289 --> :29.289 ago.
:29.289 --> :33.570 To summarize, my aunt wanted me to upload
her son's (my cousin's) video to my channel, :33.570 --> :39.260
which I tried politely telling her no, but
she didn't like that response and made a scene :39.260 --> :40.260
about it. :40.260 --> :44.720
2 years later, ive returned to give you guys
another story relating to my entitled aunt :44.720 --> :46.680
which I've been waiting to share. :46.680 --> :49.470
With that being said, lets get into what happened..
:49.470 --> :57.290 So at this point, im at about 6,000 subscribers
and things are going great for me on YouTube. :57.290 --> :58.290
People are enjoying my content. :58.290 --> :03.910
Since that interaction 2 years ago, my aunt
hadn't really brought up my channel or asked :03.910 --> :06.209
me anything related to it since. :06.209 --> :11.380
I had seen her a few times the past 2 years,
but we hadn't really interacted that much. :11.380 --> :13.390
Just a casual "hi" here and there. :13.390 --> :14.829
However, about a week ago. :14.829 --> :19.170
My cousin (whos well aware of my YouTube channel)
decided one day to Google search me and ended :19.170 --> :24.170
up finding my reddit user, and from that..
had found that post I made 2 years ago, about :24.170 --> :25.440
my aunt (his mom). :25.440 --> :29.480
Now he's 13 years old, so I dont really blame him for this.
:29.480 --> :38.560 But of course, he ended up showing that post
to his mom, and she did not like it one bit. :38.560 --> :42.380
Later that day, I get a call and this is how the conversation basically went...
:42.380 --> :43.380 Me: Hello? :43.380 --> :44.380
Aunt EM: Hey! :44.380 --> :46.330 I just had a question for you
:46.330 --> :47.350 Me: Sure, whats up :47.350 --> :51.990
Aunt EM: So my son found this post online
about 2 years ago, and he says you made it. :51.990 --> :57.680
Which talks about that time I asked you to
upload his video to your YouTube channel. :57.680 --> :02.279
Me: (a little nervous because I never thought she'd see it) Oh?
:02.279 --> :03.690 Yeah um, im sorry. :03.690 --> :05.830
I just didn't think you'd ever see that. :05.830 --> :07.770
I could delete it if you want. :07.770 --> :11.660
Aunt EM: Yeah, you need to delete that, that
just seems very inappropriate, considering :11.660 --> :12.920
it was a private conversation. :12.920 --> :15.180
What made you think you could do that? :15.180 --> :20.280
Me: (a little annoyed at that) well, Aunt
EM.. you did sort of cross a line when you :20.280 --> :23.680
tried to push that on me, especially when i told you no.
:23.680 --> :25.100 Aunt EM: That's no exuse.
:25.100 --> :28.580 I think this YouTube channel thing is going
to your head. :28.580 --> :30.250 Me: Going to my head?
:30.250 --> :31.970 What do you mean? :31.970 --> :36.791
Aunt EM: I think its making you act irrationally and mean.
:36.791 --> :38.540 I dont think you should keep doing it anymore.
:38.540 --> :43.760 Me: No offense aunt EM, but we haven't really
spoken, you dont know how I am or what I do. :43.760 --> :48.500
Aunt EM: Well after making a post like that,
I cant say it's making you a kind person. :48.500 --> :54.950
I think maybe you need to hand over your login
information for YouTube so I can delete that :54.950 --> :55.950 post.
:55.950 --> :59.850 (At this point, I realized she was confusing
Reddit and YouTube as being the same platform) :59.850 --> :03.840
Me: Aunt EM, that post was made on Reddit, it wasn't posted on YouTube.
:03.840 --> :08.990 Aunt EM: well I need the login for both of
them, quite frankly you shouldn't be on either. :08.990 --> :10.570
Me: thats not gonna happen. :10.570 --> :12.470
You do realize im 23, right? :12.470 --> :14.600
Why do you even want my channel? :14.600 --> :18.770
Aunt EM: You act like I haven't seen the videos
you've posted, they're very inappropriate. :18.770 --> :20.990
This is very immature for someone your age. :20.990 --> :23.030
Ill make it easy and delete it for you. :23.030 --> :24.279
Me: Do you hear yourself? :24.279 --> :25.490 Thats not gonna happen.
:25.490 --> :27.010 I don't need your approval.
:27.010 --> :32.160 Aunt EM: (Thinking she can scare me) you know,
I could always just email these websites to :32.160 --> :33.370
have you taken off. :33.370 --> :34.589 Me: That won't work.
:34.589 --> :36.470 Aunt EM: oh, I know it'll work.
:36.470 --> :41.980 So just do me a favor and make this easier
on yourself, I don't wanna have to get your :41.980 --> :42.980
mother involved. :42.980 --> :46.450
Me: (very annoyed at this point) yknow Aunt EM, just do what you gotta do.
:46.450 --> :47.770 Im done with this conversation.
:47.770 --> :50.130 Aunt EM: Oh I intend too, so watch out.
:50.130 --> :51.180 Me: yeah sure, bye. :51.180 --> :55.430
After I hung up, the first thing Aunt EM did was call my mom.
:55.430 --> :01.160 Telling her that I was a menace and a delinquent,
and that this YouTube channel was messing :01.160 --> :02.220
with my head. :02.220 --> :07.500
And from what my mom told me later on, she
told Aunt EM that she was delusional and out :07.500 --> :08.500
of line. :08.500 --> :09.540 Not sure if Reddit (or r/entitledparents)
or YouTube received any complaints. :09.540 --> :15.210
But that post I made 2 years ago is still up, and I haven't received any issues.
:15.210 --> :18.670 I haven't spoken to Aunt EM at all since that
interaction. :18.670 --> :21.459
So I'm hoping that was the end of that. :21.459 --> :25.930
It might be petty to be making this post, and running the risk of her seeing it.
:25.930 --> :32.960 But regardless, I wanted to share it you guys.So
this is insane and I get that some won’t :32.960 --> :33.960
actually believe me. :33.960 --> :38.430
Honestly, it’s hard to believe at times
myself due to the pure hate this woman has :38.430 --> :39.430 for me.
:39.430 --> :42.040
My (28f) parents have always been my mom (stepmother) and dad.
:42.040 --> :47.720 They didn’t tell me about let’s say Karen
(not her real name) being my birthmother. :47.720 --> :53.060
(she left my dad and I for another man) Honestly,
after everything happened— I know why. :53.060 --> :54.060
My birthmother is a horrible, lying manipulator. :54.060 --> :55.850
My mom tried to adopt me so that I wouldn’t
get caught up in this senseless feud but she :55.850 --> :01.510
refused to give over parental rights (even
though she left when I was 5 months old and :01.510 --> :02.780
didn’t dare try to contact me.) :02.780 --> :04.190
My 18th birthday rolls around and I get this message from her.
:04.190 --> :05.190 I didn’t know who it was and I asked my parents.
:05.190 --> :08.550 After a heated argument, they told me and
I ended up being allowed to go meet her in :08.550 --> :09.720
a totally different state. :09.720 --> :14.390
I got to meet her and my two youngest sisters,
unfortunately my eldest two sisters couldn’t :14.390 --> :15.390 come.
:15.390 --> :19.079 The first thing she said upon meeting me was
“you look like your grandma, I hated her.” :19.079 --> :21.680
That started off a roller coast of 6 years. :21.680 --> :26.230
I found out that she told everyone I died when I was a baby.
:26.230 --> :30.360 That she told my sisters some pretty horrible
things that weren’t true about my character. :30.360 --> :33.150
Convinced my great grandma who had Alzheimer’s that I stole money from her.
:33.150 --> :39.079 She also went as far as claiming she never
wanted me and I shouldn’t have existed. :39.079 --> :44.540
When I visited, it was like she didn’t want
me there even though she was the one who demanded :44.540 --> :45.880
I come over to them. :45.880 --> :50.089
There’s so many more things she did, (a
huge one was stealing things that were meant :50.089 --> :52.400
for me that my late uncle left for me). :52.400 --> :58.060
Well, I decided that I’d pray for her and
just hope she’d find happiness in her life :58.060 --> :03.670
so that she didn’t do this anymore, I blocked
her from my Facebook (I don’t have a Facebook :03.670 --> :04.670
anymore), everything. :04.670 --> :06.240
She didn’t exist anymore in my book. :06.240 --> :10.870
Jump forward to last year, I’ve been working
on writing this novel for the longest time :10.870 --> :15.580
(fantasy novel I’ve been planning out for
now over a decade) and I’m finally making :15.580 --> :17.160
good progress on it. :17.160 --> :21.040
I do talk to some of the elders in the family
(that side is a huge arab Greek Orthodox family :21.040 --> :25.770
hell bent on keeping the family together and
they accepted me and wanted me around) and :25.770 --> :30.430
a few cousins who I thought didn’t talk
to her (the elders do have her on Facebook :30.430 --> :34.810
but they don’t really talk to her and have
made a promise they won’t tell her about :34.810 --> :35.810 me).
:35.810 --> :41.010 Anyways, My cousin told her that I was writing
a book and that I was dead set on either sending :41.010 --> :43.990
it into publishers or publishing it myself by the end of 2022.
:43.990 --> :44.990 She said “Oh really? :44.990 --> :45.990
That’s interesting.” :45.990 --> :49.710
My cousin who’s never actually thought shit
through told Karen thinking it wouldn’t :49.710 --> :50.710
harm anything. :50.710 --> :59.930
He came to me and said that he may have made
a mistake and to be careful about responding :59.930 --> :00.930
to her. :00.930 --> :07.330 The next day I received a message from my
sister that I should unblock Karen because :07.330 --> :08.330
something bad happened. :08.330 --> :10.400
Not really connecting the two I unblocked her. :10.400 --> :14.310
She messaged me stating “Well, since you stole grandma’s money I’m going to sue
:14.310 --> :16.830 you for every penny you get from that book.”
:16.830 --> :18.880 “Karen, you do need proof about that accusation.
:18.880 --> :24.740 I didn’t steal anything, to be honest, I
don’t know where you got the idea from but :24.740 --> :26.510
I wouldn’t do that. :26.510 --> :29.160
I was taught better than that.” :29.160 --> :33.010
“YES YOU DID AND I WILL MAKE SURE TO GET THAT BACK!”
:33.010 --> :34.060 “Karen, she’s passed away.
:34.060 --> :38.589 I have nothing to do with great grandma’s
missing money if there is any. :38.589 --> :44.740
Plus how will you sue me for a book I’ve
yet to publish that’ll be under a pseudonym :44.740 --> :45.740
anyways? :45.740 --> :47.660 Are you going to just randomly sue me?
:47.660 --> :52.199 I’m unsure where you think I have the money
seeing as how I’m on disability? :52.199 --> :57.500
I mean, why don’t you use the money you
stole from my trust fund grandpa set up for :57.500 --> :58.500 me?”
:58.500 --> :05.029 “I have proof that you’re a liar and a cheat!
:05.029 --> :06.329 You’re not disabled! :06.329 --> :08.480
Plus I have no idea what you’re talking about with the trust fund?
:08.480 --> :12.160 🤷♀️” “grandpa told dad and uncle
Danny about the fact grandpa set aside one :12.160 --> :15.959
for each of us and made YOU the beneficiary in our stead.”
:15.959 --> :16.959 “That’s a lie!” :16.959 --> :18.800
“You know, I’ve left you alone. :18.800 --> :20.699
According to you, I don’t exist. :20.699 --> :25.310
I never tried to use you on my college applications,
I never included you in my memorable moments :25.310 --> :27.540
because you demanded I act like you don’t exist. :27.540 --> :31.400
So you can take my trust fund and your fake memories, and go away.
:31.400 --> :32.750 You’ll never see a dime.”
:32.750 --> :34.370 “YOU OWE ME IM YOUR MOTHER!”
:34.370 --> :38.150 “ “you should have been a***ted, it’s
not like you have anyone who really wants :38.150 --> :39.150 you.”
:39.150 --> :40.150 “ “what?” :40.150 --> :42.740
“ “You were never my daughter nor were
you my friend until you realize that, don’t :42.740 --> :43.740
talk to me.”” :43.740 --> :44.740 “I don’t understand?”
:44.740 --> :46.010 “You told me these things.
:46.010 --> :47.730 You’re right, you’re not my mother.
:47.730 --> :48.829 So, good bye.” :48.829 --> :54.399
Ya I haven’t heard from Karen since so maybe
that taught her, I dunno, I just feel bad :54.399 --> :58.660
she has this much hate for someone who’s her flesh and bones.
:58.660 --> :03.910 🤷♀️ guess you shouldn’t have kicked
away your kid who loooves to write, that may :03.910 --> :09.899
be your downfall.😏 like I tell my friends,
“Your words and actions can and will be :09.899 --> :13.989
used in one of my books and it may not be to glorify you.”
:13.989 --> :17.610 I am sorry in advance this is my first time
posting. :17.610 --> :22.319 My MIL and I don’t get along, I’ve tried
for the sake of my husband but this last incident :22.319 --> :24.720
was the end of the line for me. :24.720 --> :29.720
My MIL has always had this overprotective
aspect about her when it came to her kids :29.720 --> :31.940
which has significantly grown worse with time. :31.940 --> :35.799
Her reasoning behind this behavior is because
she felt her mother always took the side of :35.799 --> :40.320
her SO and so she vowed to only care about her children and not their partners.
:40.320 --> :44.679 That didn’t bother me initially, I figured
if I was on her good side nothing to really :44.679 --> :45.679
worry about. :45.679 --> :48.429
Until you realize, this woman doesn’t have a “good side”.
:48.429 --> :51.869 She would say rude comments to all of her
children’s SO. :51.869 --> :56.840
She would always gossip about my SIL’s bf,
saying he was a drunk and always took her :56.840 --> :57.840
daughters money. :57.840 --> :02.760
Even though her daughter didn’t have a job
and the bf would be the one paying for the :02.760 --> :06.629
apartment her daughter lived in and all of her clothes and food.
:06.629 --> :10.389 She hated my BIL’s now ex gf because she
was Chinese… :10.389 --> :15.840
She would state things like she’s “dirty and gross” and wait for it… “gave me
:15.840 --> :16.840 the coronavirus”. :16.840 --> :23.259
I have no doubt in my mind that my MIL is
part of the reason why they ended up breaking. :23.259 --> :27.830
I never once saw my BIL stand up to his mom
regarding any rude comments she ever said :27.830 --> :28.830
about his gf. :28.830 --> :32.110
He would simply turn away and ask everyone else to handle her, like really dude?
:32.110 --> :36.929 I never understood her thought process because
the things that she would come up with would :36.929 --> :37.929
be outright delusional. :37.929 --> :43.509
It was only a matter one time before that
crazy would make its way towards me and boy :43.509 --> :44.509
did it! :44.509 --> :49.140 When we were at her house she blew up one
night because I wasn’t doing anything. :49.140 --> :52.899
I didn’t help clean up or anything but neither did anyone else?!?
:52.899 --> :57.559 Apparently I needed to clean off the dinner
table and wash the dishes for 7 people while :57.559 --> :58.559
at her house. :58.559 --> :04.399
Even my BIL agreed, even though he will literally
sit on his phone the entire time while everyone :04.399 --> :06.350
else does prep work or cleans. :06.350 --> :10.950
So the next night I did it, even though my
husband protested against it because I was :10.950 --> :12.830
a “guest” at her house. :12.830 --> :18.840
She would be in these weird moods where she
wouldn’t even acknowledge me when we came :18.840 --> :23.610
over, she just went straight to hugging my
husband and saying how much she missed him :23.610 --> :25.549
while giving me a “who’s this bitch” look. :25.549 --> :29.929
My husband would sometimes force me to initiate
to hello and hug but it came to the point :29.929 --> :32.919
where it was like why should I when she doesn’t like me?
:32.919 --> :37.950 It started to get worse when I did something,
even while at my own home mind you, she would :37.950 --> :42.150
flip out and start yelling and all of them would need to calm her down.
:42.150 --> :48.129 When she would be at our house she apparently
would expect to be treated with the utmost :48.129 --> :49.129
respect. :49.129 --> :51.370
Which is where my petty ass came back with a NO. :51.370 --> :01.559
You do not get to be disrespectful or callous to me in my own home.
:01.559 --> :07.879 The icing on the cake is when my mom was with
us and we stopped by to say goodbye before :07.879 --> :08.879
heading out. :08.879 --> :12.740
She was talking to my mom asking my mother
all of these weird questions about her name :12.740 --> :13.740
and everything. :13.740 --> :18.149
She took pictures with my mom and then she looked at me and then snapped.
:18.149 --> :21.940 She started going off about how I’m the
reason her family has so many problems, she’s :21.940 --> :24.289
been through hell because she hasn’t been able to see her son for so long.
:24.289 --> :25.559 I was in utter shock.
:25.559 --> :30.099 I didn’t know what to say, I was simply
looking at my husband like wtf is going on?! :30.099 --> :34.619
Then she gets up in my mother’s face asking
her a bunch of questions about why we got :34.619 --> :35.619 married.
:35.619 --> :37.509 Telling my mom that I take money from them
and my husband. :37.509 --> :41.220
That she she’s me take away money from my husband and that I’m a bad person.
:41.220 --> :45.749 My mother didn’t say a damn word but my
heart sank when she started to cry… because :45.749 --> :49.619
my mom had gone through hell and back with
an evil, vindictive MIL for her 35 years of :49.619 --> :51.289
marriage to my dad. :51.289 --> :59.299
My husband defended me and my mom, even with
my MIL screaming at me that she was going :59.299 --> :02.940
to call the police on me and put me in jail. :02.940 --> :06.100
He tried to talk to his mom about her behavior
and that it was unacceptable but she refuses :06.100 --> :07.919
to apologize and believes she did no wrong. :07.919 --> :12.009
Her whole reasoning for snapping like that
it because her friend told her that women :12.009 --> :15.970
will sometimes marry men and have them kidnapped
and killed to take their benefits. :15.970 --> :19.489
She does not think my mother is my real mom
and that she is helping me in the process :19.489 --> :20.489
of “killing my husband”. :20.489 --> :31.869
At this point I am convinced my MIL belongs in a mental institution.
:31.869 --> :44.309 My BIL and SIL believe that my MIL did no
wrong and that she had every right to behave :44.309 --> :45.309
that way. :45.309 --> :55.840
They keep telling my husband that this is
your family and that he should put them first :55.840 --> :56.840
before me. :56.840 --> :03.899
I told my husband that because of how disrespectful
she was, I do not want her at our house anymore. :03.899 --> :20.349
If he would like to go spend time with his
family he can freely do so by going to visit :20.349 --> :21.349 them.
:21.349 --> :25.730 Is it wrong of me for being tired of being
treated like I’m disposable to my in-laws? :25.730 --> :27.350
For asking for something as simple as common decency?
:27.350 --> :48.870 I have never acted out or caused a scene in
front of them, I have done so much for these :48.870 --> :51.559
people and they don’t see it. :51.559 --> :56.669
Till this day I’m still excluded from the
“family” circle because I refuse to stand :56.669 --> :00.830
for this when behavior is rude and condescending. :00.830 --> :10.789
I don’t know if this is the right subReddit
but this is the best place I can think to :10.789 --> :11.789 post.
:11.789 --> :25.840 So I (16f) was walking at a park near my house.
:25.840 --> :34.460 Since it was finally starting to warm up I
decided to wear a skirt for the first time :34.460 --> :35.519
since like October. :35.519 --> :41.149
So I passed the playground and as I was walking
away I hear someone running up behind me, :41.149 --> :59.379
as I’m walking out of the corner of my eye
I see two hands grab the sides of my skirt :59.379 --> :04.590
and lift it completely exposing my panties. :04.590 --> :11.969
As soon as this happens I turn around and
without hesitation backhand the person holding :11.969 --> :12.969
my skirt. :12.969 --> :18.659
Then I realize that it was some kid who looked to be 10 or 11.
:18.659 --> :21.610 He looked pretty shocked that I slapped him.
:21.610 --> :29.009 But before I could ask him “what the hell”
this kid's mom who we’ll call Karen comes :29.009 --> :35.849
running out of nowhere and slaps me across the face and starts yelling at me.
:35.849 --> :41.179 The conversation went like this Karen-“HOW
DARE YOU!” :41.179 --> :48.279 Me-“ow what the hell” Karen-“ don’t
you ever dare touch my baby” Me-“ how :48.279 --> :11.309
bout you teach your “baby” to not be a perv” Karen (slaps me again) “don’t
:11.309 --> :30.200 you ever talk to me or my son like that, he’s
just being curious, boys will be boys” Me-“ow :30.200 --> :49.750
it’s not being curious it’s sexual assault”
Karen-“ maybe if you weren’t dressed like :49.750 --> :31.539
a slut (I just wearing a skirt that was one
hand above my knee and a t-shirt) he wouldn’t :31.539 --> :56.749
get so curious” Me-“ maybe if you taught
your crotch goblin how to respect women he :56.749 --> :09.500
wouldn’t be looking up skirts” Karen-“
where are your parents I doubt they let you :09.500 --> :50.679
leave the house looking like :50.679 --> :11.469
a slut” Me-“ yeah I think that’s what
my parents would get mad about, the way I’m :11.469 --> :26.139
dressed and not that your son lifted my skirt” :26.139 --> :53.809
With that Karen got her son and left saying
“ let’s leave we don’t talk to whores :53.809 --> :10.019
like her” and so I flipped her off as we both walked away.
:10.019 --> :26.399 I wish there was a more satisfying ending
to this but unfortunately, that's just how :26.399 --> :27.260

:00.160 --> :04.880
would you be the jerk for telling your own dad
to freak off and dragging his stepdaughter into
:04.880 --> :09.720
it we'll get into that in a bit but first am I the
jerk for telling my dad's husband I don't want him
:09.720 --> :15.760
to adopt me and his bringing up my dead father
is not winning me over I 16-year-old male have
:15.760 --> :22.200
two dads one died before I was born Daddy he was
my non- biofa and his best friend was my parent
:22.200 --> :29.200
surrogate she's my auntie Giga my dad is my biop
parent and my daddy's widower and yeah I say Dad
:29.200 --> :35.360
and Daddy and still say Daddy as a 16-year-old
guy dad always refer to Daddy as Daddy to me so
:35.360 --> :41.360
I use it a month before I was born daddy died my
dad changed completely that day because of where
:41.360 --> :46.880
we live even back then my daddy was still able
to be recognized on my birth certificate it was
:46.880 --> :52.760
a fight and involved the courts but it happened it
was really uncommon back then but he won the case
:52.760 --> :58.560
thanks to Auntie Giga and other family members
recognizing My Two Dads I grew up always knowing
:58.560 --> :03.760
about daddy and I always cherish the connection to
him I was always glad my dad won the right for the
:03.760 --> :09.840
both of them to be legally my parents I was also
always treated like their son Not Just Dads or not
:09.840 --> :15.720
dads and aunti gigas when I was four my Dad tried
to date again and he met Sam they dated for about
:15.720 --> :20.840 3 months but Dad wasn't ready and Sam didn't
like what he saw he felt jealous and insecure
:20.840 --> :25.400
that he wasn't being brought in as another dad
for me they reconnected when I was eight and got
:25.400 --> :31.400
married when I was 12 my relationship with Sam is
complicated and weird and he wants to adopt me but
:31.400 --> :36.840
I don't want him to be my dad I don't want to be
adopted by him or to have him take care of me if
:36.840 --> :42.040
I become an orphan he has always made it a point
to bring up the fact daddy wasn't my BofA in the
:42.040 --> :48.480
first place and how legally it was a miracle he's
even on my birth certificate I hate it it feels so
:48.480 --> :54.200
gross he has told me at least I'll know him while
daddy is someone who's just saintly in my mind
:54.200 --> :59.040
because I wasn't allowed to process only having
one parent even though I know I was raised by
:59.040 --> :04.760
one parent but I still had two he just wasn't here
but I read the book he was putting together for me
:04.760 --> :10.840
he documented a lot of the parenting journey and
surrogacy stuff and the pregnancy until his death
:10.840 --> :17.240
he was so excited he loved me so much he wanted
me so badly on Father's Day we had a big fight
:17.240 --> :22.520
over adoption dad was out and Sam brought up the
adoption to me he told me he's tired of feeling
:22.520 --> :28.200
like an outsider because I always treat him like
dad's spouse instead of my stepdad or my parent I
:28.200 --> :32.920
told him because that's what he is and he has to
learn to accept that I told him nothing changed
:32.920 --> :38.560
for me he told me it's stupid because I love one
stepdad so much more I told him daddy is more
:38.560 --> :43.720
than just a stepdad and then I told him I don't
want him to adopt me ever and bringing up daddy
:43.720 --> :49.480
isn't winning me over I told him if anything he's
making me wish dad had found someone better dad
:49.480 --> :54.080
doesn't know what happened but things have been
tense since and Sam said I went too far am I the
:54.080 --> :58.880 jerk I think as long as op's Dad is actually
going to be on the same page as them if they
:58.880 --> :04.160
tell them it's pretty important for everybody to
be on the same page so that hopefully this whole
:04.160 --> :08.920
thing can be addressed and handled maybe they
can salvage this and try to work with this with
:08.920 --> :14.680
their partner before even engaging with them is
a complete non-starter for op ready replacement
:14.680 --> :19.480
181 wrote you need to talk to your dad and tell
him everything does your dad know what Sam is
:19.480 --> :24.480
doing Sam has no right to try to erase your daddy
regardless if you met him or not he still is and
:24.480 --> :29.800
always will be your daddy you're not the jerk
Sam however is the jerk Opie responded saying
:29.800 --> :34.560
saying dad doesn't know I always knew this would
be the end of their marriage if he knew I want
:34.560 --> :40.160
my dad to be happy so I kept quiet but I guess
that's not such a great idea anymore especially
:40.160 --> :45.520
if it comes out in a more explosive way eventually
also hi I'm Steven and if you guys enjoy getting
:45.520 --> :49.840 to decide whether or not all of these people
are jerks why not hit those like And subscribe
:49.840 --> :55.440
buttons down below that said our next story is am
I the jerk for wearing an American flag Speedo to
:55.440 --> :02.160
a pool party and embarrassing my girlfriend my
girlfriend 27y old female and I 28-year-old male
:02.160 --> :07.480
have been together for about 18 months we don't
fight often but our biggest fight came earlier
:07.480 --> :11.880
this year when I questioned what she wanted to
wear to a groom's dinner at my friend's wedding
:11.880 --> :16.360
I was in the wedding party and we had spent the
entire day setting things up for the wedding the
:16.360 --> :21.400
groom's dinner was that night and was going to be
a very casual affair since everyone was sweaty and
:21.400 --> :26.160
tired from working all day my girlfriend arrived
later in the day and asked me if I could meet her
:26.160 --> :32.120
at our hotel so she could change when we got to
the hotel she put on a pretty fancy dress kind
:32.120 --> :36.480 of like a cocktail dress that she would wear
to a club I told her that the groom's dinner
:36.480 --> :41.080
was going to be casual since everyone had worked
all day and people weren't going to be dressing
:41.080 --> :45.800
up she scolded me and told me that I don't get
to tell her what to wear she said she'll give
:45.800 --> :52.080
me a pass that one time but I should never again
criticize or question what she wants to wear I
:52.080 --> :58.280
dropped it but when we got to the dinner and she
saw how overdressed she was she got embarrassed
:58.280 --> :03.400
even though people commented on good she looked
this past weekend we were invited to a pool party
:03.400 --> :08.560
at my girlfriend's friend's house since it was
close to the 4th of July I decided to break out
:08.560 --> :14.280
my American flag Speedo that I got in college as
a joke I was trying it on before we left to make
:14.280 --> :20.440
sure it still fit okay and my girlfriend saw me
she asked me what I was wearing and told me that
:20.440 --> :26.840
I can't wear that I asked her why not and she told
me it's gross revealing and unattractive I told
:26.840 --> :31.320
her the same thing she told me at the wedding
that she doesn't get to tell me what to wear
:31.320 --> :36.760
she told me this is not the same situation at all
and I'm going to make a fool of myself I told her
:36.760 --> :41.720
that if I'm wearing this Speedo clearly I don't
take myself too seriously and that I'll bring a
:41.720 --> :46.800
spare swimsuit if she's going to make such a big
deal out of it when we got to the pool party I
:46.800 --> :51.680
took off my shorts to reveal the speedo and got a
few laughs from my girlfriend's friends I started
:51.680 --> :56.320
playing some pool volleyball with some of the
other guys there and just went about my day having
:56.320 --> :02.800
fun my girlfriend spent most of the day inside
by herself or with a few friends she barely came
:02.800 --> :07.920
out by the pool one of the few times she came out
she pulled me aside and asked me to please change
:07.920 --> :12.480
out of the speedo because I'm embarrassing her
I told her that she's the only one who's making
:12.480 --> :17.480
a big deal out of this and that if I'm in the
pool no one notices her cares anyway she went
:17.480 --> :22.880
back inside after that when we got home that night
she wouldn't talk to me so I gave her some space
:22.880 --> :27.600
she came to me a bit later and asked me if I was
going to apologize to her I told her I don't feel
:27.600 --> :33.920
like I have anything to apologize for and she told
me I embarrassed her all day even after she told
:33.920 --> :39.240
me to take off the speedo I told her she needs to
loosen up because she's making a big deal out of
:39.240 --> :44.440
a little fun joke but she thinks I'm the jerk I
mean it doesn't really sound like Opie and their
:44.440 --> :50.480
partner are all that on the same page here but
regardless Opie's not the jerk and Opie's right
:50.480 --> :55.800
and I would even argue in the first situation
Opie wasn't necessarily trying to control what
:55.800 --> :00.680
they wore they were just trying to heavily imply
that there's a dress code that other people are
:00.680 --> :07.000
conforming to that she is implicitly ignoring and
overdressing for not that op was standing there
:07.000 --> :13.480
going what are you wearing wear something else not
creative at all 16 wrote not the jerk you're right
:13.480 --> :17.640
she's trying to control what you wear you were
right to shut her down just like she did when
:17.640 --> :22.720
you try to stop her from going overdressed to an
event and we told to kick rocks she can't tell you
:22.720 --> :27.680
that you can't control her wardrobe and then turn
around and do exactly the same thing to you she
:27.680 --> :32.920
was also the one who was determined to have a bad
time because of your choice of clothing character
:32.920 --> :39.240
toe 2137 added and to be fair Opie wasn't trying
to control what she wore in the first incident
:39.240 --> :45.040
he provided her information so she can make an
informed choice and girlfriend overreacted our
:45.040 --> :50.480
next story is am I the jerk for telling my sister
there were consequences to not helping out our mom
:50.480 --> :55.800
so my mom and my sister live a state over around
a year ago my mom's home flooded and she needed a
:55.800 --> :01.440
place to stay until the insurance fixed it all my
sister lives near mom 30 minutes away and mom went
:01.440 --> :07.280
to her first for a place to stay she refused and
basically told her to kick rocks they had a good
:07.280 --> :12.200
relationship before this she won't even let mom
stay for a few days so one of us could pick her
:12.200 --> :18.480
up I drove 7 hours to pick Mom up and she stayed
with me for 2 months until her home was good the
:18.480 --> :24.520
family was ticked my sister and it resulted in a
discussion about how she never helps anyone out
:24.520 --> :28.960
everyone has experienced it at some point where
she didn't care enough to help out my biggest
:28.960 --> :34.440
example that pertains to me is when my car broke
down and my sister refused to pick me up so I had
:34.440 --> :40.480
to walk home and hitch a ride home this was before
Uber took off I got home and she was on the phone
:40.480 --> :46.880
dead scrolling everyone in the family has examples
we all decided to not help my sister anymore this
:46.880 --> :51.880
is the issue now she needs a place to stay since
she's moving to a new city and her lease on her
:51.880 --> :57.040
home ended so about a month to stay with someone
before she can move into her new apartment in the
:57.040 --> :02.680
city everyone has turned her down she called me
and asked if she could stay with me I told her no
:02.680 --> :07.520
and she started crying why the family won't help
her out I told her that there are consequences
:07.520 --> :12.720
to not helping out our mom when she needed it
she called me heartless and hung up I would
:12.720 --> :17.640
say wholeheartedly not the jerk and when it comes
to relationships I would easily say when one side
:17.640 --> :22.920
isn't putting in any effort it's understandable
why the whole relationship in general vanishes
:22.920 --> :27.800
disappears or there's no interest in helping you
out in return just like if you want to maintain
:27.800 --> :32.520
an active friendship or Rel relationship with
someone it can't just be one side always being
:32.520 --> :38.400
the one to reach out initiate Hangouts most times
it'll Fall by the wayside eventually not creative
:38.400 --> :44.560
at all 16 added not the jerk people who never
help anyone else out always stump me it takes
:44.560 --> :49.720 very little to be a decent human being your
sister let that title leave her long ago it
:49.720 --> :55.680
sounds like and then to be surprised when the
but where family argument doesn't work is funny
:55.680 --> :00.560
you can't refuse to help people every time they
ask but then put your surprise Pikachu face when
:00.560 --> :04.640
people won't help you when you need it I'm not
saying that in order for someone to help they
:04.640 --> :10.440
need to help out first I'm not that transactional
but in this case it sounds like this is a common
:10.440 --> :16.360
thing and her reasons for not helping out are
flimsy at best and in that case I wouldn't lift
:16.360 --> :22.080
a finger to help our next story is am I the jerk
for refusing to sleep on a pullout couch during
:22.080 --> :27.840
vacation I 28-year-old female planned a family
trip with my parents and my brother 25-year-old
:27.840 --> :33.000
male before I officially booked the Airbnb that we
would all be splitting the price on I sent each of
:33.000 --> :38.400
them the listing showing how many bedrooms what
accommodations Etc I made sure to double check
:38.400 --> :44.360
with my brother as the house is only two bedrooms
one room has two full-size beds the other a king
:44.360 --> :49.160
bed I asked if you would mind sharing a room with
me as three bedrooms in this area were harder
:49.160 --> :53.800
to find he said it was fine because we'd each
have our own bed and asked me to book it once
:53.800 --> :59.560
our parents signed off on it I booked it when we
arrive before we even have our first night's sleep
:59.560 --> :04.480
my brother declares he thinks he and I should
alternate sleeping on the pullout couch in the
:04.480 --> :10.000
living room I say I'm not going to do that if he
doesn't want to sleep in the room designated for
:10.000 --> :16.200
us that's fine but I'm not sleeping on a pull out
on vacation when there's two beds I asked why he
:16.200 --> :21.440
doesn't want to share a room and why this didn't
come up sooner he said we were adults and he was
:21.440 --> :27.160
too old to share a room I asked why he didn't
bring this up sooner he said he figured I'd agree
:27.160 --> :33.520
to the pullout situation I said he shouldn't have
assumed or at least had a conversation with me he
:33.520 --> :39.840
kept insisting and I said no if he wants to sleep
out there our whole vacation fine but I'm not
:39.840 --> :44.520
alternating when I paid for a bed him sleeping
on the pull out led to several conflicts with
:44.520 --> :48.640
our parents as he would get mad if they came into
the living room in the morning while he was still
:48.640 --> :54.760
sleeping but as they pointed out it's the living
room a public space if people wanted to hang out
:54.760 --> :00.280
in the living room at night he'd start bugging us
to go into our rooms so he could sleep as early as
:00.280 --> :05.960
8:00 p.m. we're on vacation we're going to stay
up a little later and hang out I always offer to
:05.960 --> :10.800
let him sleep in in the extra bed in the room
but he refused unless I promised that I would
:10.800 --> :16.680
sleep on the pole out that night which I didn't
do by the end of the 7-Day six night trip he was
:16.680 --> :22.000
irritated with all of us over this my parents and
I feel that he's the one who put himself in the
:22.000 --> :28.160
situation and that there was an alternative to him
sleeping on the couch but he chose not to however
:28.160 --> :32.560
my brother is in in that I should have swapped
with him am I the jerk for not sleeping on the
:32.560 --> :38.000
pole out Opie's obviously not the jerk here and
they're absolutely right all throughout this story
:38.000 --> :42.920
they should have spoken up if they had a problem
with it and also I just cannot avoid asking why
:42.920 --> :47.640
are they so against sharing that room with their
sibling it doesn't matter if you're an adult
:47.640 --> :52.560
there's two beds it's not even like you're sharing
the bed shoot me and my siblings are well adults I
:52.560 --> :57.720
wouldn't have a problem sharing the same bed like
what's the actual issue he can't even argue it's
:57.720 --> :01.880
like a privacy thing or that he wants to sleep
in the buff or something because he's sleeping
:01.880 --> :07.440
in the living room as an alternative Miss Finch
87 wrote not the jerk your brother was a jerk he
:07.440 --> :12.680
willingly agreed to the sleeping arrangements as
part of the booking process it was crucial to it
:12.680 --> :17.840
being booked that he withheld his alternative
plan of you two switching off on a Ral is just
:17.840 --> :23.320
plain weird given he had every chance to have
this conversation he was always welcomed to the
:23.320 --> :29.280
second bed as agreed but nonetheless he proceeds
to behave like a stroppy toddler about the whole
:29.280 --> :34.800
thing and about people utilizing the living room
he subsequently decided to sleep in he own gold
:34.800 --> :41.680
himself all the way with this one bitter position
740 added agree not only did the brother disrupt
:41.680 --> :46.560
the vacation sleeping Arrangements but he also
took over a common space meant for everyone to
:46.560 --> :50.920
share one of the perks of a common living space
is that it allows for people to have different
:50.920 --> :56.000
sleeping and waking times he doesn't have a right
to tell people they need to leave the common space
:56.000 --> :01.200
for him to sleep or avoid it when others wake
up first our next story is am I the jerk for
:01.200 --> :07.400
shrugging when my dad's wife told me they need all
of dad's money right now I 17-year-old male might
:07.400 --> :12.680
be the jerk and I might be a big one but I wanted
to get people's Insight so my dad left my mom when
:12.680 --> :18.080
I was 14 to be with his wife/ the woman he was
cheating on my mom with my dad didn't want me to
:18.080 --> :24.400
think badly of him but I did he knew I did and he
knew he couldn't change my mind easily we always
:24.400 --> :30.000
knew my parents would end up with shared custody
until I was 17 at least from experience the judges
:30.000 --> :35.880
and family court will only stop enforcing shared
custody when a kid turns 17 and speaks out any
:35.880 --> :41.000
younger and they insist on 50/50 I also knew Mom
would struggle on her own because while she did
:41.000 --> :46.760
work she never made as much as my dad she also
wouldn't get child support because of the 50/50
:46.760 --> :51.920
and it wasn't ordered even with the differences
in income so and Dad pleaded with me to give him
:51.920 --> :57.400
a chance to show he could still be a good dad and
said he would do anything for me I told him to
:57.400 --> :02.560
keep supporting mom and make sure she wasn't going
to end up struggling while he got off easy I told
:02.560 --> :08.520
him she deserved that at least after what he did
and that I deserved to see my mom as well my dad
:08.520 --> :13.840
agreed and he paid it as child support instead of
spousal support or whatever it's called it really
:13.840 --> :18.880
helped mom and she actually went back to school
so she could get a better job dad is still paying
:18.880 --> :23.640
that money he knows I appreciate him doing it
and he also knows it's one of the only reasons I
:23.640 --> :29.360
didn't just decide to say freak him and never want
a relationship again my mom is also less stressed
:29.360 --> :35.080
she has mixed feelings about my dad giving her
money when legally he doesn't need to but she also
:35.080 --> :40.000
knows this is the only way for me to not feel the
need to help support her where my dad's wife comes
:40.000 --> :46.200
into it is this she never liked that my Dad paid
this child support she never liked that I insisted
:46.200 --> :51.440
on it for my dad and I to have a relationship but
now my dad's house is struggling a bit and some
:51.440 --> :57.200
changes need to be made his wife son and daughter
were in dance football softball karate music
:57.200 --> :03.080
lessons and in art classes paid extracurriculars
my dad and his wife will also have a baby together
:03.080 --> :08.560
the wife's kids had to cut two activities because
they couldn't afford it anymore it upsets his wife
:08.560 --> :13.320
because if Dad wasn't paying the money they could
still afford those things she told me I should
:13.320 --> :19.440
stop obligating my dad to support mom because they
needed more and my mom isn't their problem I told
:19.440 --> :25.320
her she and her kids are not my problem she told
me they're my family while mom is not her or her
:25.320 --> :31.520
kids family or my dad's anymore I told her she and
her kids are dad's family but not mine she told
:31.520 --> :36.720
me they need all of dad's money right now before
more things need to be cut back on I Shrugged in
:36.720 --> :42.960
response she told me I was so callously flippant
and it wasn't a good luck to care so little about
:42.960 --> :50.080
my siblings lives only one of her kids the baby is
technically my half sibling am I the jerk I don't
:50.080 --> :55.160
blame op and I have respect for them for saying
you need to pay some kind of child support and if
:55.160 --> :00.920
not you're basically dead to me and bottom line
it's never like op said that the dad has to do
:00.920 --> :06.640
this he clearly wants to for the sake of keeping
that relationship op themselves has nothing to
:06.640 --> :13.080
argue about Z little 16 wrote absolutely not the
jerk dad didn't have to agree to pay your mom to
:13.080 --> :18.200
buy your acceptance and stepmom should have spoken
up then if it was a problem she probably did but
:18.200 --> :23.160
didn't push it so dad's conscience could be eased
stepmom is just paying the price for cheating
:23.160 --> :30.000
with a married man and dad is suffering for his
part too karma is a bench Opie responded saying
:30.000 --> :35.760
I think it's more likely she spoke up Dad did it
anyway and she was like freak it not going to end
:35.760 --> :40.480
things now when we come this far maybe she thought
it wouldn't last as long but I think there's a
:40.480 --> :46.400
reason she wants the request to stop to come from
me this next story is am I the jerk for telling my
:46.400 --> :52.200
dad to freak off and throwing his stepdaughter's
father in her face when I 25-year-old female was
:52.200 --> :58.560
10 my mom died when I was 12 my dad remarried
dad's wife has an 11-year-old daughter her dad
:58.560 --> :05.000
had a abandoned her dad went from being an okay
but not great dad to me to focusing so much on his
:05.000 --> :10.200
stepdaughter that there were times he forgot about
me after one incident where he literally left me
:10.200 --> :16.080
behind in a mall in another state he acted like
he felt so bad that he took me out as a sorry on
:16.080 --> :22.560
his stepdaughter's birthday from that day onward
she and I could not stand each other and we really
:22.560 --> :27.440
don't wish the other well we both want the other
to go away and we stay away from each other where
:27.440 --> :33.320
possible she told me hadn't deserved an apology
because she needed his attention and love more
:33.320 --> :38.640
than I did this happened twice more where Dad
would apologize and it would hurt his stepdaughter
:38.640 --> :44.120
but generally I got used to being the one he put
last I put distance between us after I left for
:44.120 --> :49.280
college and after a couple of years he realized
it was happening and he begged and pleaded with
:49.280 --> :54.200
me to try and forgive him I told him how much
it hurt for him to prioritize his stepdaughter
:54.200 --> :59.360
so much I brought up being left behind the fact
that he would promise me a certain gift and then
:59.360 --> :04.800
get it for his stepdaughter instead all the times
he took off work to support her and would miss all
:04.800 --> :10.280
of mine I told him how it made me feel and that
it made me not want him around after a while he
:10.280 --> :16.080
made a big effort to be there for me in the last
3 years especially and he was doing a lot better
:16.080 --> :21.320
he showed up a little more and took a more active
role again then during a lunch where he surprised
:21.320 --> :26.720
me by bringing his wife and stepdaughter we were
talking about my upcoming wedding and he asked me
:26.720 --> :31.960
to change the date because his stepdaughter wants
to book her wedding for this year and the only
:31.960 --> :37.280
date is the same as mine he told me I was willing
to get married next year so I could still change
:37.280 --> :43.360
it now and have time my wedding is scheduled for
December I asked what he was talking about his
:43.360 --> :48.240
stepdaughter said dad needs to be at her wedding
because he's giving her away and if I want him to
:48.240 --> :54.120
do the same which he already agreed to I need to
change or he'll be going to hers I asked Dad if
:54.120 --> :58.880
that was true and he said it doesn't have to be
I asked him if he would choose her wedding over
:58.880 --> :05.000
mine and he said yes so I told him to freak off
and forget about coming to my wedding then I
:05.000 --> :11.080
looked into his stepdaughter's stupid smug face
and told her to enjoy my dad since her own never
:11.080 --> :17.040
wanted her and never loved her but at least mine
had been good to me before her I also told him
:17.040 --> :22.000
that I hope my steps sister's dad came back and
she dumped him for the real one since he dumped
:22.000 --> :28.680
me for a fake dad texted me dozens of times after
the lunch saying I reacted too spitefully and his
:28.680 --> :34.160
stepdaughter did nothing wrong and I made her cry
in a cafe full of people so although I think what
:34.160 --> :40.800
op said was a very stinging thing to say I feel
like it was kind of just a massive truth bomb
:40.800 --> :47.120
and I don't blame op and I really don't think op
is the jerk it was really like a culmination of
:47.120 --> :53.640
years of frustration and being turned away and
put second or even lower than the stepdaughter
:53.640 --> :59.440
horsey girl wh wrote I'm really hoping this is a
fake post because I can't imagine that the only
:59.440 --> :04.200
date the stepdaughter could have picked had to be
the one day you picked for your wedding it sounds
:04.200 --> :09.520
like it's time to block your father if he chooses
his stepdaughter after this I'm so sorry your mom
:09.520 --> :14.960
died I'm a mom and I'm sending you virtual hugs
I hope your future in-laws will take you in and
:14.960 --> :21.160
love you like you deserve of course you're not the
jerk Opie responded saying it was so intentionally
:21.160 --> :25.920
done by her she had months to book if she was
that determined to get married this year she
:25.920 --> :30.960
just wanted to make this a choice again and he
chose she can keep him now and he should forget
:30.960 --> :36.920
I exist my future in-laws are super sweet and I
have my grandma who's the best and I'm seeing more
:36.920 --> :43.120
and more how amazing she is our next story is am
I the jerk for calling my sister-in-law annoying
:43.120 --> :48.440
and telling her I'm tired of hearing her joke
about me having a girl's name my wife and I have
:48.440 --> :53.960
been together since we were 19 and we're now 32
I met her family after we'd been together a year
:53.960 --> :59.120
sister-in-law was actually the first very first
time we met she blurted out that I have a a girl's
:59.120 --> :05.480
name sky and then proceeded to laugh about it
my wife told her to shut up and stop laughing it
:05.480 --> :11.160
didn't bother me at all back then I just laughed
and told her there are plenty of male Skies around
:11.160 --> :16.120
even my great-grandfather who I was partially
named after I was named after my great grandpa
:16.120 --> :22.760
Skyler who went by Sky his entire life and Sky
Masterson from Guys and Dolls so the first time
:22.760 --> :27.680
was no big deal some people have asked me before
if I felt like my name was a girl's name and not a
:27.680 --> :33.800
guy's name and I never minded sister-in-law joked
a lot about my name and our kids names when we
:33.800 --> :39.560
were expecting our babies it got a little annoying
but you know I was able to brush it off and my
:39.560 --> :44.200
wife would cut off her sister and would tell her
to leave if she went a little too far which only
:44.200 --> :49.000
happened once back then we didn't see her a lot
for a while but she got engaged last year and
:49.000 --> :54.960
was around more and seemed to have calmed down
a lot and now she's having her own baby a girl
:54.960 --> :00.880
and oh boy she really is testing my patience it
started with her husband asking what she thought
:00.880 --> :05.680
of the name sky for their daughter she joked that
they couldn't use the name because she didn't want
:05.680 --> :11.760
me to feel more like a girl than I already do my
wife told her to grow up and we left next time we
:11.760 --> :17.120 saw her they announced sky was the name they
decided to go with I said cool sister-in-law
:17.120 --> :21.920
said she was surprised I was okay with sharing my
name with a girl I told sister-in-law her daughter
:21.920 --> :27.360
wouldn't be the first and I wasn't insecure in my
masculinity and I saw no problem with sharing the
:27.360 --> :32.520
name girls or women next time we saw them it was
a joke about putting both skies in pretty pink
:32.520 --> :38.040
dresses when her daughter is born we stayed out of
her way for the rest of that visit then she joked
:38.040 --> :42.800
that I'd finally gotten embarrassed by my name
and was using my middle name because one of my
:42.800 --> :48.240
uncles who always called me by my middle name was
visiting and she heard him call me that more stuff
:48.240 --> :53.560
like that happened and then Saturday we were back
at my in-law's house for mother-in-law's birthday
:53.560 --> :57.880
and sister-in-law was joking with some of the
mother-in-law's siblings about my name and she
:57.880 --> :03.720
tried to invol involve me by calling me over to
tell her dumb jokes it finally got to me and I
:03.720 --> :09.760
asked her does she have to be so annoying I told
her how tiring it is to always hear her dumb jokes
:09.760 --> :15.960
which aren't even really jokes like she claims but
insults directed at me she called me sensitive and
:15.960 --> :21.960
I told her she's the person who hasn't given up
on my name in over a decade I told her everyone
:21.960 --> :27.840
gets it she sees sky as a girl's name but she's
not funny my wife told her that she was about to
:27.840 --> :33.080
become aom M and really needed to listen to us
and grow up we've told her to stop saying this
:33.080 --> :38.840
crap in the past too she always says she's just
joking am I the jerk Opie is not the jerk and I
:38.840 --> :44.080 think Opie had a pretty mature response but
yeah after so many years of hearing the same
:44.080 --> :49.600
thing how are you not going to get tired of it
and maybe to the sister-in-law it doesn't seem
:49.600 --> :55.160
like so much because it's spread out over so many
years but when your entire relationship over like
:55.160 --> :01.320
a decade of knowing this person anytime you see
them it's just haha girl's name the sister-in-law
:01.320 --> :06.800
needs to have the wherewithal to realize that
op's only conception of sister-in-law is the
:06.800 --> :12.200
person who relentlessly makes fun of their name
any chance they meet how cool of a sister-in-law
:12.200 --> :16.720
is that cake fool wrote not the jerk but you're
doing this wrong start going hard on that the
:16.720 --> :21.960
baby girl will have boy names and she's going to
be named after you when the kid's born make sure
:21.960 --> :28.920
everyone knows kid is named after you subjective
box added named after her uncle uncle uncle is
:28.920 --> :35.440
very proud for her to have his name very proud at
every corner bonus points for always referring to
:35.440 --> :42.640
sister-in-law as so Progressive for no reason but
as often as possible our next story is am I the
:42.640 --> :47.480
jerk for telling the bride I don't want to wear
the bridesmaid dress chosen for me I 40-year-old
:47.480 --> :53.080
female was invited to be a bridesmaid for my good
friend who I'll call Beth 32-year-old female we've
:53.080 --> :58.720
been friends for almost 8 years after we met at a
support group I happily agree to be Beth's bride's
:58.720 --> :04.400
and I assumed I'd be one of many however Beth told
me her friend just had a baby and her other friend
:04.400 --> :10.720
will be having gallbladder surgery at that time so
it'll only be me her three younger sisters and her
:10.720 --> :18.560
sister-in-law I was okay with this at first until
I actually saw them they look very very young
:18.560 --> :25.440
they're all between 19 to 28 and they're extremely
slim I look much older than all of them that made
:25.440 --> :30.560
me feel pretty uncomfortable on top of that she
allowed her sisters to choose the dress because
:30.560 --> :35.560
I wasn't able to go with them to the appointment
as it was too early for me the girls chose this
:35.560 --> :42.520
sexy silky satin dress that looks very very tight
on their bodies which on them looks fantastic as
:42.520 --> :48.120 they're young with younger bodies but on me
it will look terrible I just know it will I
:48.120 --> :52.280
was very nice and told my friend that I'd like
to choose a dress that would be more flattering
:52.280 --> :58.560 to my body type as I'm older and bigger than
her sisters it'll be the same color and fabric
:58.560 --> :03.480
just something that I want my friend was annoyed
and said her sisters chose the dress themselves
:03.480 --> :08.520
and already purchased it it's done we went back
and forth for several hours I was trying to make
:08.520 --> :13.760
her understand my point I will be the oldest one
there everyone's going to look at me and compare
:13.760 --> :19.480
me to her younger Slimmer sisters I don't want
that kind of attention my friend was irritated
:19.480 --> :24.600 and said that her fiance is also in his 40s
and his five groomsmen are between 40 to 50
:24.600 --> :31.360
years of age on top of that her sister-in-law
is actually 47 she just looks good for her age
:31.360 --> :38.080
that made me feel even worse she goes everyone
is different ages and sizes and I need to let
:38.080 --> :43.120
it go I thought we were making some Headway and
she was going to let me choose a different dress
:43.120 --> :48.040 until she left a nasty voicemail early this
morning she told me to get the dress or I
:48.040 --> :53.760
can't be part of it anymore I'm adding too much
stress to her wedding over stupid insecurities
:53.760 --> :58.480
and that her family isn't there to see me or to
see what I'm wearing or how I fit into the dress
:58.480 --> :03.840
they're there for her and her husband so either
I show up as a bridesmaid in the dress or I show
:03.840 --> :08.160 up as a guest and if I don't get with the
program she'll have her family member take
:08.160 --> :14.320 my place I feel she could have said it nicer
than she did she was very nasty towards me I
:14.320 --> :19.400
also feel she's not being sensitive I decided to
remove myself as a bridesmaid since she won't be
:19.400 --> :25.440 flexible but my husband said I was very rude
am I the jerk like I get it op obviously is
:25.440 --> :30.400
very self-conscious they don't want to stand out
they don't want to be perceived negatively I get
:30.400 --> :36.160 it but at the end of the day this is kind of
op's major insecurity and it's not really fair
:36.160 --> :42.120
to the bride for you to try to manipulate their
wedding and the bridesmaid situation because you
:42.120 --> :48.320
have these insecurities I suppose my question for
op is say they get the dress they show up they be
:48.320 --> :52.280
the bridesmaid do they really think at the end of
the day when everybody goes home they're going to
:52.280 --> :58.280
be saying you know that one bridesmaid was so
much more X so much more X than all the other
:58.280 --> :02.560 Slimmer younger bridesmaids or do you think
they're going to be more fixated on oh that
:02.560 --> :08.000
was such a beautiful wedding oh I hope they're so
happy together I'm thinking it's more the ladder
:08.000 --> :14.320
and honestly if this isn't something op can get
over for the bride's sake drop out but with that
:14.320 --> :19.520
being said that's all the time we have for today
now if you want to hear another absolutely crazy
:19.520 --> :24.680
am I the jerk here story check out that video on
the left or if you missed my latest video check

see you all next time with some more stories | give me a good story on rAITAAMITOOFATTOBEABRIDESMAIDRedditStories |

aita for losing it over fiance not using car seat for 4-year-old I was at work
and was supposed to pick up our four-year-old from school in about 10
minutes I checked my phone and saw a text from 30 minutes before asking if he
had 30 SM should pick her up early and then from a few minutes before saying
they were home this would usually be a non-issue except I used the car seat
from his car to travel last weekend and he still hasn't reinstalled it I texted
asking what car seat he used as he had a key to my car that has a car seat
installed and is in my trunk which was at my work about a 5-minute drive from
our kids school he never responded my stomach sank for context 2 years ago
when kid was two he drove them to care while she was seated in the front seat
in a lap belt his explanation was they were running late for daycare I lost it
I yelled and cried and told him I would leave him if he ever did it again that
he was willing to put our kid at risk for his convenience and it eroded my
trust in him I talked about the life altering injuries or death he was
willing to put her at risk for to save a
few minutes he seemed to get it and said he wouldn't do it again I told him I
would leave him if he did his rational yesterday was that he didn't remember he
didn't have her car seat until after they got to the car and he didn't call
me to come because I hadn't answered my earlier text so I must have been busy he
didn't want to bring her back into school so he could leave and get the car
seat because he knew | give me a good story on AITAHforlosingitoverfiancenotusingcarseatforyearold |

welcome friends to another r slash malicious compliance video if you're not
a malicious soul make sure to hit those like and subscribe buttons down below
that said our first story of the day is by lex not luther denied work from home
for one day but got three days on sick leave happen over the december holiday
season when i took a week off to celebrate christmas with family but
unfortunately got a severe fever with a cold test a negative several times over
for covet so my holiday week was spent late up in bed and or the couch watching
netflix drinking soup and sleeping all socializing was canceled i work at a
clinic so just to be safe i decided to err on the side of caution and take a
work from home following the weekend i wasn't actively having a fever but i had
a terrible cough that would leave me hacking up phlegm every hour i could do
my work on a computer and it didn't require me to physically be at the
clinic my company does not allow for self-reporting sick leave i know but
we'll let you work from home if you need another day and aren't required to be
around i called my immediate supervisor a new joinee on friday morning to
request the monday as work from home she told me that she does not believe in
work from home and needs a doctor sir to approve my day off and nothing else
mattered come back on tuesday with a sick search she said alrighty then i
went to a doctor on sunday who said i wasn't well enough to go into work and
proceeded to give me the next three days
off i read a polite email with the sixer
attached to hr and the supervisor when i went back to work on thursday she was
visibly unhappy and did not speak to me at all you can bet i was smiling all day
the best part is i spent those three days outside in the sun and relaxing at
a secluded beach just enough to make up for not being able to have a cozy
christmas if you were trying to get a day off when you were actually sick
would you go to the doctor and ham it up maybe a little bit just to try to get
some extra time off let me know in the comments down below our next story is by
green eyed wolfus shall we call a medium when i first enrolled in community
college financial aid required tax information from both of my parents
because i was under 25 i gave them my mother's enlisted my father as deceased
two weeks go by i get a call we need your father's tax return this time i
gave them a copy of his death certificate rinse and repeat four times
the last time they said they would cancel my classes i made my way to the
financial aid office requested a supervisor and said quite loudly that
sleazeball kicked the bucket 15 years ago if he's paying taxes somewhere i
want to know we have a few things to talk about funny no one asked for his
tax information ever again this is a royal screw-up by this office imagine
being so bad that somebody gives you five opportunities to write down and
register that some relative is deceased and they missed it every single time
until op goes there and literally says they died 15 years ago stop asking this
next story is by voodoo 285 force clocking in leads to malicious
compliance i started at a company and they didn't have clocking in machines
people would show up quite irregularly a couple of minutes late not through
reckless abandon but simply because traffic in the area was hugely
unpredictable plus the car park was really far away and it takes time
depending where you park to get into the office everyone was okay with this
because they also would happily work considerably more than the three minutes
they were late by working while eating lunch or by staying after five or a
combination anyway the hr guy decided he had something to prove and got a
clocking in machine he would then issue warnings on an escalating procedure from
verbal to formal written to worse when people started to realize this was the
case they all just started fully working to rule 8 30 a.m clock in exact 45
minutes for lunch always away from the desk and at 5 p.m you betcha there was a
full-on rush to clock out there'd occasionally be a queue to clock out at
five by 505 pm the place was an absolute ghost town apart from the sad act
director and hr knobber that implemented the system they must have felt really
smug with themselves that they stopped people being late they also must have
lost an absolute fortune through lost productivity and a few good people hated
it so they left what's great is nobody actually sent a memo out like hey let's
work to rule it was just this unconscious thing after the first
disciplinaries governments should study these people as it would be amazing
population control if they could bottle it and put it in the water it's no
surprise that being really uptight about when and how people work makes them not
want to bend over backwards for you in any situation this next story is by
visual suggestion 487 i did exactly what my nurse manager asked me and it caused
her trouble alright i never thought i would have to make this post but here we
go i used to work as a patient monitor at a hospital during the pandemic my
role was to take care of mostly psychiatric patients for example monitor
them talk to them chart it etc we're told to always stay one-to-one with
patients until someone relieves us and exchange reports before we leave one day
i got assigned to take care of a psychiatric patient and a specific wing
of the hospital who happens to also have covet 19. no surprise here i'm trained
on how to handle this for some annoying and unintuitive reason the hospital
nursing office has this thing where if there's a patient monitor watching a
covid patient then every two hours they must switch with another patient monitor
who would watch a non-covet patient wouldn't that expose more people
whatever so this meant that i would have
to switch after my first two hours of my shift with another patient monitor who
happens to be in the emergency room i'd also like to add that my first patient
was very aggressive and worked up as he wanted to go home i was a bit on the
nervous side because he punched the wall and kept jumping out of frustration
after an hour and 45 minutes i had to push the panic alarm which calls
security since he was being so restless since it was almost time for me to leave
the nurse told me to step outside of the
room and he'll stay with him as security talks to the patient eventually we were
able to fulfill the patient's request and start discharge papers now i'm not
sure how many of you know this but discharge paperwork takes a bit of time
maybe an hour or two depending on how busy the staff are but anyways since it
was two hours in for me it was time to switch with the other patient monitor as
protocol like i mentioned earlier when i went to the er where the other patient
was located i warned the other patient monitor about the aggressive patient and
that she should be very careful another two hours pass by and i have to switch
again with this patient monitor but someone has to watch this er patient
till i go and switch so i kindly ask this patient's nurse to watch him until
the other patient monitor comes back this is where things go downhill fast i
had just gone to that wing of the hospital where i was taking care of the
first patient and i still see the aggressive patient being so restless and
wanting to go home the paramedics came to take him on a stretcher hospital bed
that can be easily moved around to take him to the ambulance and take him home
when i was walking to this patient's room his nurse tells me that he is not a
one-on-one anymore which makes sense he's going home but i still had the er
patience report on my hand to give to the other patient monitor so i still
stopped by and give it to her at this point the patient monitor was not
responsible for this patient as of this point and neither was i the other
patient monitor was supposed to leave this patient and go back to her other
patient in the er because of that i just went back to the nursing office to see
if there was a new assignment i do get a new assignment and i'm with a new
patient five minutes in the nursing office calls and needs me downstairs
immediately when i get there they ask me didn't you say that the patient was
leaving and got downgraded i say yes and
that the other patient monitor should be back to her original patient in the er
but they tell me that she isn't at this point the nurse from the er is asking
where the other patient monitor is the nursing officer tried calling her and no
answer i was told to go back to the er patient until the other patient monitor
returns and i comply after 15 to 20 minutes with being with the patient in
the er the other patient monitor returns and i asked her what happened and she
told me that she was just staying with aggressive patient till they left i told
her she was supposed to be here with her
original patient and that either way she way past her two hours with this covid
patient but now the nursing office wanted me with the er patient for the
rest of the shift and to see the nurse manager after my shift i was so fed up
at this point the other patient monitor went back to the nursing office and went
to a new patient fast forward till after my shift was over the nurse manager
wanted to speak to me and the other patient monitor because of that wild
confusion and how we left the er patient alone for 5 or 10 minutes we both
explain our sides of what happened and that nurse manager thinks that it was my
fault that the er patient was alone and that he could have harmed himself i
explained one i respectfully asked his er nurse to be in charge of him until
the other patient monitor arrives two the aggressive patient was discharged so
no more one-on-one so the other patient monitor needed to leave and proceed to
the er patient three i did everything that was told the nurse manager still
applauded the other patient monitor for staying with a non-one-on-one patient
till the last minute and talked down on me for basically following protocol
telling me that you should have never have left that er patient okay
fine not even one week later i was with a patient who was getting discharged and
i did exactly what the nurse manager told me to do stay with the patient till
the last minute even when they aren't one-on-one anymore this time the nursing
office knew that this patient was leaving and that they were expecting me
back at their office soon but the discharge papers aren't done and three
paramedics were with the patient waiting and told me that it's okay to leave as
well as the nurses i told them that i needed to stay until the last second the
nurse manager runs into an issue where she needs me with another patient she
tried calling me where are you the patient you have is getting discharged
and we need you here i tell them oh but i should stay with the patient till the
last minute just like they disciplined me a couple of days earlier they kept
trying to tell me it's okay and that they need me but i said no it's okay i
insist they tell me it's fine and to come as soon as the patient leaves half
an hour goes by and the patient still didn't leave and the nurse manager calls
me back she really needs me but i tell her i can't i also say what if the
patient hurts themselves the manager gets annoyed and hangs up
later after i left the patient as she left i went back to the nursing office
and the nursing manager can't make eye contact with me apparently they had to
pull someone from a different role to watch the patient because i was busy if
you're gonna praise something that is clearly informal and not against the
structure of what you're supposed to do the next time that comes around you're
gonna follow that exact informal thing that was praised too bad that the
nursing manager realized it kind of sucks our next story is by shophopper a
letter for our ceo mr johnson i just came back from a great skiing trip with
a bunch of colleagues it was a short holiday in our private time and paid in
full by anyone who joined the trip in other words it was a private trip with
all attendees working at the same company the youngest person in the group
was fresh out of school while others had
been in key positions in the company for decades the company i work for is a
dutch engineering firm with a thousand plus employees this field of work is
dominated by men where a professional yet very informal organization
where everyone addresses each other on a first name basis our former ceo is with
us on this trip let's call her kathy johnson not only is she a great skier
she's also a very outgoing person who loves to have fun and who hates
pretentious behavior by the way the reason that she's not the ceo anymore
but still works at the company is that we have a mandatory rule that requires
the executive board to step down at the age of 55. the thought behind that is
that the best performing fresh-minded leaders are generally not people who are
well past 60 years of age on the day of our return trip a 10-hour drive we were
carpooling we'd already vacated the hotel and went out skiing until well
after lunchtime while we were changing clothes out in the open and the car
parking she shared a great story while she was ceo she received many letters to
the ceo mr johnson or mr c johnson these letters were all based on the false
assumption that the ceo of an engineering firm must be a man she
instructed her secretary to return every single letter unopened that addressed
her as a man her secretary also a woman loved doing that she returned dozens of
letters over the years stating that there was no mr johnson at our company
when i asked kathy about the replies she told me that the senders invariably
either sent a second letter with profuse apologies or were never heard of again
you gotta love these companies that literally could not account for possibly
having a female ceo got denied and then just never replied never to be heard
from again and our final story of the day is by gentle whimsy boss gets
exactly what he asked for and regrets it
until the day he retired one of my first jobs out of college i was an admin in a
small department in a large company one of my job responsibilities was to take
notes for all our hands meetings then i would type it up and send it out to
everyone seems simple right my boss was very particular and the biggest
micromanager you'll ever meet so there was always something wrong or missing
with my notes there wasn't the worst thing was there was no way to dispute
him and he kept going on about how i needed to be more accurate my supervisor
didn't stick up for me at all being tech savvy i saw a way to cover my butt and
suggested that i record the meeting which i pointed out to him meant i would
never make a mistake again boss had no choice but to agree and i never heard a
peep about the notes again fast forward a few years later my boss retires and
the new boss tells me that i don't have to record the meetings in fact he told
me that as soon as i suggested recording the meetings our old boss knew he had
gone too far but literally couldn't admit it best part was that i was no
longer micromanaged in any other way either job went from the worst to the
best just didn't pay well also this was more accidental malicious compliance but
i still think it belongs here due to the outcome you kind of hope that this guy
felt pretty shameful about it like realizing crap i really did go too far
with this this person was so dedicated to trying to get their notes so right
that they were willing to put 200 percent in and record the meeting as
well just to make sure that my complaints don't i don't know happen
anymore you gotta love how they kind of just sheepishly stop talking about it
stop making any comments op unawaringly totally caught them up but with that
being said that's all the time we have for today so of all these stories i've

aita for refusing to remove all alcohol from our house so that my S can move in
my wife's younger sister Beth 26f is in recovery for alcoholism she is currently
living in a sober house after getting out of rehab my wife wants Beth to move
in with us after the sober house so that she has a support system both Beth and
my wife feel like living with us would be good for her until she feels
comfortable enough to live on her own my milil and fil passed away during the
pandemic which was a big Catalyst for Beth's drinking so my wife and I are the
only family that Beth has left I am not totally against the idea of Beth living
with us I agree that she should have supportive people around her but what I
don't agree with is my wife's insistance that we remove all alcohol from our
house my wife isn't saying that we have to stop drinking so show solidarity with
Beth but that we should remove all alcohol from the house at least at first
it's not like I'm an alcoholic too I maybe have a drink two to three nights a
week but when we bought our house it had an unfinished basement which I turned
into a bar/ game room it's pretty fully stocked like stocked enough that we
don't have room anywhere else in the house to store all of it also stocked
enough that dumping all of it would be a huge waste of money and drinking all of
it would require multiple | give me a good story on AITAForrefusingtoremoveallalcoholfromourhousesothatmySILcanmovein |

what's the most messed up thing of friend has done this story comes from
our community post at above average azuan 2684 one of my exes would at the time
constantly tell anyone with an earshot of herself and say how her stepdad was
leaving weapons just laying around the house note that I'm not an American and
where I live gun laws are pretty strict anyways I was having a chat with a
friend just having a drink shooting and petting his dog the dog was a very good
dog by the way so I'm just talking to him and ask him hey M Sierra keeps
talking about how her stepdad keeps leaving weapons around the house and
like how her little sister Sarah keeps picking them up and stuff who do I even
talk to about it now for the record Mal was a licensed security guard and had
worked in the parliament buildings before so he knew his stuff he hands me
his phone and says the number for the Provincial Police is on there call them
and tell them what's going on so I do and they say due to the fact that it's
not an active scene a Ka he's not there right now with the gun shooting them off
like a whack job it's a matter of the city police so they redirect my call and
I tell the dispatcher the situation give the address and confirm my number and
off they go a while later they call me and the person on the phone goes I'm
Sergeant guy in charge of this investigation is this name me yes
speaking Sergeant guy in charge do you have a few minutes to answer some
questions about your report you made about House address okay sure okay so
you said in your report that you knew of
firearms laying around the house is that correct yes and have you ever seen said
guns around the house no I've never seen
anything there bigger than a Nerf gun uh and can you tell me how you found out
about these guns if you never saw them he's obviously kind of pissed at this
point as I might as well have called in a fake swatting call um well my ex has
been telling me and a lot of our mutual friends about this situation and I was
talking to my friend about it and they suggested that I call it in I see this
sex is is she your ex-wife no ex-girlfriend we have a lot of mutual
friends that run in the same circles as we have certain hobbies that we're both
a part of hm and uh when did you last hear about this well a couple weeks ago
a mutual friend of ours was hosting a party and she was telling me and a few
others about her stepdad leaving guns in the house I see and is the stepdad's
name Julian I believe so yeah but you've never seen the guns in question is that
correct yes I've never seen the guns there do you know of any reason why
Sierra would want to spread such rumors I mean I think she's had a rough time
with her folks with them kicking her out
and such so that could be a reason uh do
you have her address yeah it's number 17 is squid head Drive Unit 1709 obviously
a fake address for keeping it private I see and just to confirm you've never
seen any kinds of firearms there no have
you ever seen anything there that in any way could res resemble a firearm uh do
Nerf guns count are you sure they're Nerf guns yeah I saw the bright yellow
and the Nerf branding on the side of the toys okay but other than that nothing
else no nothing at all all right well thank you for the information here and
just in case we need to ask any other questions here's the best number to
reach you at local area code 8575309 yeah that's right do you think
you might need any other information uh not at this point you've given me a
pretty good understanding of what's going on with them we'll go back and
have a talk about it with them and have someone else talk to Siara about this to
get her side of the story okay sounds good thank you and uh sorry for
bothering you about it all of that did actually happen turns out that Sierra
was lying through her teeth about the weapons and everything else she was
after a while confirmed arrested and it turns out that her folks decided to
press charges afterwards with that little story now Sierra is now unable to
find a job or even start hormone therapy
due to the medication being a controlled
substance and the likelihood of her ever getting a pardon is about as likely as
me waking up tomorrow with a large purple unicorn in my bed that farts out
pure 24 karat gold bars and spews out small fluffy kittens especially seeing
as she still does not think she needs to admit she was wrong about anything she
did if you guys listening want to be featured in any of our future videos
please head on over to my channel and check out my weekly Community posts at
the end of the week I pick out the best comment and add it to my video story two
uh my former best friend had separated from my partner who she was living with
and was trying to make some extra money because well life is expensive totally
fine do what you have to do in fact I let her live with me at the time rentree
to help save up her sister was involved in some sort of explicit waitressing and
my friend got roped into this it involved a lot of uh extras that
involved acts for amounts of money that she claimed at the time to not
participate in again not really a big deal if that is what you want to be
doing some time past she made her money and was saving up a ton I'd occasionally
get funny stories about her shenanigans the next morning over breakfast and
occasionally caution her to take care of herself because she could stay with me
as long as she wanted and being unsafe wasn't worth a bit of cash we worked
together at that time as well for a day job one night we decided to go out for
work so we wrapped up our shift and change into our ganal clothes it was
exciting for me because I was also in school full time and going out didn't
happen often for me we take the train downtown when she gets a call from her
sister and tells me she has to make a stop on her way to the pub it was sort
of on the way so I agreed and waited in the lobby of this highrise about 10
minutes passes and I start to worry so I start calling her and she evades my
question but gets me buzzed up to the apartment I go upstairs and it's clear
that there is some sort of party happening I knock on the door and there
are these guys that answer the door blitzed out of their mind they
immediately try to hand me $300 in cash I try to push them out of the way and
get to my friend I see that she and her sister are almost completely bare except
for their drawers they're walking around
flirting with these guys it is obviously a private party I found out later her
sister's backup bailed so she tried to get my friend to go get her to make a
quick Buck I will find out later me joining is also part of the plan I keep
telling the guys no but they think it is part of the ACT they have hired girls
and I am a girl and it appears like I am dressed up for them it was pretty
traumatizing for me but it got to the point where they ripped off my dress
I was humiliated wandering around this party terrified hoping none of them
would try to do anything else things escalate as it becomes clear my friend
has been given some sort of substance by them and is quickly deteriorating she's
locked herself in the bathroom and screams for me by opening the door a
crack this feels like it happened very suddenly I freak out and try to get all
her stuff me and her and lock us back in the bathroom she initially tries to
throw up so I go with that she had already tried taking a shower for some
reason maybe to keep herself away I'm not really sure but she soaked I am
certain we have to get out of there and I deeply resent her for making the
choice to wear fake leather pants that night because there's no way in hell to
get them back on her I tried calling my then boyfriend to get us but he was
unavailable I tried calling almost everyone I knew just to come get us and
the only person available was a newer friend of mine I knew that by asking her
to help that she would probably never want to hang out again and I wasn't
wrong when I knew she was close I took my chances With The Wolves outside the
door and made our Escape AP I ended up throwing my 140 lb friends sort of over
my tiny shoulders bear and all I have no idea how I managed I was still also
mostly bare as well but managed to throw on my coat friend comes drives us back
to my place one of the guys from the party proceeds to stalk me for a while
one of the ones that ripped my clothing off I asked my former best friend to
move out for putting me in that situation she bought the friend that
drove us home that night flowers as a sorry but never apologized to me that
wasn't the final straw in our relationship but we don't talk anymore I
didn't call the police because her sister threatened me knew where I lived
and said she would tell her boss about me and ruined my life if I told and at
the time I didn't know what to do so I just got us out of there in retrospect I
would have done a better thing but in those situations where you are scared
for your life and are in shock I don't think I ever stopped shaking after my
clothing incident the Deep quiver you get in utter Terror you just do the
thing I was out of my body operating it taking the threats knowing the type of
person her sister was and honestly afraid of what she would do to me I also
was not wrong party dudes stalked me after because her sister told him where
I worked I guess as punishment for leaving also my friend was totally aware
of the situation I have no doubts that it didn't turn out how she planned but
she did make a choice to involve me in that it all came out in later
conversations that her sister was convinced that my look would make them a
lot of money she started asking me if I would do it again with her now that I
had had seen what it was like and that was when I asked her to move out I
understand that trauma manifests in different ways but even if I was in an
accident that wasn't my fault and someone else got hurt I would apologize
I would be sorry they were hurt and she didn't really ever want to go down the
road of apologizing for that wow that is so messed up on so many levels as a
friend she sucks now if you agree that this was a total nightmare then please
also don't forget to hit that like button and subscribe to my channel so
you don't miss out on these crazy stories on my upcoming videos now let's
go ahead and get back to these stories Story three I'm in High School junior
year I think and at the time my main social life was with my Camp friends
from my Jewish Camp who lived really far away from me needed to fly to get there
I wasn't very popular in my school and my Camp friends were the most important
friends I had the year before all of them had come to stay with me for New
Year's Eve for a weekend and we had a great time which was a huge deal because
it took a really long time to get permission from all of our parents and
set up the flights Etc the summer of that year we all went on a six- week
trip to Israel with our camp and had a miserable time how was your
stereotypical awkward self-conscious teenager a girl on the trip decided she
hated me for the first day on the trip for no reason said I look like someone
else she hated and bullied me for the rest of the trip I was super unpopular
and spent the trip trying to fit in completely unsuccessfully and all of my
friends the one who visited me for New Year's kind of went along with it they
didn't encourage it but ALS also didn't try to help me being a stupid kid in
high school I was devastated but still thought my friends were close with me
fast forward to the next New Year's Eve which I spent alone with my mom again
not many friends in high school my Camp friends had told me they were staying in
their home states that night I saw that they all posted photos to Facebook
showing that they had actually flown all
the way to my state and we having a huge party with all of the other kids from
the summer trip including the girl who bullied me the party was 30 minutes away
and not only had I not been invited they had all lied to me to keep it a secret
it devastated me and I haven't spoken to them since it's been over 10 years and
it's still stings even though I grew out of my awkwardness in college and have a
great social life now story four this is going to be a long one so strap in I
have a family friend we'll call her Jane that I grew up with and went to school
with from fifth grade through high school we were off and on about being
close friends because she wasn't the greatest at balancing friendships but at
the time of senior year we were relatively close at the time she was
dating a marine we'll call him John who was from our town but was living on base
in North Carolina he seemed like an okay guy but I knew Jane's track record of
being manipulative and controlling with her previous boyfriends she would tell
me about how he would get pissed at her for random things like not checking in
every second of the day or not being immediately available to answer phone
calls or whatever I found out later that it was mostly her doing this but that's
a different story so time passes and it's getting close to graduation and
these two get engaged everything is fine and dandy and after we graduate she
moves out to NC and they have a court house wedding cool now here's where I
come into the story I had started talking to this guy who lived on the
same base as Jane and John and had family that lived a couple hours away
from there so I arranged to fly out to NC and stay with Jane so I could see my
boyfriend and family she was excited because it had been months since we had
seen each other I flew out there and on the first day we spent most of our time
catching up and I got to know Jon a little better and further validated that
he was a good guy everything was fine on the second day however I wake up and
John is at work on base and Jane tells me I'll be home alone with him while
she's at work later tonight that's fine I like this guy and we got along well so
John comes home and makes dinner and he and I have a couple of drinks we're just
being friendly with each other nothing weird don't get your knickers in a bunch
then Jane comes home earlier than expected and starts drinking straight
from the bottle that never really been around her when she drank so I didn't
know what to expect an hour passes and we're sitting out in the garage talking
about whatever and all of a sudden Jane's entire mood changes she starts
berating John telling him that everyone he knows is terrified of him and so are
his parents and the reason they won't admit it is because they are afraid
he'll hurt them obviously this pisses off JN so he calls his mom to try to
debunk this insane statement and Jane freaks out and just starts screaming at
all of them I don't know how to handle the situation and I'm awkward AI off so
I tried my best to act like I wasn't even there eventually Jane goes inside
and I try to calm Jon down he cools off a bit and dumps what's left of the
alcohol out on the ground I go inside to
check on Jane and find that she's locked herself in the bathroom and is calling
someone from back home I figure there's not much I can do so I go to my own room
JN comes in to make sure Jane and I are okay I tell him I'm fine and that Jane
is locked in the bathroom and he starts asking her to let him in Jane is
screaming at him from the other side of the door saying all kinds of nonsense
about him trying to rough her up if she lets him in but eventually opens the
door Jon is trying to calmly diffuse the situation but I can hear her throwing
herself against the door and the walls of this bathroom the reason I know it
was her is because the sound of his voice never moved from behind the door
but hers did Jane pushes him out of the way and runs out the front door banging
on neighbors's doors to let her in it's like 2 am at this point so obviously
she's gonna wake someone up and this is where it gets more interesting she
eventually gets the immediate nextdoor neighbor to let her in and they call the
police an ambulance now this is a military base so it wasn't just the
county officers who showed up it was the base officers as well who are scary as
heck the cops show up and I'm still at Jane and John's house because I don't
really know what to do so they come in and ask everyone in the house to sit in
the living room they asked me if I would make a statement and I agreed but as
soon as they try to ask me questions another officer comes over from next
door and says Jane is asking for me so I walk over with the officer and find her
sitting on the floor in absolute hysterics saying she doesn't want to see
Jon and she doesn't want him to end her and whatever I told her he's inside and
that she and I have to go to the hospital it takes a few minutes to get
her out of the house and she's still freaking out even when we get into the
ambulance so we get to the hospital and they run a single urine test because she
told them she'd had a miscarriage recently which seemed odd because to my
knowledge they should have done a Toxicology test but whatever they also
didn't give her an IV which I also think
should have been done but again whatever I'm not a doctor then a second nurse
comes in with a gallon siiz bag of medications they took from her house
among those medications were bipolar medication and anti-depressants neither
of which should be mixed with alcohol she never mentioned any of this
otherwise I would have shut her down drinking immediately so now I'm stuck at
the hospital with her with no money no ID and no way to get back home and the
doctor just said we're going to just let her sleep at all off here so you can
wait in the waiting area until she soers up I had to sit in that hospital for 2
more hours call the guy I was talking to and explain the situation to him so he
would come pick us up and then explain to her the next day that I couldn't stay
there anymore and needed to be driven 2 hours to my family's house I heard that
type of thing happens a lot to Young married Marines they learned the hard
way that a lot of their High School sweethearts aren't really that sweet and
just like their paycheck and making things miserable Story five my best
friend at the time pulled the school fire alarm fire trucks showed up and
everything and it was a false alarm he blamed it on me saying that I dared him
to do it and he caved in because best friends are supposed to do what their
friends ask we both got in a ton of trouble and it took me a long time to
live it down I asked him why he really pulled the alarm and he said the sign
said pull and he was curious to see what would happen if you push the lever
instead he dragged my name in to somehow deflect the blame off of him my parents
and teachers never believe my story that was over 20 years ago and I'm still
salty over it freaking a-hole story six my best friend and I parted ways for a
while and are now back to where we used to be I got out of the military and he
stayed in he got stationed in Germany and we used to FaceTime once a week he
ended up getting together with this woman who was super controlling she
didn't like the fact that he is also friends with my wife and could talk to
her with such ease either way he comes back stat side I go visit him and he
tells me he's planning on marrying her I tell him it's a horrible idea and I've
never seen him so unhappy even after we lost a few good friends in the sandbox
we get into an argument and basically just shake hands and walk away I had a
void in my life as I no longer had a best friend he called me two years ago
and told me he is getting a divorce he flies out to see me in my new home and
we end up spending 12 hours catching up over two bottles of wild turkey and
about three packs of cigarettes in the end he tells me he should have listened
to me and he was sorry I named my first child after him and now he's getting
married again to an amazing woman who respects our relationship and to whom
I've grown to love as a sister I hope you guys enjoyed the video and if you

welcome friends to another r slash malicious compliance video today we've
got a great compliance story getting extra money on the side but first the
story from voyager vii whatever you'd usually wear this happened a long time
ago in a friend group of mine julia 27 year old female at the time of the
incident was having a garden party julia
was basically a good person but stressed out over tiny details easily and when
she was throwing a party she could sometimes get a little
well whatever the equivalent of bridezilla is if it's not actually a
wedding in this case she was driving all
of us girls nuts with her vision for her party which included each of us in a
different color coordinated pastel dress so that we'd make a collective rainbow
and similar antics enter mickey 24 year old male mickey was and still is julia's
best friend he definitely had a streak of mischief to him and he was also the
only one who could usually make julia see how ridiculous she was being when
she got like this we asked him to talk to her about it but he didn't get
anywhere this time julia just said tiredly please let me have this i've
been working on it for months eventually we ended up agreeing to wear what she
wanted us to wear so long as she paid for the dresses which to her credit she
did meantime though mickey asked her what he was supposed to wear now julia's
vision didn't really include specific plans for how the guys were going to
dress she just wanted them in suits or the like so when mickey asked her that
in the middle of a harried moment she blurted i don't care just wear whatever
you'd normally wear to an outdoor party cue malicious compliance or at least
mischievous compliance since i don't think there was serious malice involved
see mickey worked at a rent fair when he went to outdoor parties which he did
several times every summer he attended as part of the staff and he had a very
specific costume he was supposed to wear and so on the day of the party he shows
up early along with most of the rest of us to help julius set up and he's
wearing a full renfair jester's costume complete with cap and bells to julia's
credit her first reaction was to laugh her head off her second was to swat him
mickey did set up in the jester's outfit and then finally admitted just before
the party that he had a different outfit in his bag if she'd like him to change
he hadn't intended to really mess up her party only to break her brain a little
before it started julia eventually did tell him it would be nice if he'd go
change but she had to think about it she admitted she was starting to think it
might be worth it just to see how everybody else reacted to this perfectly
set up garden party with a pseudo medieval jester wandering around i'm
just imagining everybody showing up in these pretty pastel dresses every other
guy in a proper suit and then you just got the town jester walking around with
bells ringing as they waddle along if you saw all of this go down would you
hope that they got to keep that gesture outfit on and just kept wearing it for
no reason or do you think that while the prank was funny they should go back to
the formal wear that everybody else is wearing let me know what way you'd roll
in the comments down below our next stories from advanced law 3507 confirmed
people's addresses several years ago i worked for a telemarketing company doing
what amounted to cold call sales they had a trick of offering bs prize draws
to get people's numbers and consent thanks to the fine print of the draw
they also had a super illegal policy that nobody was to be taken out of the
database whether they asked yelled begged to be never called again
threatened legal action or even pointed out that they were on my country's do
not call list didn't matter we weren't allowed to take them off the list only
if the caller was dead or no longer reachable at that number were we to
strike them off i was a student that needed the money so i couldn't afford to
fight the policy but i could ask any caller that gave me reason to are you
sure that x lives there or have they moved away if i had a video i would have
winked i had gotten it to two people no longer at that number a shift before
management pulled me up and they hadn't proven what i was doing by the time i
was finally able to quit honestly for all the people out there that get blown
up from telemarketers and spam callers bless people like op that actually give
them away to get off that list unless that company is a publicly identifiable
us company you're probably not getting off that list otherwise our next story
is from msb1678 threaten to sue me okay you brought this
on yourself i work as a cashier for a small grocery chain we carry a lot and i
mean a lot of produce so much so that we have multiple kinds of tomatoes peaches
peppers etc organic and regular and in some cases different kinds of produce
might have different prices different kinds of apples might have different
prices a california peach maybe a dollar fifty more or less than a large white
peach roma tomatoes and hothouse aka beefsteak tomatoes ring up a different
price per pound amounts now the somewhat annoying fact from the perspective of
the person who has to ring and away all this produce is that while most of our
items have their produce code stickers on them not all of them do so sometimes
cashiers have to guess now this incident took place in the middle of my shift on
a sunday afternoon which is the busiest day of the week not kidding seriously
our latest shipment of hot house tomatoes were a bit small so they were
easily confused with our tomatoes on the vine believe it or not those are a
category all their own so if there wasn't a sticker i would have to examine
them to see if i could figure out what kind they were on this particular
occasion the hot house tomatoes were on sale for approximately a dollar less
than the vine an older guy we'll call him mr big shot who had that vaguely
familiar face of a semi-regular rings his order through my line and he's made
the semi-annoying choice to not only bag his tomatoes in one of those little
rinky dink bags you found in the produce department but he's done it in such a
way that to avoid hurting his tomatoes a real thing i've heard customers say the
bag's been inflated and tied kind of like a chip bag this particular practice
really only serves to make it harder to tell what kind of items are in the bag
and of course after examination he's picked only the loveliest of tomatoes
the kind that doesn't have a sticker so i give them a look and make the guess
that these are vine tomatoes ring him up he pays i move on to the next customer
however five minutes later he comes back up to me spinning fire and fury receipt
clutched in his hand and demands to speak to my manager well tell me why
just spits at me that i'd better call a manager or he'll have my job okay fine
the manager comes over and mr big shot immediately launches into a full-scale
tirade about how we scammed him he's a lawyer he's going to sue us the store
the manager and me for everything we own over false advertising because we
charged him the 2.69 cents per pound for vine tomatoes instead of the dollar
fifty for the hot house the manager pulls him aside gives him a refund for
the tomatoes a whole three dollars and forty nine cents and big shot sneers at
me like he's won some huge victory over my lowly self as he leaves my manager
then comes up to me and tells me that i have to be extra careful in the future
to make sure what kind of produce i'm ringing up up to and including leaving
my register to confirm the particular breed of tomato regardless of how busy
we are no matter what now normally i'm a chill person however i'd just been
threatened over an innocent mistake and then i'm reprimanded for it in the
middle of a busy store full of customers cue malicious compliance mr big shot
comes back in a week later and comes through my line with a smug little smile
once again with stickerless produce and bubble bags i carefully ring up every
item he has that isn't produce taking my
time to ensure that a line forms i heard my wrist yesterday owie sorry i can't
move as fast as normal then i take a bag of one kind of produce jostle it around
in its bag so i can examine it and decide that nope i can't figure out what
kind of apple this is so i look up at mr big shot and in my most sweet and
saccharine voice ask him to show me where he got these apples from because i
can't figure it out he grumbles but because he's bent the little female
cashier into submission shows me the basket with the price tag this happens
two more times but now he's getting impatient with me and snaps in me to
just ring up the produce i explained to him that because he brought me produce
without a sticker i had to make sure i was ringing him up for the right item
the lady behind him is of course giving us both dirty looks and the people
waiting behind her don't look too happy either mr big shot demands a manager so
i quite happily go over to the loudspeaker and ask one to come over lo
and behold it's the same one from last time big shot starts complaining loudly
that i'm wasting his time being rude and
making him walk over the store to figure out prices the manager turns to me
confused and irritated and demands to know what the heck i'm doing i very
calmly replied well you told me that i had to make sure even if it meant
leaving my register well he had these items gesturing at the produce in
question that don't have stickers they look close enough to other kinds and i
don't know which basket they came from so i asked him to show me i'm only doing
what you told me to the manager gave me a funny look assured mr big shot that
everything would be taken care of later and left i finished ringing him up he
paid and i moved on later that day another member of the office staff came
over and told me that the manager had said that if there wasn't a sticker it
was okay to just guess mr big shot came through my lane a few more times with
less dramatic repeats of the same thing until he either learned his lesson or
just realized he needed to stop coming through my lane either way i won now op
says they won and they definitely got back in mr big shot here and equally the
manager but working retail like that as a cashier did anybody truly win in that
situation i feel bad for cashiers in general
because it's like a inevitable game they play where at some point they're going
to get somebody that is just awful to serve if there's one surefire place
you're gonna end up getting a karen experience one way or another from it's
gonna be in the shoes of a cashier or should i say maybe vest and our final
story of the days by velocity boy zero zero wasn't made redundant like everyone
else in the company so kept showing up to work until the end to do nothing this
story is from june 2012 a week or so short of 10 years ago i've generalized
my exact work for anonymity the story takes place in australia where we have
very stringent laws around employment firing hiring redundancies maternity etc
etc a little bit of background i'd started working for this particular
company in march 2011. i was hired basically on the spot once i
demonstrated my knowledge of the product that i would be working on and started
two days later because of a deadline that had to be met i had a very specific
contract for what i did i was thrown in the deep end a sleepless seven days
followed but by the end i managed to do a decent job on the first of many
products two months after i started my direct boss general manager was let go
and not really replaced properly but a consultant took over their
responsibilities i should also add that a majority of the operations were on
australia while a smaller team operated in the uk which is also where the ceo
was based despite 80 to 90 percent of products coming out of our office
towards the third quarter of 2011 the ceo's contract ended and wasn't renewed
so the hunt began for a new ceo who was eventually found and began also working
in the uk location after a very busy 2011 hiring approximately 30 new
employees and launching a bunch of new products business was booming until the
second week of january 2012. by this point upper management couldn't stay on
top of everything bringing in the ceo of
the parent company to oversee operations in australia because we had a lot going
on but the ceo was based in the uk and knew at this point we had a group
meeting where we learned the future of the company and that operations in
australia would cease on june 20 2012 end of the fiscal year in
australia this was followed by management explaining that everyone
except a handful of people would be made redundant with payouts the handful who
would remain would instead be made redundant after finishing their projects
at the end of 2012. so over the next five months as operations were slowly
winding up and people started to exit the company i'd lined up a few job
interviews one of these was my dream job based in europe working in the exact
field i wanted to be in i kept this quiet telling only a handful of my
closest friends at my still current job the recruitment process took quite a few
weeks many late nights skype interviews general chats it was a big job in a
massive interview process and towards the end of may i'm still in the running
for this dream job and by this point pretty much everyone knows wishing me
luck around comes the start of june and everyone starts to get their redundancy
letters giving them 28 days of official notice outlining their pay schedules and
all legal entitlements when i say everyone i mean everyone except me i
find this very strange but quickly realize it's because if i hand in my
notice i won't be entitled to a payout and the company gets to save a few
thousand dollars this is where my malicious compliance kicks in i keep
quiet and don't say anything by about the second week of june i find out that
i didn't get my dream job and i tell one other person but make sure they don't
tell anyone else fast forward to the last week of june and now there's just
seven employees including me left in the office alongside the gm ceo and cfo
everyone except me has packed up their desks and at this point just showing up
to basically be social and reminisce on the second to last day i run into the
ceo remember he was from the parent company brought in to oversee the
winding up of operations next to my desk and he goes you must be sad and that
tomorrow's the last day casually i respond with oh is it i know it'll be
quiet but i didn't realize it's my last day he takes a closer look at my desk
still not backed up has the most confused look on his face and responds
with yeah it's everyone's last day why wouldn't it be your last i say oh i
never got a redundancy letter at this point i can see the expression on his
face go from huh to oh crap in the hope that i would get a different job and
resign so i don't get redundancy entitlements among everything else going
on between the gm coo and cfo they forgot to issue me an official
redundancy notice at this point he realizes all this and goes oh come and
see me in my office in 30 minutes half an hour later i go to his office he's
sitting there with the cfo by his side but also kind of behind him there's a
few papers on his desk i sit down and he starts sorry we didn't do this properly
at an earlier point but here's all your redundancy paperwork the first piece of
paper is the official letter i pick it up start reading and the first thing
that catches my eye is the date it's been backdated to 27 days previously now
this is a two copy letter that needs to be signed by both employer and employee
i put it down and go that's not today's date he gets flustered and responds with
sorry we forgot to get to you but the notice was issued on that day i say it
might have been issued then but this is the first i'm seeing of it and you'll
note it hasn't been signed by me he says
yes but you knew this was coming i say i did but i assumed i'd be retained for
longer because i wasn't given official notice he says what do you want us to do
now i say put today's date on it and i'll sign it he says but legally we need
to wrap up operations before the end of the month we can't do that i say you
could try to fire me instead but i don't think fair work commission would be
satisfied with your reason of me not wanting to sign a falsified redundancy
letter by this point he's very flustered meanwhile i'm just laughing my butt off
in my head he says okay let me change this for you he disappears comes back
with another copy with the correct date okay here you go i say i'm not signing
this yet he says why not i say well i've
got 28 more days of legal employment now which means i'm owed an extra day and a
bid an annual leave in my final pace schedule he looks at the cfo and the cfo
looks at him and nods an agreement he changes my payout schedule adding
another day of annual leave to it prints it out and hands it to me i carefully
look over everything it's all in order now i sign the paperwork we both get
copies he says so what will you be doing here for the next 28 days i say nothing
i'm not coming back after today he says but you're legally employed for another
four weeks we can't be paying you for nothing you should help out the it guy
and pack up some boxes i say there's nothing in my contract about packing up
boxes so i won't be doing that also if you read my contract it says i'm
employed to work on this one specific project only and any other work outside
of this needs to be agreed on separately and since you sold my project to the
competition yesterday and is no longer at this company i have no further
contractual obligations to fulfill by this point the cfo is barely holding in
his laughter he says well that's not fair we have to pay you an extra month
for nothing i say that's not my problem my contractual obligations have been
fulfilled i'm going to pack up and go home at 5 pm he says ok please make sure
it's not before 5 pm i get back to my desk and pack it up in less than 5
minutes put all my personal belongings in a box and just sit around doing
nothing one of my colleagues who was remaining for a few more months comes
over and asks what was that all about i explain everything in detail he lets out
the biggest booming laugh goes to his office closes the door and continues
laughing 15 minutes later the cfo comes over and goes you don't have to stay
until the end of the day you can take off whenever you want and this is the
story of how i got an extra month's pay due to management's incompetence i mean
i totally understand why management did what they did but frankly at some level
you gotta accept that it seems like this guy is not going to get a new job or
leave on their own volition and you need to cut bait clearly whoever was
responsible for that just kind of forgot at some point and it really cost them
but with that being said that's all the time we have for today now if you want
to hear another malicious compliance story that was even more insane than any
of the ones in this video click on that left video or if you missed my latest
video click on the right and with that said i'll see you all next time with
some more stories | give me a good story on rMaliciousComplianceHOWIGOTANEXTRAMONTHSOFPAYFORFREERedditStoriesorig |

today we have a crazy nuclear Revenge story of ruining somebody's sister's
Life we'll get into that in a bit but first homie duped your friends off their
money so we crashed their wedding one of my friends and our large friend group
had a business idea after school that we all jumped in on her name is Catherine
she was like the least ambitious of us all on campus all of us started our
businesses and we try to get her to join in with us but she was always like
there's things cut out for some people and some things not cut out for them not
everyone will be an entrepreneur and stuff we accepted that but then during
breaks and long holiday periods we also try to get her to apply for a job
internships or Junior roles but she also won't her excuses were something like
they need someone more qualified I can't juggle school and work I'm too busy to
get a job this holiday at some point it started getting obvious to us that she
just was not ready on one occasion our mutual friends and I joined in on
telling her that she had given the same not qualified excuse for for so long
someone who really wanted it would have sucked it up and gotten the necessary
qualifications by then but not Catherine she preferred to live off her parents
money with no plans for securing a future for herself we all knew that the
end of the road was ultimately going to be ugly but there was another
consolation she had her rich boyfriend Mark Mark knew Catherine's family Mark
was just what her parents wanted for her and she loved him so much there was no
doubt that she was going to be the first
of us to get married after school as for me I was planning to further my
education by getting a master's degree my friend Kennedy was going to go into
her dry cleaning business Lola was becoming a chef and benedicta found an
opening in a marketing agency there were more of us but not to be mentioned here
you might be wondering why a couple of achievers like us hung out with someone
like her well it wasn't really a thing then to cut people off and she was our
friend long before we started becoming ambitious in college anyway the idea was
that she would get married to her rich boyfriend and that would be the end of
her friends bothering her about making money for herself well graduation day
came and we said our goodbyes some of us traveled back to the countries we came
from to study and others moved away to live in newer locations we stayed in
touch with each other I bagged my degree and other business owners started to
make waves in their industry video calls
were more or less about us ranting about adult life comparing the life we had on
campus to what we had now and arguing about which of us had life better
Catherine was never about that life while some of us were coming back to the
group chats with news about her new restaurant opening new houses new cars
new man Catherine was always taking pictures in fancy places pictures of her
by herself in Paris and when they went together to Dubai flooded our group
chats it was like caddy was trying to prove to us that she didn't need to be
hard working like the rest of us to be affluent in life life finally Mark
proposed to her he was a gentleman so nobody was surprised he could not have
dated her that long to leave her hanging truly what all of us were waiting for
was the news and we had it so it came down to us asking Catherine when the
wedding will be and where it'll be held somehow caddy who used to be so vibrant
and responsive in the group chat came off as busy and totally ghosting us
naturally we assumed it was all because of the wedding preparations a girl has
to choose her dress pick a haul and organize things with her event planner
but still no one knew the date of her wedding it took weeks but later
Catherine came online again and instead of replying to the messages we left her
in the group she went to each one of us privately apparently she had a new
business idea my concern was reasonable was this business idea so important that
it trumped all the other questions we had about her wedding was it that
serious if the business idea weighed higher than the wedding in Catherine's
scale then it's two things either the scale is broken or Catherine went
through a life-changing turn of events that reorientated her mind it turned out
to be the second one honestly we're still not sure what made Catherine want
to get a job it had to be connected to the wedding someone said that Mark was
not willing to pay for the expensive wedding that she desired another person
said that she checked the financial demands on a growing family and realized
that if she wanted to have kids she had to reduce her lifestyle that was
traumatizing enough but from our calculations Mark's income alone should
have been able to sustain their family something else was up something that was
our inherent fear it has not yet been confirmed but we believe that Mark
dropped in ranks where he worked as his pay was not quite high as it was before
this kind of woke Catherine up to the reality she had to face because the
wedding was soon and it had to be perfect just like she already imagined
it to be so Catherine started a thrift closed business where she sold classic
dresses palazzo pants chiffon tops and work Blazers to Chic women many of her
clothes were on the expensive side but since we were supporting our friend and
most of what she sold were incredibly fashionable we decided to buy some
things from her however Catherine in the shop business were a little different
there were things that were on pre-order and we could only get the things we
bought if we pre-ordered them to help out I bought some gowns shoes jackets
and camisoles all a totaling to the amount of 60 US dollars I know people
who bought up to 105 US dollars or even two hundred dollars come on this was our
friend and she was finally doing the business we so much wanted her to do
plus whether she came clean or not we understood that they needed the money so
Catherine posted some pictures and as she posted them we could choose the ones
that we wanted and forward our invoice to her with our desired sizes and colors
obviously to get her more customers all our friends forwarded these pictures
pictures as many as we could to all the people we knew we pushed her young
business like it was ours now this is where the real problem started from if
it was left at just a friendship circle thing we could have easily let go but
this was more others had reordered and sent their money and Catherine had told
us to do we were excited to help and proud that we could get a number of
women to participate too but sometimes your good ideas turn out to be bad ideas
when it was time for the shipment to be made and for the goods to be delivered
as promised Catherine came up with so many excuses as to why her Goods had not
yet been delivered a month turned into two it wasn't getting clear that we were
going to get those goods that we ordered but I had colleagues neighbors and
relatives on my neck asking me about my friend's business when were they going
to get their clothes apart from me others also had people to deal with
paying customers who had given their money to receive their goods how are we
supposed to disappoint them all Catherine went awfully quiet she wasn't
responding to any of us we started having conference calls just because of
her to know who had finally reached out to her and gotten a response poor Mark
too he wasn't out of this but he assured
us to get Catherine to respond to us but the chick was too afraid to face us
one-on-one what happened maybe any of these few things her lack of exposure in
business finally caught up with her because she needed to learn that it's
not everyone you meet that you can do business with it was probably the
business of a fraudster and now he had all the money and he disappeared or it
was that Catherine herself was the fraudster and she was holding on to our
money somewhere knowing she was never going to release the goods or it could
actually really be delayed Goods or maybe the ship sank whatever just
anything to get our money back or at least the dresses weeks passed again and
I don't know what others started telling their friends and Families so that they
would loosen their tight grip on our necks I felt very much betrayed
embarrassed and foolish this was the same with everyone who tried to help her
others were going on and on about how helping people has always been a bad
idea I think at this point everyone gave up on Catherine and her boyfriend Mark
she definitely knew that one day the noise would go down and after that she
could come out okay again well as for me I genuinely forced myself to forget
about it I knew Catherine was fine and would be fine in the end so I had to
mind my business and leave her to mind hers there were speculations that she
had duped her entire family and friends so that there wasn't even one person
left to invite her to her wedding so they did it small that was how we liked
to joke amongst ourselves surprisingly one of those days we heard about
Catherine's destination wedding it wasn't going to happen in the states or
in one of those very expensive exclusive
mouth-watering Weddings But it was going to take place back in her African home
the person who shared it in our group chat made fun of her that they would
finally have to go small but I knew that these African weddings would cost her
nothing less than a couple of million if it first started as a joke someone
brought up the idea of crashing in and causing a scene I remembered that in all
the Nigerian weddings I'd seen a lot of money was being thrown around we could
each count our money back and get our specific amounts each some liked my idea
others just thought it would be better to actually crash the wedding and bring
everything down because Catherine didn't deserve any of it whatever our various
reasons were we all found ourselves buying plane tickets to travel to
Nigeria we found out the exact date and time of the wedding we booked a hotel
very close to the venue and everything was set Catherine thought she was so
sneaky by not telling us about her wedding we stood by her through
everything on campus but because she messed up that was her way of saving
herself from us come on we were originally supposed to be the
Bridesmaids Mark knew this but he was still letting the wedding go on without
us he knew his wife was a fraud and he also never talked to us about the money
we had lost so any last strand of pity for them had left me long enough I was
not in Nigeria to have a civil conversation we were there to make sure
the wedding was not a success and we were going to do it the hard way I don't
know how Kennedy got us passes into the place Security in these weddings are
always top-notch but we got one ticket and that was how all that mattered
Catherine was going to have one of the worst evenings of her life to remember
for the rest of her days we were there too early so we stayed parked in our car
under the tree for fear that someone might remember us there were four of us
in the car representing a larger number of six girls it remained the goal to
interrupt the wedding whether or not we could get our compensation just as long
as Catherine cried for what she did to us we waited for quite a while it had to
be when the the couple had entered inside and dancing was going on in the
party that we sneaked in got to the mic and ended the whole thing someone even
talked about wrecking the cake others about taking gifts with us but I think
that would have been criminal so we did as planned Catherine had a live stream
going on it was streamed on all her social media platforms she probably
thought that we her friends were back in our different countries watching as she
thought she could make us furious with a few picks on IG too about their
traditional wedding pictures unfortunately her wedding was only a
secret to no one when we saw that it was
time for the bride and groom to dance in we got ourselves ready relatives and
Friends danced around them spraying wads of cash we stepped down from the car
fully adorned in our Nigerian attires makeup nails hair everything two of us
marched to the stage while the other two of us went to pick up as many notes of
cash could be found on the floor the look of dismay on Catherine's face was
to die for even March stopped dancing the music stopped and when I got to the
mic I told everyone to stay clear of us we were not party crashers we were her
original bridesmaids who she duped and ran away to Nigeria with our money to
have her wedding we were there to recover everything back and to make
everyone know that they were celebrating
with a fraudulent couple the mothers and aunties started to beg Catherine was
crying I ended my speech with well happy
married life this is the speech from the
original bridesmaids the whole party was too stunned to speak everyone was too
Frozen to stop us until someone called security maybe it was Mark but that was
his mistake we could have gone without causing too much damage but when the
security showed up we started resisting objects were broken and the party
crashed completely people started running home for their safety the gift
table was overturned if there was any gift remaining there that wasn't broken
Catherine was very lucky well anyway we were able to bribe these men and we left
scot-free back to the Instagram live and other streaming channels the comments
there were so hilarious the wedding had to end on that note and Catherine well
she came back to us to ask for our forgiveness how much do you guys want to
bet that Catherine came back asking for their forgiveness but still didn't want
to give any of the money back probably was also like well I spent it all on
that wedding that you ruined as if anybody's going to take them back and be
friends with her after all that that said our next story is I accidentally
ruined my sister's life nothing hurts quite like betrayal from family the
closer you are the more heartbreaking it is when my sister decided to stab me in
the back the pain was worse than anything I've ever felt in my life what
hurts more is the guilt I continue to feel for my retaliation I should provide
some more context for this well how about I just start from the beginning
Deborah and I were more than just sibling feelings we were best friends
there was almost nothing we didn't share or talk about I always had her back and
she always had mine there was almost nothing I wouldn't do for my kid's
sister I remember having to deal with a fair number of her classmates who
thought it was a good idea to bully her it was this annoying click headed by the
silly girl Maddie who was jealous of my sister for beating her at the school
spelling bee and then made the decision that she'd make my sister's life a
living heck she and her Posse started taunting her and leaving all sorts of
messages in her bag and Locker Debbie decided that she wouldn't tell anyone
about it even me she thought she could just deal with it in that soon Maddie
and her crew would leave her alone as is the case with bullies silence only
enables them more and soon they got emboldened enough to actually attack her
physically even then all she told me was
that Maddie was being annoying it wasn't
until their grades began to slip and are usually vibrant energy began to wane
that I discovered that whatever it was she was racing with Maddie it was
certainly more than just being annoying so I decided to figure out what was
going on myself I've hit a guy in her class 10 bucks to tell me what I wanted
to know when I finally found out what was going on I was livid no one
absolutely no one bullied my sister and got away with it so I decided to get
back at the girls I too started to drop creepy notes in Maddie's Locker
obviously Maddie and her friends suspected that it was Debbie but they
just couldn't prove it then one day I found out that one of Maddie's friends a
short sticky girl named Anna lived close to our home I snuck over one evening
stole their little pomeranian puppy and then left a note stating that if she and
her friends didn't stop what they were doing the little pup might get to see
his maker very soon obviously I wasn't going to do anything to the dog I'm not
a monster however Anna seemed to get the message and soon Maddie and her click
suddenly stopped bullying my sister I returned the pup after a week it wasn't
just me looking out for her though when I first started dating I was with this
girl named akua I was completely enamored and in my mind I considered
myself extremely lucky to be with her there was almost nothing she asked me to
do that I didn't do at the time I thought that I'd found the love of my
life I had started thinking of how we'd be together forever and how I tell our
children that their mother and I had been high school sweethearts everything
seemed to be going swell and I was quite
happy in the relationship however Debbie
felt something was off when she spoke to me about it I dismissed it as her being
overprotective but the feelings seemed to persist she started to try to get
what made her feel like akua was bad for me try as she did she just couldn't put
a finger to it however during summer vacation she decided to take a dance
class well it turns out that akua was also taking the dance class and so they
got to spend a bit of time together at first because of her skepticism Debbie
was untrusting of her and was trying to figure her out however they soon started
to get a little close and even hung out together a few times one day though
Debbie decided to go through akua's phone she claimed that it was a final
test to see if akua was really someone she could trust to be with me what she
found was that apparently my girlfriend had another boyfriend in fact it seemed
like I was the side piece and she was only with me because of all the perks
she got for me when Debbie told me about it I was in so much denial I didn't
speak to her for days but then I really started to think about it it was true
akua was only really affectionate when she wanted to ask for a favor I
confronted her about it and eventually broke up with her honestly I dodged a
big bullet and it was all thanks to my sister now I'm sure you're probably
thinking well things seemed to be going well between you and your sister so
where did it all go wrong well to tell you about that I'll have to go forward a
decade after the whole situation with akua when I was a 24 year old struggling
veterinarian I had just finished with college and I got a job as an intern at
a local vet hospital the pay wasn't impressive or anything but at least I
wasn't starving I had this whole plan of
how I developed myself over the next few years Debbie on the other hand had
skipped College altogether and had gotten a job as a bartender to the best
of my knowledge she was doing just fine I made sure we got to see each other at
least once a week sometimes I went over to her workplace and tried to make small
talk while she worked most times though we went out to see a movie or to visit
our parents or occasionally have lunch it was pretty good things were just fine
till things started to change for me first I got a new job it was a full-time
role and it was more demanding than my previous role it also paid way better
however the hours were pretty long and so I didn't have as much time as I did
before this meant that I went from seeing Debbie at least once every week
to seeing her once every other week Debbie let me know immediately that she
was a little jealous of the fact that work was taking so much time she also
mentioned that she was also worried that I was overworking myself but I assured
her that I was fine then I met someone new Camila Camila was extremely sweet
and I fell in love almost instantly there is just something about her that
made her so lovable there wasn't a person who met Camila who didn't like
her well except for Debbie at first she claimed that just like with my high
school girlfriend akua something just didn't seem right with her I was
actually worried about this as Debbie's intuition was usually right and so I
started to wonder if I truly had made the right decision by choosing to be
with Camilla I started to observe her cautiously but I stayed with her between
work and spending time with Camila Debbie and I got to spend less time
together well at least physically I made sure I still called often and we even
used FaceTime a lot Debbie continued to subtly complain about me not spending as
much time with her as I used to I didn't really think that that was an issue I
mean we were grown up up and that was a part of the process right you move on
with your lives and start to have less time for certain people and more time
for other people I love my sister but I simply could not be available whenever
she wanted me to be and that was just part of life I figured she'll get over
it all soon enough Debbie however had a different plan I never assumed that I'd
ever get to experience craziness like I was about to experience from Debbie no
one ever thinks that they'd be the victim of a jealous loved one you read
about and watch stuff like that and think well that'll never be me how can
someone be so close to a psychopath well just like my sister sometimes these
people are just regular folks you've known and loved for years it's kind of
hard to think that they'd be capable of anything like that I was about to find
out the hard way it started with random Anonymous texts to my girlfriend Camilla
could not figure out why she kept getting messages with things like leave
him alone and you're not the only one obviously she talked to me about it she
she was concerned that I was probably cheating and that the person I was
cheating on her with was the one who kept sending her the messages we spoke
and I assured her that I wasn't messing around with anyone else I even went as
far as to give her access to my messages
and call log just to prove the point she blocked the numbers that were texting
her and for a while it was relatively quiet I kept wondering who could have
been responsible for the messages it certainly could have been a prank the
whole point of a prank was to be funny and it usually didn't go on for that
long it seemed apparent that someone somewhere was trying to ruin my
relationship who I couldn't tell what was more puzzling than who though was
why who would benefit from having my girlfriend break up with me a jealous ax
some hidden arch rival somewhere I didn't know I couldn't tell I never once
suspected Debbie though Debbie decided to go too far though she figured that
since her plan to ruin my relationship didn't work why not try to attack my my
career I mean if I was unemployed I'd have plenty of time to spend with her
right I mean why bother about the implications it would have to my
finances and mental health so she again started to send messages to my boss
accusing me of All Sorts Debbie through anonymous messages claimed that I had
said multiple women in college and I'd never gotten the justice that I deserved
now a claim like this is a pretty serious one and so my boss decided that
it'll be best to bring me in for questioning when she asked me about the
accusations she had heard of I obviously denied it my parents had brought me up
well and taught me about gender-based crime and how to be a good man by being
decent I had never once essayed a woman in my entire life as a matter of fact I
had once gotten into a fight in high school when a drunk football player
tried to get handsy with a girl from my class and she said no the accusations
were baseless and I insisted on my innocence I had no negative school or
police record and I told her that if someone was alleging that I'd done
something as awful as that they should come with some sort of proof I quickly
realized that whoever it was was sending my boss these false accusations was
probably the same person trying to ruin my relationship I was worried I started
to get a bit paranoid concerned that there was someone out there who was
trying to get me needless to say that this greatly affected my quality of life
and even my relationship a bit I had to start seeing a therapist then one day I
got the bright idea to use a private investigator services to figure out who
was repeatedly attacking me so I could at least get some closure it took a
while but eventually I got bold enough to actually do it it took the pi just a
week to find out who was responsible in that week I was very nervous I kept
thinking what if it's someone really close to me I kept wondering which one
of my friends could be mad enough at me to try and ruin my life again I never
once suspected Debbie the PIP came back with his findings Debbie was responsible
for it all I was more confused than anything else why would she try to hurt
me like that what was the whole point of it all my confusion turned into anger
really quickly and I was determined to give her a taste of her own medicine I
anonymously submitted a report to the police alleging that Debbie was a part
of a drug trafficking ring I expected that the police would show up give her a
bit of a scare and that after that I could tell her that I was responsible
and warn her against attacking me however things escalated a little more
than I expected when the police raided her home she had tried to put up a fight
thinking that she was being robbed a police officer had tackled her and
pinned her to the ground breaking a rib and dislocating her knee in the process
she spent a week in the hospital and two extra months recovering from her
injuries she lost her job too as if that
wasn't bad enough even though the police had not found anything incriminating in
her home the police officer who tackled her received no repercussion for his
actions honestly I feel a little guilty about what happened to her I haven't
been able to tell anyone that I was responsible for what had happened to
Debbie even my girlfriend doesn't know sometimes I wonder if I should let her
know that it was me and I was sorry about it all but I worry that if I ever
told her it'll be so big an issue that she'd cut me off completely I did after
all ruin her life on the plus side after
that incident Debbie did seem to be more open about me not having time for her
like before in fact she started to become good friends with Camila it has
me wondering if maybe my action wasn't so bad maybe it was a good thing I heard
my sister so much honestly I'm impressed after all that had gone on and you
realize how mental and the lengths of which your sister is going to to try to
get your time and attention that he would even entertain hanging around them
or acknowledging them for a while like I feel like you'd have to see them go to
therapy and take like a year away from this person before you'd start feeling
like okay maybe we can start connecting again I mean a person like this what if
they just relapse on their need for your attention but with that being said
that's all the time we have for today now if you want to hear another
absolutely crazy Revenge story check out that video on the left or if you missed

hello everyone my name is Steven and welcome to story time today we're going
to be reading some our slash malicious compliance stories and quickly before
this video starts I just want to say about 60% of you lovely people aren't
currently subscribed so if you enjoyed these videos please make sure to
subscribe so you'll never miss an upcoming video with that being said
let's get into the stories don't want us to do it the right way
alright you're the boss hello friends this is a happy little story from my
time as a warehouse assistant some background first this happened while
working for a small business the boss in question is actually a great dude but
like all bosses he's under a ton of stress and has his moments
this particular piece of compliance revolves around a nail gun in use in the
warehouse don't worry no idiots were harmed in the writing of the story so
every afternoon we have pretty large shipments getting sent out everything
sold for the day would be popped on the pallets and shipped off to customers
now pallets are surprisingly expensive and if not sized properly cost a fortune
extra in Freight so we eventually started making our own in order to fit
the size of the products being shipped using the previously mentioned and nail
gun to put them together all was going well until the delivery guy told us that
and I quote those freaking pallets of yours are shoot and keep falling apart
stop using the freaking nail gun and put
them together properly we looked into it
and he was 100% right see the nails from the nail gun were super small thin and
couldn't grip for shoot the warehouse manager could actually pull the pallets
with his hands so yeah not good it was reported to the admin folks upstairs and
the show went on from that point on we started using normal nails instead yeah
it took longer but we were still saving money and the delivery folks were
happiest clams now for the turn one Friday late in the afternoon the boss
comes down and lets us know the sales team has just landed a bigan we need
some pallets Louds I want to ship this afternoon grab the nail gun and throw
some together ASAP no problem I'll get on it now boss goes back upstairs and I
begin belting pallets together using normal nails
five minutes later boss comes back down and he is fuming
Oh P I can see you on the cameras what the heck are you doing hammering the
pellets of boss as you said I said to use the darn nail gun well I would but
when we used it last time no buts we bought that nail gun now you better
bloody use it in fact I'll show you how Boz man takes the nail gun and slaps
together a pallet in 20 seconds flat normally takes about three to four
minutes by hammer there see now do it the right way or go home
yes boss and so begins our compliance I pick up the nail gun and smash out five
fragile pallets in the space of about three minutes exactly the same way the
boss man did which I'm okay with it's a ton easier Oh while my co-workers
giggled with glee [ __ ] shipping time I
realized just why they were all giggling all the other four club users are out
for the rest of the afternoon with local deliveries sickness and general excuses
the only person with a fork licence whom was going to have to load the truck was
you guessed it boss man so boss man picks up the first pallet and is about
to load it onto the truck when the pallet is hit by a stray breeze and
proceeds to fall apart on the forks the delivery guy says the fur did I tell you
about those pallets are you idiots using that nail gun again boss stammer saying
we needed them sent this afternoon and the nail gun should have done the job I
don't bloody care I cannot take any of the pallets you've built with that nail
gun if they fall apart in our position and damage something or someone it's a
bloody nightmare do them again and I'll pick them up tomorrow and with that
parting gift and his own act of compliance the delivery driver keeps to
his word closes the truck and drives off without our shipment the boss sits in
silence contemplating the thousands of dollars in product which has now
experienced a nice big shipping delay did I mention this was Friday Opie yeah
boss retire the nail gun and sorry about earlier
don't worry about it want a hand getting these all back inside yup and if you've
got some time before closing I would appreciate some fresh pellets as well on it
I'll have them knocked up in a bit and the nail gun was never heard from again
don't you all enjoy a happy ending although the bossman forced the use of
the nail gun it was pretty good to see at the end that he was really reflecting
on the poor decisions being made and even apologized to Opie so I would say
no harm no foul in the story most likely besides of course the thousands of
dollars of shipments getting delayed but sometimes that happens I guess a simple
malicious compliance for my brother who wanted his drink to be not so cold so my
brother and I are eating lunch at a restaurant our friend works at the
friend is our server and grabs us drinks my brother being his usual smart but
self says his coke is too cold and asks for it to be warmer our server also a
widely known smart but says ok and takes his coke to the back he comes back to
the table with my brother's drink in a huge smile and says that should be warm
enough my brother took a sip and spit it out
friend had a microwave the coke for two minutes
lesson learned for my brother there's always a bigger fish unless the drink is
literally at like borderline freezing who's gonna complain that a drink is too
cold even borderline freezing is probably ok this right here is a perfect
example of a jokester getting choked back even harder world's worst in voice
enjoy the extra charge I worked as an accountant for a company that Auto
charged a monthly for the use of their product part of my job would be to
respond to customers who had questions regarding their invoices or credit card
charges these emails would be delivered to a general accounting email address so
my co-workers and I could tackle them together one day an email arrives to the
subject line world's worst invoice oh how excited I was to open this beauty of
a complaint the guy proceeds to go all caps throughout the email about how bad
our invoices are and what the heck is he even being charged for he was gracious
enough to attach a screenshot of the invoice itself turns out he was
referencing the credit card receipt in his email being the thorough and
diligent accountant I am I wanted to ensure he was being charged correctly I
popped into the system to discover that he was actually
being undercharged Oh No I corrected his account to confirm he to be charged
correctly going forward I crafted my reply email thank you for pointing out
the error in our system without your email the incorrect charge would have
gone unnoticed please note that the attachment you provided was of our
credit card receipt you may find your actual invoice attached for your
reference your invoice will include the additional charge of $80 next month for
the additional users that were incorrectly charged for previously I
never received a reply so to be fair I kind of understand if it wasn't clear
what he was being charged that somebody would be upset with the invoice that
being said I don't agree with sending the world's worst invoice email and all
caps and all that stuff obviously getting upset like that is not
the answer asking to clarify that's acceptable and unfortunately in this
situation it ended up being not the best thing to have done for this guy no
exceptions game on haven't about nine years ago me
a band director at Middle School in a large urban school district in USA in
fourth year of my first job principal mostly good dude but Perona making up
asinine policies that everyone has to follow in order to appear fair my first
gig is a teacher my principal that had a bad habit of making new policies that
were great for core language arts math science social studies teachers bub
requiring electives art music PE shop etc teachers to follow them as well even
though it made no sense to do it's annoying and I don't take kindly to
being told to follow dumb rules for the sake of appearing fair I also hate the
hypocrisy of being told to differentiate my lessons to accommodate different
learners and then not being given the same professional courtesy from my boss
in this particular case we're at a whole
staff meeting and principal decrees that when students get into trouble and our
place into in-school suspension a form of punishment in which they are confined
to a small classroom sitting all day do their schoolwork and aren't supposed to
interact with anyone except the teacher in charge of in-school suspension their
teachers shall send the exact same they would be doing in their regular
classroom that day had they not been in in-school suspension you see most
teachers had a stack of busy work for students in in-school suspension since a
student usually needs to be present for the learning portion of a lesson in
order to complete the Associated assignment / homework students would
then return to the class the day after in-school suspension and be a day or
more behind and principal thought that the best way to solve this issue was to
have students complete the same work their non in-school suspension confin'd
classmates were completing without the benefit of you know actually being
taught how to do it it may work sometimes but I immediately thought it
was a dumb policy especially since my classes play musical instruments which I
presumed would be rather disruptive to the quiet environment they tried to
cultivate down in in-school suspension so back to the staff meeting after
principal makes his promulgation a few he and shoot up presumably from folks
with the same reservations as mine but a principal is having none of it
no exceptions he declares I know it's only a matter of time before I'll have a
student in in-school suspension so I make my plan I'll find out if there will
in fact be no exceptions nary a week later it happened I arrived to work to
find an email that my student whom we'll call Jose has been placed in in-school
suspension please send down the work you'll be doing in class today
no exceptions game on I grabbed Jose's saxophone and music
folder and stroll into the in-school suspension room I tell the teacher in
charge which pieces we would be rehearsing that day and even left a list
of instructions on which sections were most in need of work etc the teacher in
charge to look like a deer in headlights and my only true regret is that she was
collateral damage in my little crusade whatever if she has to help students
with all the subjects music should be no exception I head back to my classroom
and plan the rest of my lessons for the day at lunch I notice an email from my
principal that simply reads Oh P please see me in my office I had a bit of time
so I head on down there here's a recap of our conversation do you think you're
funny I'm not sure what you mean narrator he knew exactly what principal
meant why would you send a saxophone to in-school suspension Jose needed it to
complete today's lesson why wouldn't you just send written work in-school
suspension is supposed to be quiet well I was going to ask at last week's
meeting if that's what I should do but you said no exceptions and since today
is a playing day in seventh grade band I sent the exact work we would be doing
in class principal looks like he may have an aneurysm well clearly electives
are an exception so to be clear I should send written work to students in
in-school suspension from now on even if that's not what we're doing in class
that day yes that's what I just said got
it anything else no please leave yes sir leaves hiding a poop eating grin hole
electives Department got an email that day from principal explaining that work
sent to in-school suspension should be work that can be completed independently
and quietly notably there was no line that said no exceptions if you're
managing the workers under you and you're being extremely strict and you're
saying no exceptions don't be surprised when some wacky weird or otherwise
inconvenient things happen because you're giving people no leeway to do
anything that's actually right no food upstairs okay then so this story isn't
anything too big or dramatic but I thought I'd share my step-dad knows I
bring up food in my room to snack on while doing work for college etc he's
usually asleep when I grab a bite to eat though my mother is also aware of this
and she's fine with it anyway I've been really into Nic Cage movies lately I
know I have a poop taste in movies leave me alone and so I made myself some
popcorn or about an hour before stepdad goes to bed it went like this
me and stepdad on couch watching movie what the heck are you doing making
popcorn where do you think you can eat that popcorn huh with Nic Cage haha and
what makes you freaking think you're allowed to bring foot up there who told
you that you could this isn't news to him he just likes to idiot me out mr.
cage of course stepdad getting sick of my light-hearted joking
not freaking allowed to bring foot up there so you better get comfy malicious
compliance begins I bring my laptop downstairs and sit at the table clicking
on my movie without earbuds mom and stepdad stare at each other in disbelief
mouths a geek before my mom asks what the heck I'm doing oh I'm watching the
movie since I can't eat upstairs do you have earbuds or something yeah
what the Freak we're trying to watch something me too and no I don't I
totally do I just felt like being spiteful since he's yet again
complaining at me for some random bull I continue to watch my movie as they
stared in frustration bickering about how I'm being too loud and disrespectful
by shrugging to lower it lowered by one tell me again
lowered until it's almost muted stepdad continues - idiot at me so I get up and
go into the other room in sit on his big fancy desk chair with greasy little
fingers maybe I took it a little far but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't sick of
him complaining at me just because he's having a bad day so I don't see what's
the bad thing about taking food upstairs it's one thing if they're notably messy
like if they're obviously messy they are going to make a huge mess they have
their greasy little fingers touching all over everything
then I understand trying to be a little restrictive with that Opie hasn't said
that they felt that way though so what I understand why you're being so
restrictive about it what's wrong with taking food upstairs I just don't
understand but with that being said that's all the time we have for today

my narcissistic mom Uninvited me to her wedding because I looked like my father
and her boyfriend didn't like it that's how she lost all her children I 15 F and
my mother's only daughter whom she has from her previous marriage she has three
children the rest being 18 16 boys this is important to know last week my mom
was talking with one of her friends about the color she wanted the
bridesmaid dresses to be my mom had been planning this wedding with her new
boyfriend for the past two months or so they have been engaged for about one
year the wedding is in December and on the day before my birthday me and my mom
have been planning a party for me around the same time she was for the wedding
she insisted it was all right and that her boyfriend and she would go on their
honeymoon the next day while she was talking I asked her when we were going
to look for my dress since she had asked
me to be the flower girl I could see the dis appointed look on her face when I
asked her which confused me she responded only a few minutes later and
said we'll talk about it later a few hours later my mom came to me I thought
she was going to talk about the dress situation but instead she sat me down
and explained how her new boyfriend thought it would be a better fit for
their three daughters to lead the wedding whatever I was cool with that
but it's important to note that my mom has always wanted all girls I was a girl
but I looked too much like my father which caused a strain in our
relationship my dad explained to me how my mother had postpartum when she had me
and just couldn't connect with me because of it so when she gave birth to
my three younger Step Brothers who all looked like her triplets 6 years old she
was obviously Overjoyed it hurt to see but I was happy for her my brothers had
a similar experience but were significantly better because they looked
more like her I know this is an overly dramatic thing to say but sometimes I
feel like my mother didn't feel as connected with me at Birth because I was
a let down right out of the gate after she was done I asked her again about the
dress because I still didn't have one again that same disappointed look on her
face came before she told me I wasn't invited to the wedding simply because
her boyfriend thought I would upset his family because I was from my mom's
previous marriage and he didn't like my dad she also explained how my birthday
isn't happening either due to him wanting to go on their honeymoon right
away it turned into a screaming match with me yelling I'm sorry I don't look
like you enough for you to love me I'm sorry you were too conceited for you to
get over the fact that I look like my dad I was kicked out by her boyfriend
within the same hour because she had cried to him about what I said all my
brothers know what happened and have now refused to go to the wedding which
upsets her even more though I don't care about how she feels right now my
brothers had an actual relationship with her and I probably just messed it up by
letting my anger get the best of me a edit I live with my dad fulltime there
isn't any custody agreement that I know of I usually visit my mom on my own free
will or when she asks me to come over so I'm not obligated to go over there my
parents were only married 2 years prior to having my my second brother divorcing
after his birth they dated after the divorce as a way to make up with each
other but it didn't work out but they had me edit all my brothers are full
blood the girls my mom had are half blood I said step because I don't
consider them to be related to me because I've never been in the room with
them for more than 5 minutes due to my mom not allowing it my brothers were
only invited because her boyfriend actually likes them and and his family
getting pissed that I'd be there was an excuse to exclude me I honestly don't
care anymore about the situation seeing as how my brother's got my back as for
my dad he's been threatening to call CPS but I've talked him out of it because I
don't want to get the three girls involved despite there being no
relationship update this is going to be a long post so here is the tldr my mom
tried guilt tripping me and lost all her kids in the process a video of my post
showed up on my mom's phone today which resulted in her showing up at my dad's
house unannounced my dad only allowed it
because he thought being closer would be the best thing for me right now because
he knows I'm over my mom we had a nice long chat about how sorry she is for
making me feel bad and how she wishes to make things right with me I didn't say
more than a word to her the whole time but she didn't notice because she liked
hearing the sound of her own voice needless to say it ended with her
hugging me thinking she won but instead it turned into me deciding to never
speak with her again I'm not going to go into detail about everything she said
but this is what stuck to me he said sorry for not being close but turned it
on me saying I never made an effort he said sorry for not talking to me until
now about what happened but called me immature for posting about it online
kind of fair she told me she would never love a man more than me but would make
more sacrifices she told me a phone works both ways last but not least she
said she was sorry but until things calm down with her husband I was going to
have to get my stuff from her house and stay with my dad while she was talking
she also told me a long story about how she knew it was wrong to uninvite me and
cancel my birthday but her boyfriend made her she said she wanted to
contribute but said it was me or him guess who she chose everything she said
to me kind of made me realize how I was wasting my time ever being in her life I
realized she created so many issues for me growing up and it was all because I
never got an answer as to why she never liked me while I did get love and
support from my dad and brothers I felt like I was missing something by not
getting the same from my mom the thing that makes this worse is that by doing
this I'm losing the ability to ever receive those things but it's for the
best since my mental health has suffered enough after she left I found out from
both my brothers that she tried talking to them also my second oldest brother
told me he only let her get about one paragraph in before silently leaving the
room when she came to me she also tried talking to my oldest brother by showing
up at his apartment without telling him she banged on the door for like a good
20 minutes and only left until someone threatened to call the police
it's funny how desperate she gets when she knows she messed up anyway drama
happened between my dad and me a few days ago that I'm just hearing about
from him my mom's boyfriend threatened to sue him for custody of my brother
because he couldn't keep true family apart if that's not funny enough my dad
told him to go right ahead because I'm sure the court would side with a
convicted drunk driver I'm not sure if that's true but from what my dad told me
the boyfriend hung up immediately anyway that's it for now and thank you all for
the support Second Story my fiance left me after he found out I had a gang dang
I've been with my fiance for 2 years and engaged for two months I can go on and
on about how great he is but I won't waste your time he's awesome he and my
sister's boyfriend have gotten really close over the past year and they talk
at least twice a week whether on the phone FaceTime or just hang hanging out
with all four of us sister has been with her boyfriend since high school so
obviously her boyfriend knows me very well as well as my dating history last
weekend because of the quarantine we all thought it would be fun to drink and
hang out over FaceTime it was a FaceTime double date and we all had a blast
laughing and playing drinking games we all partied for over an hour and that's
when I was over it and decided to leave the party to call my sister directly
without the boys in another room my fiance and her boyfriend stayed on
FaceTime and continued to get drunk together during this time I couldn't
hear us HT because I was in another room and was talking to my sister her
boyfriend goes and tells a bunch of stories about my college days and how
many guys I hooked up with just so everyone knows I don't know the actual
number my first three years of college were literally one giant party without
being too descriptive I admit I was excessive but at the time it was just
what we did I was single during that time and I and my friends did a lot with
a slot of guys most of them I couldn't even pick out of a lineup but again I
was in college anyway at one of the parties I went to I ended up hooking up
with four different guys at the same time this is relevant later my fiance is
handsome as F and I know for a fact that
he's been with several women we talked a lot about our past at the beginning of
our relationship I wasn't 100% honest with
mine and I can only assume that he was after everyone hung up me and my fiance
were laying in bed and about to go to sleep when he just calmly asked me did
you get gang danged in college my response was WTF why would you ask that
that's when he told me everything that my sister's boyfriend told him
he told me details I'm not even sure are
100% true because again blurry but a lot of the information was accurate so I
just told him yes it was one time he continued asking questions about the
other stuff but the gang dang thing kept coming up and he had a lot of questions
about it that I answered to the best of my knowledge fast forward to Wednesday
things had been fine and normal on Monday but on Wednesday there was radio
silence he hasn't texted or talked to me
in 3 days the breaking point was tonight
when he came home from work and asked me are you friends with any of the guys on
Facebook again not lying to him I admitted that yes I was friends with all
of them he left a few hours ago and I have no idea where he is or what he's
doing I'm tempted to call the cops but I
feel like that will just make it worse I feel like garbage i f hate my sister's
boyfriend right now but maybe it's not even his fault maybe I should have been
more honest I'm so lost he is the best thing to ever happen to me and I've
never seen him like this before is this the end he refuses to return my calls or
texts relevant comments from Opie I told him a lot of stuff that I did I happen
to leave the worst part out does everyone's husband or wife know every
single partner they each have yet yes there was a lot of stuff he asked about
all of it and I answered everything the only thing that he kept coming back to
and asking questions about was the worst part update this is the second time I'm
updating because my first one got deleted he eventually came back in the
middle of the night and we talked until the morning we both agreed that he needs
to distance himself from the relationship while figuring stuff out he
admitted the only thing he cared about was the G gang dang and he told me he
couldn't get the visual out of his head he then told me about a three sum he had
in college which I think is totally made up and he just wanted to get a rise out
of me but who knows it just sounded so unbelievable and it felt like he was
trying to get back at me we did make love before we went to sleep but it was
not good and by not good I mean he felt like he was just trying to punish me
once again everything was weird from the kissing to the ending being vague here
because this part is probably what got my post deleted last time he left in the
morning to go stay with his parents and I haven't seen him since we still text
every day but it's different everything is different and at this point I'm
almost positive we aren't going to get married and again at this point I'm okay
with that I know I messed up and I know I lied and all I can do is live and
learn as soon as this qu quarantine ends I plan on using my work program that
helps people find therapists it's part of my benefits and I've never used it
before and I'm legitimately excited to start working on myself for the future
whatever may happen between me and him now to everyone who left me nice
messages I couldn't reply to you all so I'm just saying thank you for your help
and your advice none of you know me and you are all awesome and I wish everyone
nothing but the best to the people who left me horrible messages yes I read all
of them no your names do not hurt me I am not perfect and never claimed to be
and I know I have a lot of work to do but I hope all of you have happiness in
your perfect relationships with yourself and good luck with everything also I
just want to point out that there was some confusion about who I was friends
with on Facebook it was just the four guys from the gang bang that I was
friends with not every guy I'd ever been
with and I've since deleted every single one of them again my fup live and learn
relevant comments from op I have over 3,000 friends on Facebook I don't talk
to or interact with 99% of them I admitted I messed up and it's not like I
was checking their post very stupid you're right if only every 19-year-old
girl could be so smart and always do the
right thing thank you for your comment I wasn't staying in touch I hardly ever
check my Facebook I have thousands of friends on there I don't even know what
they are up to or what they are doing but I admit I messed up I understand all
the points of view here it's possible he is not the one there is someone out
there who won't judge me for my past and that's who I will find thank you for
your comment you nailed it back in the day you used to accept anyone and
everyone as a Facebook friend nowadays I literally go weeks without so much as
even opening the app thank you I'm not going to cut contact we still text every
day and believe it or not no matter if he doesn't want to marry me he's my best
friend I messed up but that doesn't mean he automatically stops caring about me
thank you though undone lying whether admission or Omission I won't be dating
anyone for a while until I do some work on myself thank you for the comment

AI t for not giving my baby the father's last name long story short I 30f was
with the father 31m head over heels in love with him and we planned
childrenlife together the whole nine but 5 days after we discovered I was
pregnant he dumped me and hasn't really been involved since when I asked what
happened and what changed all I got was life happened I don't know what that
means and I don't really care to anymore I've seen him twice since we found out
in November 23rd and the baby is due in July 24th I invited him to my last
ultrasound which is the second out of two times and he surprisingly showed up
we were on okay terms he asked me if I had any names picked out for the baby
and I told him my options which included
my last name and he said wait you're not giving the child my last name my
response was one we are not married and two he hasn't been there for me through
this pregnancy at all he ignores SLG gives me the silent treatment me for
week SL a month at a time his response was marriage has nothing to do with it
and he has been preparing for the baby if I knew how I would say but I guess
stocking up on Pampers but me not giving his last name is crazy I believe that
marriage does play a big role in the child's last name not that | give me a good story on AITAfornotgivingmybabythefatherslastname |

aita for telling my wife she's a childish horrible human being for not
wanting my family to come over to our home after my mother's celebration of
life my wife 37f and I am 39m built a new home and moved into a really nice
neighborhood about 7 months ago she's a stay-at-home mom we have three kids
she's white and I'm Mexican both were born in Dallas Texas we both are from
the same suburb and we met After High School she loved my family and my family
loved her when we first got together she was 17 and I was 19 her mom and dad
kicked her out because they didn't want her to date another person of A
different race it's all good now her parents admitted they were wrong and I
love her parents and they love me and are children at that time I was living
at my parents still had my own job car and paid rent my parents heard of her
getting kicked out and they offered for her to move in with us rentree my mother
and father loved her and took her in as one of their own I have three sisters
who were all married at the time and we were always hanging out with my family
at one of my sister's houses or my parents house we were always together
and everyone got along as time went by I started to make more money and we were
able to buy our first house together and finally moved out after living with my
parents for almost 4 years we had our first child a son a year later which is
when her parents finally accepted me and then our twin daughters 5 years after
that right before our Twins were born I landed a great job made much more money
than we had been making and I was able to buy a nice house in a country club
where we lived for another 5 years after those 5 years I landed another job in
the same industry but had a much higher salary that job allowed us to build a
brand new home and move to a very nice Community with better schools which we
just moved into about 7 months ago this is a pretty wealthy community homes here
are valued at a million plus the reason I even bring all of that up is because I
started to notice my wife started to change towards my family when I started
to make more money I should make it known also that the town we lived in
where we met was a pretty small town with low to Middle income families her
family was better off than mine was though and although they weren't wealthy
they were hell of a lot better off than my family was my parents house was very
small and modest I didn't grow up with much and we were relatively poor as a
kid growing up for the past 2 years she completely changed she acts like she
doesn't want our children to hang out with their cousins my sister's kids she
absolutely hates when they come over as a result I can't invite my family over
anymore without her turning her nose up at it she gets very upset when I tell
her I want them to come over on the weekends to hang out like we used to she
barely wants my parents to come over and when they would come over she was very
standoffish and rude it was very embarrassing she would tell me that she
just her heart on her sleeve and that's why she acts the way she acts my parents
and my sister still live in that same little town where my wife and I met and
they still live in their small modest homes they don't have high paying jobs
I've been very blessed with my jobs and I'm able to provide my wife and kids
with more than anyone thought I could even myself I'm pretty sure I make more
than her parents and all of her siblings as well the only reason I bring that up
is because she feels like we can only hang out with her family she acts like
her family is better than mine she's okay with them coming over as much as
they want and our kids can hang out with her sister's kids it's like she thinks
her family is it just better I still consider myself the person that I was
back then and I was taught to treat people with respect always no matter who
they are but my wife acts like she's better than everyone now like she's
better than my family and she acts like our kids can't hang out with my sister
kids because they might be bad influences my sister's kids are all good
kids by the way she's even stopped talking to her childhood best friend
from the same town where we are both from my mom passed away suddenly last
month and I was devastated she was very supportive and loving to my family for
about a week after her death and then she went right back to her normal rude
self my mom was cremated so we had her celebration of life just this past
Friday I wanted all of my family to come to our house after my mother's service
since I have the bigger house out of all of my siblings and I knew I could host
that many people since there were relatives coming in from out of town I
was already nervous about what she was going to say when I told her my plans
and as soon as I did she blew a gasket she said absolutely not and that we
should do whatever we're doing at one of my other sister's house I was on a
business trip when I told her about me wanting my family to come over so we
were primarily arguing over the phone and via text I finally told her that I
thought she was being so heartless and insensitive about the whole situation
after her insisting several times that my family was not coming over I finally
put my foot down and told her I wasn't asking her but that I was telling her we
were going to do it at my house she was Furious fast forward to the day of the
service and she wouldn't talk to me all day I spent most of the day preparing
and cleaning our home to get it ready for our guests and she hardly helped me
do anything she hugged me at the end of the service that evening but I think it
was simply for show because she knew other people were looking after the
service everyone came to our home I was walking around the whole time attending
people and making sure everyone had what they needed every time I walked by my
wife she gave me a dirty look and it was embarrassing because I didn't want
anyone to notice her giving me those looks I was afraid it would make people
feel awkward and want to leave I ignored her and didn't make a contact for the
rest of the night as it got later most people started leaving but a few of my
close cousins and my sister stayed and we were all hanging outside in my back
patio having drinks and enjoying being with each other she of course made it
known she was going to bed and she kept texting me and telling me to be quiet
and that no one was to stay the night I will admit we stayed up late it was
about 3:00 a.m. my children had went to bed upstairs at like as well as
her but we were outside my kids were not being bothered she was not being
bothered no one was being very loud and as I said it was just family and it was
a Friday night she doesn't work and my kids had no school the next day all of a
sudden she comes out of our bedroom and just awkwardly stares at everyone from
the doorway it made everyone feel UNC comfortable and so everyone got the hint
and left the whole time she just stood there with her arms crossed just tapping
her foot it was so awkward and embarrassing the next morning I told her
she was a childish horrible person I still haven't spoken to her and it's now

AIT ta for wanting to leave my husband because he refused to give me a massage
I know it sounds ridiculous but hear me out we've been married close to 10 years
and in our mid-30s he struggles to express his feelings fine wants to watch
TV all day fine doesn't like to talk making me feeling lonely fine the one
thing that I've always been so anxious about though is him not being there when
I really need him when he fractured his ankle over a year back and took time off
work I went straight into nurse mode and did all I could to be there for him and
ensure he was relaxing whilst I watched our small child battled Co and looked
after him at 8 months pregnant somehow I got through that period I don't expect
him to show any appreciation but I should at least be able to count on him
when I need him 2 days ago I woke and stretched my back and felt a sudden pain
the pain was bad my lower back was fine but from the back of my neck and between
my shoulder blades it's been hell Daye three and it's even worse I can barely
move my neck or turn or lie in bed I'm guessing I've pulled a muscle but the
pain is so intense with just even me sitting up it seemed to have got worse
when I stood up last night for a good amount of time cooking I have small kids
to look after and I don't know how I'm supposed to manage like this | give me a good story on AITAforwantingtoleavemyhusbandbecauseherefusedtogivemeamassageorig |

aita for telling my sister that IDC about the baby she lost I 20m and my
sister 23 have been very close since she lost her baby she lost the baby at the
end of 2022 when she was about 5 months pregnant obviously our whole family was
shocked and very supportive initially however I really tried to help her
through this and get her back on her feet coming to her apartment to clean
and cook her food it also doesn't help that her baby daddy left shortly after
my sister was unable to work because of her depression so my family would help
chip in and pay her bills she remained like this for about 7 months when my
parents told her that they couldn't no longer support her when all she does lay
in bed and smoke a lot like 24/7 but they don't know that and that she at
least needs to look for a job she lashed
out and said she needs their support now more than ever regardless of them I
began to solely supporting her mind you I still live with my parents and
attending school that brings us to Last Friday I have about three semesters left
of school and money has been getting tight I told my sister that I really
need to start saving and that she needs to get a job or just move back in she
lashed out on me saying that I could never understand 100% true and that I
was a terrible brother for even mentioning it I said excuse me I've
paying for your bills for over a year and have been the only one trying to help | give me a good story on AITAfortellingmysisterthatidcaboutthebabyshelostorig |

:05.640 --> :11.940 (I'm not an English-native speaker, so my
apologies for any mistakes) I worked for a
:11.940 --> :16.380
large multinational company some years back in
the logistics industry and I did a lot of my
:16.380 --> :21.300
work on the computer. Due to that I developed
a small infection in some small joint in my
:21.300 --> :26.220
wrist due to using the normal mouse provided by
IT. I asked my boss if I could order a vertical
:26.220 --> :30.780 mouse to relieve the pain in my wrist and
I was thinking company would provide it. My
:30.780 --> :36.540
boss referred me to our local HR (from heck).
Manager of the HR was called, behind her back,
:36.540 --> :42.780
grim reaper and she surely lived up to the nick
name. Got a message from HR that the ONLY way to
:42.780 --> :48.420
get another kind of mouse is to go through company
mandated Healthcare provider and to get a referral
:48.420 --> :54.540
from there. Thought it was stupid because vertical
mouses costs like 20-50€ and going to healthcare
:54.540 --> :59.940
would surely add costs to that. But let's do what
the HR tells you, since they know better, and
:59.940 --> :04.080 obviously don't care about money. (I'll add
the costs of everything to prove my point.) :04.080 --> :10.080
Cue malicious compliance and made the reservation
to meet our doctor(200€). She ordered some
:10.080 --> :16.260
x-rays(300€) and send me to to get instructions
and training exercises from company's dedicated
:16.260 --> :23.640 physiotherapist (3*100e). Went back to the
doctor on a separate meeting( another 200e)
:23.640 --> :30.900
and she forwarded me to some hand surgeon(450e)
for another opinion. Hand surgeon was kind enough
:30.900 --> :38.520 to inject some cortisone (100) to my aching
wrist and gave me one day sick leave ( 300e) to
:38.520 --> :43.800
recuperate from the injection. Spent that fishing
and enjoying the nice summer weather. After going
:43.800 --> :49.800
through all the hoops to get the referral for the
mouse, it took HR about 2 months to instruct IT
:49.800 --> :54.780
to deliver me the mouse. The cortisone actually
helped and I didn't have any use for the vertical
:54.780 --> :59.640
mouse, otherwise I would have ordered it myself.
I just used the two months to remind my boss about
:59.640 --> :06.540 the mouse on regular basis and asked him to
contact HR about it. It took close to 2000€
:06.540 --> :12.120 to go through HR mandated route to get the
relatively cheap mouse. But hey, everything
:12.120 --> :16.860
has to be done by the book, right? Here's the
kicker, immediately after I received the mouse,
:16.860 --> :21.780 I gave my two weeks notice. My resignation
and the mouse were totally unrelated, :21.780 --> :27.720
but I sure made HR and my boss to think that it
was all about the mouse. I was one of the most
:27.720 --> :33.360
valued employees in our company, so me leaving
sure did sting them a bit. It never fails to
:33.360 --> :38.580
amaze me how stupid big corporations are when
it comes to providing employees with necessary
:38.580 --> :17.520 tools to ease their job. Back Story:
:22.140 --> :27.480
I used to work at for one of the world's largest
technology firms, as an on-site consultant. We
:27.480 --> :32.340 had one of the best banking products which
was sold globally. As a consultant, I had to
:32.340 --> :37.260
keep many people happy in the process. There were
offshore development team who write the software
:37.260 --> :43.220
(which I am part of as well when I am not on site)
, client-side manager and their IT side people. It
:43.220 --> :48.420
is very difficult position but thanks to my mentor
I had very good experience in handling them. :48.420 --> :52.620
Our work involved lot of things
from training IT people to setting :52.620 --> :56.700
up the product in entirety make it stable and implement customizations.
:56.700 --> :02.400
I have been sent to different city on project
to one of a pesky client. To make it live,
:02.400 --> :07.500 we had to move a village, just 4 of us
had to struggle and against all odds we
:07.500 --> :12.060 made it Live. This information spread to
others in the company and soon were put in
:12.060 --> :16.320 various projects as we proved ourselves
in what we do. Thanks to my mentor, :16.320 --> :21.780
I managed to pick up some of the key skills which
are never implemented before. I had the knowledge
:21.780 --> :26.520
apart from one other person in the company and
high-level document which has basic outline., :26.520 --> :31.680
I have decided to stay back in the same city
and took transfer. The team in that city did
:31.680 --> :36.300 not now the technology I was working on they
were working on very outdated technology
:36.300 --> :42.420 decades old. The manager ken(Male version
of Karen) Wanted to micromanage everyone. :42.420 --> :47.640
He doesn't value what people are putting
up onsite or offshore, when he is onsite
:47.640 --> :52.320
he would tell others who is on offshore isn't
worth working for and when he is offshore,
:52.320 --> :57.120
he would tell others that people world. There is
a dedicated support team who take care of sites
:57.120 --> :03.180
post live and those guys are very hardworking
and help clients and sometimes consultants to
:03.180 --> :08.220
resolve issues. My mentor trained me to share
as much as info as possible to them so that
:08.220 --> :13.020 we don't get calls in the middle of night as
well as help them as its mutual understanding. :13.020 --> :18.480
But this ego centric idiot son of bench
doesn't want to involve them and he had
:18.480 --> :22.560 called everyone in fo r meeting
and berated us for working slow :22.560 --> :28.200
etc taking to much breaks . In this country
, if I open the door dozens of engineers
:28.200 --> :33.060
will come in and I can train them easily . We
don't need you for anything. Mind your work. :33.060 --> :37.980
This ticked off many people and many have
started looking for jobs at other places. :37.980 --> :45.780
Now we got another project with the same pesky
client with another ECBSOB at client side , as
:45.780 --> :51.540 is handling them is difficult adding to that
our ECBSOB was hampering the project . With
:51.540 --> :57.540 unnecessary difficulties pulled project got
delayed and went live . In this process , I
:57.540 --> :04.080
lost my health . This ECBSOB and another ECBSOB
denied me promotion , rubbing salt to the wound
:04.080 --> :10.020
they told on my face my work isn't groundbreaking
it can be replaceable. He even told me I destroy
:10.020 --> :14.640 things which are working [on the contrary,
on-site managers, clients and people in
:14.640 --> :21.060
distress reach out to me I am their 911 I helped
the same client on dozens of critical incidents]. :21.060 --> :25.860
I started looking for a different job, I got
several as I had good hands-on experience. :25.860 --> :31.800
Around the same time, support division and my
manager had big rift. He calls his entire team
:31.800 --> :37.050
and makes it clear for everyone that we are not
support to help support people no matter what .
:37.050 --> :43.500
Only if I call you and tell then only you attend
to it. He explicitly addressed me told me don't
:43.500 --> :48.660
take crap from them and spoil your sleep , just
don't answer their call you can put you phone in
:48.660 --> :54.240
silent . I nodded my head telling yes boss. This
gave me what I needed for Malicious compliance. :54.240 --> :59.760
I got another job, accepted their offer
and put in my notice for which ECBSOB :00.300 --> :04.500
tells me what the problem and I was
told him pay was the problem. He told :04.500 --> :10.080
me he would get it sorted and get me the
pay bump . It almost 60% more than what
:10.080 --> :14.370 I was earning there and there was no way
that we aren't going to give this bump . :14.370 --> :19.680
Just as luck would have it , Production server
craps up and bank is down in the middle of the
:19.680 --> :25.020 night where they do some backend processes.
Usually support team handles these incidents
:25.020 --> :30.420 and if they aren't not able to handle it the
will call site sop , that would be me but now
:30.420 --> :37.080 its ECBSOB. While handing over the site this
SOB didn't allow me to share the necessary. :37.080 --> :42.180
I kept my phone in silent mode and slept
away , there is a feature in my phone if
:42.180 --> :48.840 someone calls for more than 5 times it will
ring. That night from 1AM to 8 AM I received
:48.840 --> :56.400
548 calls from ECBSOB and some dozen from other
numbers. I knew something was up woke up at 6 AM,
:56.400 --> :01.980 finished my workout got ready for work and
then called ECBSOB . He was up all night
:01.980 --> :07.200
and just told me some disaster has happened in
production server and things were on fire , he
:07.200 --> :12.900 told me to go to site directly . I told him
boss - I just woke up, I kept my phone in the
:12.900 --> :17.880 other room as I was not getting sleep and it
was in silent mode with huge grin on my face. :17.880 --> :24.180
I rushed to the site, the scene at the floor
where production operations and IT sits was crazy,
:24.180 --> :30.480
VP of the bank, VP of the IT services and VPs
of many people were there on the floor at 8
:30.480 --> :36.000 Am and support folks, manager everyone
were on scene. The moment they saw me, :36.000 --> :42.600
the had huge sigh of relief. By then my boss's
boss's boss and other bosses were on call and
:42.600 --> :47.520
pulled me into the bridge. I explained, what had
happened as we were told not to support or extent
:47.520 --> :52.680
help to support team. Nevertheless, I cleared
people and provided them what they need (some
:52.680 --> :57.600 needed logs , some needed some server stats)
etc and literally made some breathing room. :57.600 --> :03.240
I got to know the issue what was happening and
resolved it. It was super simple, I got the
:03.240 --> :07.800
server up and running and I took the charge of the
incident, spoke to head of support and explained
:07.800 --> :13.980
what has happened. By thing things were sorted
and higher bosses knew this ECBSOB is useless
:13.980 --> :19.140 dud when it it comes to the technology which
this site was on and waste of time and effort. :19.140 --> :22.740
Client , delivery manager and production operations manager,
:22.740 --> :25.980 VP everyone thanked me for what I have done.
:25.980 --> :32.640 Next day , ECBSOB realizes got to realize if
I am not there his upcoming 4 projects will be
:32.640 --> :37.440 screwed. He tried to arrange a promotion
and pay bump and next onsite opportunity
:37.440 --> :42.480 and arranged meeting with my bosses's boss.
They couldn't get the offer processed by my
:42.480 --> :48.540 last working day , on the last day in the
exit interview I told thing in detail to
:48.540 --> :55.380 HR . My boss's boss's boss (VP) also spoke
to me, I told him and politely declined. :55.380 --> :01.980
Later on got to know he was royally screwed
reprimanded and told to behave and all those
:01.980 --> :06.720 projects which were supposed to be under
him were given to different managers . All
:06.720 --> :11.460 in all I became sort of legend at multiple
sites and whatever little documentation is
:11.460 --> :17.640
there was drafted by me. People were happy. I
moved on and had wonderful career after that. :17.640 --> :22.200
People still recollect the help I did to them and
I keep in touch with people whom I have trained. :22.200 --> :49.140
Never put your ego first and be
helpful always. When I was younger, :49.140 --> :53.280
I worked in an office for a printing
company, my boss was notorious for :53.280 --> :58.080
his strict adherence to company policies,
particularly when it came to dress code. :58.080 --> :04.740
One day he made an announcement that all employees
must wear black footwear with no exceptions. This
:04.740 --> :09.540 rule caught my attention, and I decided to
have some fun at my boss's expense because
:09.540 --> :14.880
he really was an awful micromanaging boss, you
could never do anything right. So the next day,
:14.880 --> :20.760
I walked into the office wearing black flippers
(you know, diving flippers) instead of traditional
:20.760 --> :25.620 black shoes, which is clearly how black
footwear is meant to have been interpreted! :25.620 --> :30.900
As I made my way down the hallways, all
my colleagues couldn't help but burst into
:30.900 --> :36.660
laughter. The sight of a professional employee
strutting around in flippers was too amusing
:36.660 --> :42.420 to resist. Word quickly spread, and soon
everyone was giggling and peeking out of
:42.420 --> :48.780
their cubicles to catch a glimpse of my act of
defiance, or shall we say malicious compliance! :48.780 --> :54.840
When the boss caught sight of my unconventional
footwear, his face turned bright red with anger.
:54.840 --> :00.060 He stormed over, veins pulsating on his
forehead and everything, ready to shout.
:00.060 --> :04.140 However, before he got chance to say
anything, I pointed out that I was :04.140 --> :08.460
indeed following his policy of wearing
black footwear. I think he was close to
:08.460 --> :13.740 completely losing it because he stormed off
into his office, grunting like a warthog. :13.740 --> :19.680
Technically, I had complied with his instructions,
and there was no explicit mention of traditional
:19.680 --> :24.600 footwear in the policy. He couldn't take any
disciplinary action without seeming unfair. :24.600 --> :28.860
My colleagues found the situation
even more hilarious at this point. :28.860 --> :32.340
I got many compliments for outsmarting our strict boss.
:32.340 --> :38.280 From that day forward, my act of malicious
compliance became legendary in the office.
:38.280 --> :43.980
It sparked a newfound sense of rebellion, with
employees pushing the boundaries of the dress
:43.980 --> :50.580 code in hilarious and imaginative ways. Some
wore black sneakers with flashing LED lights,
:50.580 --> :53.400 while others donned black high-heeled slippers.
:53.400 --> :00.420
The office became a more vibrant and joyful place,
with employees embracing their individuality while
:00.420 --> :05.040 technically adhering to his directives.
The absurdity of the situation left him
:05.040 --> :09.780 fuming but he didn't want to look stupid
by changing his policy again so quickly,
:09.780 --> :13.860 it's safe to say we didn't see him in
the main office much after that day. :13.860 --> :19.800
In the end, I hoped he learned an invaluable
lesson about the importance of specifics and
:19.800 --> :24.540
clarity, while also learning that people can have
fun while working to create a better morale and
:24.540 --> :29.520 improve the workplace, but a week later he
was gone. He was replaced by a lovely lady
:29.520 --> :34.980
that found this whole situation very funny and
complimented us all on how good the morale was
:34.980 --> :58.980 here. My husband was the on call person,
from 5:30 pm to 6 am the next day on his
:58.980 --> :05.700 days off ( Saturday, Sunday, and Monday)
and 5:30 pm to 7am tues-friday.. which he
:05.700 --> :11.700
gets $20 a day just to be on call. If he had to
punch in to take a call out, it was normal pay. :11.700 --> :17.040
His work started calling him on his work phone
to answer " quick questions" On his days off.
:17.040 --> :23.520
It got to the point where the phone was ringing
3-8 times a day. I finally said, "This is your
:23.520 --> :29.640
day off. Stop answering your phone! He wasn't
being paid to do this. It took a bit, but he shut
:29.640 --> :36.000
his phone off until his on call hours. Then they
started to call his personal phone. That did it. :36.000 --> :39.960
He told the bosses that unless he
was being paid his hourly wadge, :39.960 --> :45.060
he would not answer phone calls on his off
time and to stop calling his personal phone. :45.060 --> :48.900
They got peey and decided to stop the " on call" program.
:48.900 --> :54.600
Now, when there is an emergency, the call-out
center has to call through the Seniority list to
:54.600 --> :59.880
try to find someone to take the job. The problem
is that only 4 people know how to fix certain
:59.880 --> :03.840 issues because it's an antiquated
system that is being phased out. :03.840 --> :09.420
1st guy is just biding his time to retirement,
so he doesn't take call outs. My husband is 2nd,
:09.420 --> :13.500
and he passes, #3 lives 2 hours from the garage,
:13.500 --> :18.360 and he's not going to drive that, #4
is also biding his time to retire. :18.360 --> :22.680
So, back around again. Everyone passes. 3rd time,
:22.680 --> :26.760 they can force the low petson to take
the job, but they have to pay time and :26.760 --> :33.780
1/2 plus night differential. oops, # 4 has had a drink. So, #3- No answer.
:33.780 --> :39.720 2 my hubby well, he guesses he can
take it 50+dollars an hour plus the :39.720 --> :45.840
1/2 , night differential and after 50
regular hours, he auto gets time 1/2, :45.840 --> :54.540
so he gets the extra half, on top of his 1/2,
with differential to equal about $ 130 + per hour.
:54.540 --> :58.320 They could have just given
him $20 a day to be on call, :58.320 --> :03.360
not bothered him during the day then they
would have only had to pay him normal wages. :03.360 --> :04.680

what historical fact have you learned that ruined everything you ever thought
you knew about this life there was a Spanish explorer that first visited the
Inca Empire and saw lots of prosperous cities and a great civilization and he
later told his peers about it when he returned home but when other folks went
to visit the Syed cities they found nothing but jungle and thought the
Explorer lied about a story the fact that blew my mind is that we now know
that his story was true and the people he encountered died from diseases
brought into the new world and the cities and civilization they built were
consumed by the jungle in the span of a few years | give me a good story on whatfacthaveyoulearnedthatruinedeverythingyouthoughtyouknewaboutlifeorig |

if you usually listen to me on spotify and you've not been getting my latest
episodes click the spotify link in the description so you can follow the
updated podcast feed welcome friends to another r slash malicious compliance
video today we've got a lot of awesome stories and our first story of the day
is from julian morrow you ordered it you deal with it a calculating malicious
compliance happened years ago to a colleague he needed soil for his garden
and had calculated that he needed 24 cubic meters about 850 cubic feet this
was a regular terraced house not a park or anything my guess is that he had some
50 square meters of garden and somehow wanted the soil to be 50 centimeters
deep of course the company flat-out refused to sell it to him explaining
over and over that it was way too much he didn't listen and eventually they
settled on 12 cubic meters plus the promise that he could order more if
needed one fateful day the truck arrived and my colleague finally realized how
much 12 cubic meters actually is he tried in vain to stop the delivery guy
and spent days with friends with wheelbarrows trying to get somehow rid
of everything it took quite a while before he could laugh about it i'm not
gonna lie and pretend that i would be any better as far as measuring with
volume 100 my weakest class in school was always math and when you get into
cubic in square feet cubic and square meters not gonna lie you've already lost
me are you guys any better than i am when it comes to cubic in square meters
and feet cause honestly i would be panicking if i had to try to calculate
how many cubic meters or feet my yard is
let me know how you guys would do in the comments down below our next story is
from his vera fara have fun working five jobs dm so i work at a small store my
manager quit the assistant manager got fired for stealing money two other
employees quit because of the new workload and now i'm stuck doing all of
it so i told my district manager i'll expect a temporary increase to 29 an
hour plus overtime to account for the extra work outside my job description
the amount isn't random it's the sum of mine and my manager's wages expect me to
do the work of five people pay me he says no and that i'm not expected to do
any more than my agreed-upon job description his exact words were just
keep doing your job nobody's expecting you to do the other jobs as well so i do
just that i don't do the deposits the security briefings the sales reports the
containment inspections etc all tasks that are outside my job description so
my district manager gets mad saying none of the work is done i say you told me
you were not going to approve my temporary wage increases because you
were not expanding my job tasks therefore i only did my job he threw a
fit about me obviously misunderstanding him and i stopped and told him i didn't
misunderstand you i told you i would not
do extra work without extra compensation i should also mention that i went from
working 15 hours a week to 75. he called me lazy and greedy because i just want
to make a buck um yes that is indeed how this whole employment thing works you
need job done i agree to do job for payment you pay me to do job so i quit
have fun working the entire store by yourself without overtime because you're
an exempt employee district manager well
i'll tell you one thing it's pretty easy to see why they lost so many people i
mean besides the fact that they also had just some awful people also working for
them they're definitely not going out of their way to try to retain anybody
you're so lazy and greedy for not bending over backwards for minimum pay
for me how dare you this next story is from mr sean taylor 1980. what do you
want in your coffee not my story but it happened to a friend of mine like many
canadians he worked in a famous coffee chain named after a hockey player these
restaurants can get very busy during the peak times of the day so patients can
run a tad thin in the workers my friend lived in a small town with a high
retiree population so this coffee house gave a seniors discount and the seniors
knew about it it was common that they would request their discount along with
their order to ensure they would get their discount one day a senior woman
came in during the afternoon rush and my friend greeted her as he normally did
how may i help you the old lady says i want a small coffee and my seniors
discount friend pouring the coffee into the cup says okay what would you like in
your coffee she says i want my seniors discount they say yes ma'am i'll give
you your discount how do you take your coffee the old lady getting more
demanding says i want my seniors discount friend getting exasperated says
ma'am i understand i will give you your discount but i first need to make your
coffee what do you want in your coffee she says my seniors discount my friend
had reached his end the senior's discount on a small coffee worked out to
be around 10 cents so he reached into the cash till picked out a shiny new
dime dropped it in the coffee put the lid on handed it to the old lady and said
okay ma'am one small coffee with the seniors discount he immediately went for
a break and never came back honestly i mean it doesn't excuse getting so angry
and worked up but i wonder if they were like hard of hearing or
just something was in the way that really made them misunderstand the
situation because i think we can all agree that even for an old lady this
seems like a very nonsensical reaction unless they literally interpreted how do
you take your coffee as like asking how do you want to pay for it or something
which i feel like is a stretch our next story is from swag's bags but the cheese
cup my husband's old job was extremely picky about expenses several people from
his office were sent to a half-day conference on the other side of the
state so with travel time they were allowed to claim reimbursement for lunch
they stopped at arby's i think he said and he got a couple of things off the
dollar menu fry is a sandwich drink that kind of thing and then to dip the fries
he got a 25 cent cup of cheese dip i'm sure it was plasticky and mediocre as
heck but i try not to judge the man for his taste anyway he got back and filed
his reimbursement for like four dollars several days later he was called into
accounting to explain why he thought this cheese cup was a warranted expense
as it was not part of his meal apparently the unofficial policy was
that you could reimburse a meal deal but no extras after a short argument he
convinced them to approve the 25 cents but he was politely asked not to pull
that again so naturally on any subsequent occasions they were out over
meal times he made a point to get whatever super-sized combo extravaganza
was on offer costing two to three times what he would normally order and
accounting was like yup that's the correct way to do food it's been years
and my husband still gets mad when i casually drop the cheese cup incident in
a conversation i think he has a right to
be mad darn it that is the kind of thing where you bring up and you bring back
every single moment where op just feels so justified and willing to go at bat
for that 25 cent cheese cup it's one of those situations where you're like
remember the cheese cup and their reaction has to be something like yes
it's unbelievable that they would try to shortchange me for a 25 cent of cheese
dip to this day i'll die on that hill the discussion they had over the 25 cent
cup of cheese dip cost more than the 25 cent cup of cheese dip this company
easily lost money and paid wages and time because they had this discussion
our next story is from mixed love line alcohol free alcohol this is a short one
back in the 90s i was in a club with my social circle now i'm a complete
lightweight when it comes to drinking so
i was often the designated driver in our group that is the guy who would not be
drinking that night so he could drive everyone else home on this particular
night it was one dollar pots and spirits a pot being a small beer and spirits
meaning cheap watered-down spirits with a mixer i.e bourbon and coke as i wasn't
drinking alcohol that night i walked up to the bar and asked for a coke with ice
bartender says three dollars i say but it's dollar pots and spirits tonight and
she said no that's only pots and spirits i then pointed out that i was a
designated driver and surely she understood that the postmix coke was
cheaper to pour anyway nope wouldn't budge i then asked for a bourbon and
coke with no bourbon she says no worries pours me my drink and charges me a
dollar i stared at her and she legitimately didn't seem to notice
anything wrong with the interaction honestly considering opie was a
designated driver i'm surprised to see the bartender give them a hard time from
what i've often heard if you go up to the bartender and you've mentioned that
you're the designated driver i've heard a lot of places will try to honestly
work with you some places will even give
you free drinks just imagine being stuck up that you're trying to get a deal for
a non-alcoholic drink our next story is from voodoo285
can't talk to him he's dead x's dad passed he was a good guy all about
family and making sure they were comfortable there were a few of these
things but the one for dyson care stands out small direct debit to cover the
vacuum cleaner wanted to cancel it after
he passed the agent says we can't cancel the account without speaking to the
account holder x says you can't he's dead the agent says we can't cancel the
account without speaking to the account holder x says you can't he's dead do you
want a copy of the death certificate agent says we can't receive that here
and i can't close the account without speaking to the account holder hang up
cancel direct debits specifically before the account is closed by the bank so
they get notified they write a letter to him complaining he owes them money and
will have to pay extra to continue his cover he can't he's dead well i guess
you can say there's one thing that dyson confirmed dyson sucks
our next story is from here at random give him the price he wanted i used to
work in a jewelry store one of the large chains that's slowly dying due to us
dastardly millennials not buying expensive shiny rocks every year there
was a tax-free weekend sale sales tax was 8.25 percent of the time and my
manager would just offer an even 10 off since it was a little more off for the
customer and for the sales rep the 10 discount was its own easy to click
button in our point of sale instead of manually putting in 8.25 percent every
time win-win for everyone until mr tax free walks everything is going smoothly
he picks out a nice ring and we go up to ring him up he asks about us taking off
the tax to save him some money we tell him we're doing 10 off instead of tax
free he begins to angrily demand his tax-free discount my manager quickly was
like give the man what he wants so instead of taking 10 office purchase we take
8.25 percent off he walked out very satisfied with himself and never
returned i don't know if he ever realized 8.25 is less than 10. i'm
willing to bet that this guy didn't even honestly know what the sales tax was
just that it exists like going back to when i was just a small kid i used to
take things up to the register at stores and ask them how much it would be after
tax because i wasn't able to calculate it in my little child brain i'm willing
to bet this guy just didn't even know that sales tax was 8.25 percent and just
thought they were getting ripped off this day stories from rainbows and
burgers well they didn't say i had to assign them seats in short my wedding
got hijacked ex-in-laws made me an ex-pay for a wedding filled it with 200
of their guests and left us with 30 places for my family and our friends to
share well they said i had to invite their guests they didn't say how or what
i had to do at the wedding so 200 people got slips of paper with the venue time
and date printed on them i left it to the ex-in-laws to explain what they were
invited to then i simply didn't do a seating chart for the in-laws guests and
didn't have a wedding party so they couldn't ask anyone for help so
amusingly they all turned up it was pure chaos 200 boomers all milling around
like headless chickens mom was absolutely livid with me because she
says in-laws are her people they're the same race and how could i treat her
people this way the legal ceremony had been done earlier at home so that took
one element of potential chaos out i simply shrugged and said nothing left
ex-in-laws to sort their guests out i think my paternal grandfather was
laughing i can't be sure and to top it all off my chaotic brother and his then
girlfriend decided to get the laptop and replaced the wedding music with highway
to hell and did a disappearing act honestly given that the stupid venue
manager refused to let me cancel the wedding because she wanted to help the
ex my mom took the exercise my dad got accused of being racist for suggesting
gently that perhaps the in-laws could be less heavy-handed in this matter and i
think the in-laws try to take me hostage during the wedding prep i can't find it
in me to be sorry for any of that spoiler alert i left that mess as soon
as i legally could the financial loss was ouch but it was less than if i had
outright left and i was in a much better position when i left than i was while
all that crap was going down i mean regardless of it all relatively working
out for op i mean i can't help but feel bad for them for having wasted their
money on honestly what is such a nightmare and crap show and our final
story of the day is from emperor petty airport security overdoes it my
bff and i travel on a budget and the nameless budget airline in question has
a strict one bag one personal item per person policy when you don't check a
suitcase we're on the return flight and before they even let us through to the
x-ray machines we have a security in our face telling us that we're violating
policy we each have one bag and only one of us has a personal item a tote bag
that we had on our flight there with the
same airline man's clearly got a problem and when i cite the actual policy he
insists it's a baggage item so i do what any normal person would do don the
bathrobe and cat-themed neck pillow only atoms in the bag fold up the tote
and stick it in one of our bags man still clearly needs his power trip so
now he sends us to another colleague to measure our bags they fit the
measurements perfectly and as soon as we walk through his gate and hit real
security i take off the neck pillow and bathrobe and stick them back in the bag
was satisfying to see the guy bite his tongue from the other side you gotta
love the modern airport security theater not only is it there to pretend to make
you feel safer but they're also there to give you a harder time as well but with
that being said that's all the time we have for today if you want to hear
another compliance story that was way crazier than any of the ones in this
video click on that left video or if you

:08.700 --> :13.200 I haven’t seen him in a long time and or
talked to him bc he is cut out of my life. :13.200 --> :18.840
My stepfather demanded I drop the order. The
thing is the protective order was finalized!
:18.840 --> :24.480 So he told a family member his sob story.
About how he was a good “father” to me and
:24.480 --> :29.280
it wasn’t fair that I hate him for no reason.
That I’m excluding him from my life because
:29.280 --> :34.440
he was the only one that told me no to things.
He told our family member that I was this “out
:34.440 --> :40.140
of control teenager” that I was known to “make
up stories”. That family member said I should
:40.140 --> :44.460 get the order dropped and give him another
chance and to unblock him. Then I told the
:44.460 --> :49.260 family member the whole situation and story.
She apologized for giving me any trouble,
:49.260 --> :03.540 and she said she’ll listen to my side
next time before assuming things. :04.500 --> :25.680
Unbelievable! My parents are constantly trying
to guilt me into having kids. My husband and I
:25.680 --> :30.540
have told them several times that at this point
in our lives we don’t want kids and are happy
:30.540 --> :35.520 without them. We are both very successful in
our careers and involved in our community and
:35.520 --> :40.080
my parents don’t seem to understand how hurtful
it is to act like we aren’t good enough unless
:40.080 --> :44.860
we have kids when we have worked so hard to get
what we have. They went as far as to say they
:44.860 --> :50.160
have decided to downsize their home because “there
is no point in living in a big house if they don’t
:50.160 --> :56.280
have grandkids” implying it is my fault that they
will be leaving my childhood home. Almost every
:56.280 --> :02.160
conversation I have with them goes back to “when
are you having kids?”. I am so fed up! How do
:02.160 --> :25.740
other non kid people deal with this?! After being
engaged for the last two months, I found out that
:25.740 --> :31.200
I was pregnant. Because It was unexpected and a
very personal thing for me, I decided not to tell
:31.200 --> :36.960
anyone but my fiancé until the second trimester.
We have now told family and close friends,
:36.960 --> :42.300
who have shown nothing but support and excitement
for everyone’s first grand baby. I still do not
:42.300 --> :47.940
plan on announcing my baby to the world or on
social media anytime soon, personal preference. :47.940 --> :54.420
However, last night we told my fiancés father and
to say him and I don’t have the best relationship
:54.420 --> :59.460 would be an understatement. For example
whenever my fiancé isn’t around, he’ll :59.460 --> :05.940
make statements such as ‘you have birthing hips’
and other commentary about my looks or mention
:05.940 --> :13.260
my fiancé’s ex. To top it off, when we got engaged
he didn’t congratulate us once and instead bragged
:13.260 --> :18.360
to his friends and family about how my fiancé
just got a new job and graduated from college. :18.360 --> :24.840
Last night we told him I was pregnant and he made
the ENTIRE subject about himself and my fiancé,
:24.840 --> :30.120 saying ’finally a boy to continue our
blood line’ ‘I can’t wait to watch :30.120 --> :34.920
HIM at sports practices’ we don’t know
the gender yet!! And the entire time, :34.920 --> :41.040
my FIL talked about how my fiancé is going to be
such a great father…not a single congratulations
:41.040 --> :46.560
to me. And when his girlfriend mentioned buying
baby clothes he would cut her off and say ‘yeah
:46.560 --> :52.380 with what money? My money?’ But what really
irritated me was the fact he got mad at me
:52.380 --> :56.640 for waiting so long to tell him and wanted
to know why he couldn’t tell everyone about
:56.640 --> :02.340
it and share it on Facebook yet (even texting
me about it after I left). The entire time we
:02.340 --> :07.800
were there he referred to the baby as my fiancés
and told us our lives were over and that we’ll
:07.800 --> :13.380 resent the kid. But at the same time my FIL
wants to watch the child for weeks at a time. :13.380 --> :17.880
He believes he is entitled to be in the
room when the baby is born if he wishes to,
:17.880 --> :22.800 when I told my FIL I only wanted my
fiancé in there. He told me that it :22.800 --> :26.580
wasn’t my decision and I needed to include everyone in this experience.
:26.580 --> :32.220 Let’s just say my fiancé and I have had
a long talk since then and for my sanity,
:32.220 --> :37.500 my father in law will not be seeing
me or the child for a very long time. :54.780 --> :59.220
Do anyone else feel like parents act entitled
towards how we should behave with their kids? :59.220 --> :01.644
Don't get me wrong. It is not like I am anti
:01.644 --> :05.040 social or anything. I smile to
kids and try to be pleasant. :05.040 --> :09.360
But I never feel the urge to hold
the kid. Like I literally feel like :09.360 --> :13.920
taking only one kid in my hands,
that's my niece. But before that, :13.920 --> :19.560
at every family gathering or gathering of any
sort, people would push me to take their kids. :19.560 --> :23.760
These parents asks the kids if they
wanna come with me and irrespective :23.760 --> :28.920
of answer try to hand them over. Never
asks me if I wanna take the kid. I don't. :28.920 --> :33.900
And if the kids are a little bit older,
they expect us to entertain them. As a kid,
:33.900 --> :38.400
I was repeatedly asked by parents of other kids
to play with them. Mind you, we are talking
:38.400 --> :44.700
about 10 year old me and 2-3 year old kids. And
when I refused, I was called lazy and scolded. :44.700 --> :49.380
Even now, I see parents just walking
up to me and asked to entertain their :49.380 --> :52.620
kids. Hang out with them, take care of them, etc. :52.620 --> :57.480
At this point, I am called anti social cause
I don't want to entertain kids or hold them. :57.480 --> :59.760
So I am left to wonder this. :59.760 --> :04.080
Why do these people feel it's okay to do
that? Where does this entitlement come from? :04.080 --> :08.880
I need to add that I am someone who likes
bright colours, smiles and plays a lot. So
:08.880 --> :14.400
kids actually love me. While I don't like the
attention, I still end up entertaining them so
:14.400 --> :39.120 as to not cause them disappointment. It's
the parents attitude that bothers me. I'm
:39.120 --> :43.740 28. I've lived on my own for 2 years. Just
last month I moved in with my boyfriend. :43.740 --> :48.600
My parents have always hated me not living
with them. When I moved out a few years ago,
:48.600 --> :53.160 my dad told me to stay at their house
because I wasn't ready to live on my own. :53.160 --> :56.940
When I had to move suddenly last
month they were the only people :56.940 --> :01.620
who could've helped me move. My parents
suggested a few times that instead of :01.620 --> :05.220
living with my boyfriend I could go live rent free in their house.
:05.220 --> :12.300 The thing of it is, I loathed that house.
I love my mom always and I love my dad now,
:12.300 --> :18.000 but he was abusive growing up mentally
and sometimes physically. That house is
:18.000 --> :23.160 so full of terrible memories, I cannot
live there. Also I'm a fire fighter so :23.160 --> :26.880
I have to live somewhat close to the
station to be able to respond to calls. :26.880 --> :50.700
I don't know why they're always like this. Does
anyone else have a similar problem? 🤔 My parents
:50.700 --> :56.520
live about five hours away from us by car and we
have a toddler (20 months) so as you can imagine,
:56.520 --> :03.420 we don’t take trips very often because she
absolutely LOATHES long car rides. We drove an
:03.420 --> :09.300
hour away last weekend for a family get together
on SO’s side, and we had to make a stop because
:09.300 --> :15.360
she was so upset. And yes, we’ve tried all the
things. She just hates being in the car and it’s
:15.360 --> :20.460
been this way since she was a young baby. Anyway,
my mom has been badgering us to come visit them
:20.460 --> :26.280
because “it’s our turn” since they came to us
for Easter. I on the other hand just don’t want
:26.280 --> :31.320 to because we have a lot going on and mostly
because traveling with our toddler is really
:31.320 --> :36.840
difficult. This turned into a huge argument about
how I don’t make any effort to see them and that
:36.840 --> :42.480
I’m “keeping her” from our daughter and that’s not
the case at all. I then told her that I FaceTime
:42.480 --> :49.320
almost everyday and send her numerous pictures
and videos on a daily basis so the whole “lack
:49.320 --> :54.480 of effort” argument is invalid. So of course
she brings up the fact that “I’m not the only
:54.480 --> :00.180
one who has a toddler who hates the car and that I
should just suck it up and deal with it.” Then the
:00.180 --> :04.980
argument took a turn and she started bringing up
how I didn’t do anything for her for Mother’s Day
:04.980 --> :11.040
and that I didn’t contribute to the group gift my
siblings got her (I got her something else but it
:11.040 --> :16.500
wasn’t enough) and that she was disappointed to
see that my name wasn’t on their gift. Honestly?
:16.500 --> :21.780 At this point I don’t even want to freaking
go see her because of this bullcrap. Why does
:21.780 --> :26.520
she act this way? Why the freak would I want my
daughter to have a relationship with someone like
:26.520 --> :33.060
this. It’s so disheartening. I’ll always love my
mom but I’m considering taking a step back from my
:33.060 --> :04.980
relationship with her because she clearly doesn’t
respect me. I feel so bad for that little girl
:04.980 --> :10.080
because her pants were soaking wet with pee and
the mom couldn't be bothered to take her into the
:10.080 --> :15.240
restroom. Some bystanders watching the whole event
unfold told her to take the kid in the restroom
:15.240 --> :20.940
nearby. Since she was too busy on her phone, she
pretended to be shocked as she didn't notice the
:20.940 --> :27.720
sign (in huge bold letters) for the restroom.
She told her kid to stand up and put her pants
:27.720 --> :33.360
up (she was already squatting on the sidewalk
peeing) and scolded her for acting like a dog. :33.360 --> :38.400
One old lady who called for her attention
said she shouldn't scold her child like
:38.400 --> :43.140 that as it's her fault for not putting
diapers on her (she looks like 3 or 4 :43.140 --> :48.060
years old) or tending to her needs to
pee before she busied herself with her :48.060 --> :53.340
phone. The mom reacted and screamed to "not
judge her and mind their own business". The
:53.340 --> :57.900 old lady reacted and said that if she helped
her kid to the toilet, this wouldn't happen. :57.900 --> :02.940
She viewed her kid peeing on her pants in public
because her mom couldn't take off her eyes from
:02.940 --> :08.940
the phone was an attack to her character. Yes,
it's an insult to you as a parent and as a human
:08.940 --> :15.000
being. I can't imagine letting a young child pee
herself because her mom couldn't be bothered. Some
:15.000 --> :40.620 people doesn't deserve to be parents at all.
So I was making car payments,paying insurance
:40.620 --> :45.720
premiums on a group policy. Both in my mothers
name. Car title couldn’t be transferred until
:45.720 --> :51.960 I paid the car off. Said car was damaged. EM
told me to shop around for the highest estimate
:51.960 --> :57.060
to get it repaired. So I did. The other party’s
insurance finally sent the check for the repair.
:58.020 --> :02.520
EM told me she had it (technically she was the
owner of the car at the time and the insurance
:02.520 --> :08.460 was on her group policy). Mind you I paid my
share every time the insurance needed renewed
:08.460 --> :14.220
and at the time she claimed my rates were the
cheapest on the policy. I told EM I’d have to
:14.220 --> :18.840 wait till summer to get the car fixed cause
I have children in school & they rely on me
:18.840 --> :24.840
for transportation. She assured me she has it
& wants to give it to me but first I “need to
:24.840 --> :30.420
get insurance in my name & pay off the car”. I
told her none of that “needs to be done before
:30.420 --> :36.660
the car gets fixed” but she insisted. So about
a yr goes by as I made the payments & switched
:36.660 --> :41.640 to my own insurance. Afterwards I told her
I need the repair $ to get the car fixed.
:42.420 --> :48.300 EM claimed she “doesn’t have it anymore”
after all “it’s been OVER a year” (which
:48.300 --> :53.640
means legally I can’t sue). I told her to get
the $ because she’s not entitled to it when I
:53.640 --> :59.040
made the payments. She blocked my #, threatened
to “call the police” if I show up to her house
:59.040 --> :05.580
and told me I “need mental health treatment”. How
convenient. Basically her relationships with her
:05.580 --> :10.500 own child and grandkids weren’t worth eleven
hundred bucks. That’s all it took to stab us
:10.500 --> :39.000
all in the back. This is a rant and very long
and messy so bare with me. I'm very upset. :39.000 --> :44.460
So, today was ugly. Me and my mama got into
an argument because my grandmother "who lives
:44.460 --> :48.300 with me and my husband" keeps letting
my cats out of the house. Even though :48.300 --> :52.020
I've asked her many times to please make
sure they stay in when she opens the door. :52.020 --> :56.220
When they are let out they are gone
for weeks or more at a time and come :56.220 --> :00.000
back with fleas, ear mites, and are always hungry. :00.000 --> :04.980
I noticed she had let them out today on my ring
doorbell camera on our porch. She did this while
:04.980 --> :11.820 I was at work. She 'claims' she was letting
my dog in (I have 2 cats and a dog) but my
:11.820 --> :16.380
dog was nowhere to be found on the recording and
I can see my entire front yard with the camera. :16.380 --> :21.900
Anyway, I find time to call her, upset, and
asked how she managed to let my cats out?
:21.900 --> :27.480
She yells to me to f*ck the cats over the phone
and then abruptly hangs the phone up in my ear. :27.480 --> :31.200
My mom then calls me a few minutes
later and tells me she's going to :31.200 --> :35.760
find a new home for MY cats when the
cats comes back because she's tired :35.760 --> :40.620
of the attitude I give my grandma over all
of this. She also says she's disowning me,
:40.620 --> :45.060 that I don't care about her or my
grandma and a bunch of other nonsense. :45.060 --> :49.680
Let me clarify that my mom moved out to
be with another man a few years ago and
:49.680 --> :54.840 left me to care for my grandma, I help her
get a bath, cook for her, do her laundry
:54.840 --> :00.300
etc. I also want to point out that my grandma is
slightly disabled but not to the point where it
:00.300 --> :05.160 greatly affects her life. So I've done this
for about 4 years now without saying much. :05.160 --> :09.600
I also pay all of the utilities,
me and my husband's car insurance :09.600 --> :14.220
policies (joint policy) and me and him split food costs 50/50,
:14.820 --> :20.400 and I pay 100% of everything regarding my
fur babies. The only thing I make her pay
:20.400 --> :25.800 out of her check is the mortgage (since she
lives there) her landline phone (I pay my own
:25.800 --> :30.840 cellphone bill and my husband pays his) and
all of her other bills, her health insurance
:31.380 --> :38.220
etc. The mortgage is also jointly in my name and
hers. I refinanced it last year and gave her her a
:38.220 --> :42.900
right to survivorship to the house. Meaning she's
free to live with me as long as she's alive. :42.900 --> :49.320
My mom has treated me this way my entire life
and I'm honestly so tired of her and my grandma's
:49.320 --> :54.780
mental abuse towards me. If I could afford to move
out me and my husband along with our fur babies
:54.780 --> :00.060
would be gone. I'd hate to leave my grandma when
she could use some help but the way they treat me
:00.060 --> :38.520
is horrible. I just feel so disrespected right
now. I (F22) am the only child of my parents
:40.140 --> :46.620
(M53,F50). My dad passed away 3/4 years ago. He
was the parent i was closest to. I did everything
:46.620 --> :52.980
with him and we shared the same interest. He also
TW me a lot in the name of discipline. Discipline
:52.980 --> :00.060
instrument of choice was a belt. It could be the
littlest thing from misbehavior to academics. I’d
:00.060 --> :06.180 be TW. I still loved/love him regardless.
Where i’m from (i’m not a US resident),
:06.180 --> :11.460
it’s pretty normal to discipline your child that
way. Growing up, i lived a comfortable life and
:11.460 --> :16.800
my dad did almost everything for me. My mum on
the other hand was almost never around as she
:16.800 --> :22.560 was always pursuing higher education. So we
weren’t friends and never saw eye to eye. We
:22.560 --> :27.840
spent family time together and spent time together
generally but i didn’t have the same bond that i
:27.840 --> :33.120
had with my father, with her. she would bitterly
complain to my father that he was spoiling me
:33.120 --> :38.100
and they have had a couple of fights of how he
spent on me even though they were a couple that
:38.100 --> :43.380 barely fought. I always knew deep down that
my mother and i could never ever get along. :43.380 --> :49.440
Fast forward 3/4 years ago, my dad passed away
from a liver disease brought on by either his
:49.440 --> :55.620 hypertension or diabetes. I still mourn
him till now and feel very empty without
:55.620 --> :01.260 him. He was my best friend, he just took the
wrong route in correcting me as a kid. I made
:01.260 --> :06.540 a comment before he passed away about how my
mother and i will never be able to coexist as
:06.540 --> :11.460 we were vastly different people. He passed
away shortly after and willed everything
:11.460 --> :17.040 he owned into my name. He jointly shared
everything with her so i just took his part. :17.040 --> :22.620
Now after the will is read, a probate is supposed
to be filed then we pay whatever tax we need to
:22.620 --> :28.200 pay and everything’s in my name. We got the
insurance shortly after he passed and my mum
:28.200 --> :33.720
promised to file the probate after we got it.
she didn’t. she also lied to a lot of family
:33.720 --> :38.820 members that i spent my part of insurance
when she took it and left me a measly sum
:38.820 --> :45.240
which i used for educational purposes. We also
fought nonstop after he died because one thing
:45.240 --> :50.160 i hate are lies against my name. To show you
the type of person i’m living with right now,
:50.160 --> :55.800 i once told her i wanted to start the gym to
lose weight, and she got angry and called me
:55.800 --> :00.960
an expensive girl. I kept quiet and let her rant
because that’s how everyone else deals with her
:00.960 --> :07.320
because she will not listen to you and create her
own narrative in which she’s always the victim. It
:07.320 --> :12.840
seems me not retaliating made her want to get
a reaction from me so bad that she said “i’ll
:12.840 --> :19.920
die okay. i’ll also die. you want me to die so i
can stop nagging you.” Dear reader, this was less
:19.920 --> :25.320
than 3 months after my father passed away. You can
imagine the shock on my face when she said that.
:25.320 --> :30.720
That’s just one instance where i’ve had to suffer
because she’s just a fuse waiting to blow up. :30.720 --> :36.000
Either December last year or January this
year, I asked her why we hadn’t filed the
:36.000 --> :40.500
probate yet because i didn’t feel comfortable
signing under my fathers name when we sold
:40.500 --> :45.240 properties since he’s passed. She threw a
tantrum. she claimed i was trying to take
:45.240 --> :50.760
properties from her and started to divide and
tell me what i can and cannot take from her
:50.760 --> :56.520 and what entirely belonged to her. I was in
shock. She proceeded to call my cousin and
:56.520 --> :01.260
tell her that my father didn’t even leave the
will in my name but rather just said he leaves
:01.260 --> :07.020
it to his daughter. And that if even if i put a
claim, it can be refuted since it’s not my name
:07.020 --> :12.840
on it. My full government name is on that will
and no one can claim anything from it except me.
:12.840 --> :18.540 I was so shocked when i heard this because
how can a biological mother think like this
:18.540 --> :23.580
of her child? She said other things that were
appalling that i cannot link here as it’ll make
:23.580 --> :28.860 this already long post, long. She also said
very disgusting things about my late father. :28.860 --> :33.720
Fast forward a couple of weeks later, we find
out there’s some money that we can claim from
:33.720 --> :39.180
my dads old job. Color me surprised when they
insisted we need the probate to go ahead with
:39.180 --> :46.260
filing and processing to get the money. Reader,
her attitude completely changed. Now she made it
:46.260 --> :51.480
seem as if she has always wanted the probate all
along and when we get the money she’d file for
:51.480 --> :56.820
it. I asked them again and they said we cannot
get the money without the probate and that’s
:56.820 --> :02.640
when she realized she had To get the probate to
access that money. So we started the process. :02.640 --> :10.260
For context, i tried to unalive last year and my
friends came to save me in the nick of time so our
:10.260 --> :15.660
bickering has reduced because she realized that
she’d lose her child and then people will ask her
:15.660 --> :21.000
what she did. So yesterday she said we had to meet
today for the letter that we were supposed to go
:21.000 --> :27.240
for yes last week to mail to a family member. i
told her that i had no money for transportation
:27.240 --> :34.020
and had a paper tomorrow so we should have gone
for it last week. She flew into a rage and called
:34.020 --> :40.140
me self centered and all sorts of names i’m sure
as i didn’t listen to the rest of her rage induced
:40.140 --> :46.080
voice note. i hate being called certain names and
mentioned certain things which delved into another
:46.080 --> :51.240
type of conversation which led to me reminding
her of how i’d always be beaten if i didn’t pass
:51.240 --> :57.420
my exams and that made me examination anxious and
how i’ve never shown her my results since junior
:57.420 --> :03.000 high school as i didn’t want to be punished
or shouted on. This woman completely turned
:03.000 --> :08.220
the entire thing around and said i said she and
my father were horrible and wicked parents and
:08.220 --> :12.660
the fact that they gave birth to me should have
been enough for me to forgive all the atrocities
:12.660 --> :18.360
committed against me. These are people who TW and
left marks on my body so i could tell my friends
:18.360 --> :22.980
they did it so my friends would see i’m a bad
child and not want to be friends with me anymore. :22.980 --> :29.400
The conversation just annoyed me as it was as
if i was speaking to a five year old. she said
:29.400 --> :34.800 i disrespected her by saying what i said and
continued to go on a tangent. The one thing
:34.800 --> :40.500 that would calm her heart was an apology and
she got it from me as i wanted it to end and
:40.500 --> :45.480 i thought that was the end. Reader, tell
me why i woke up to several messages and
:45.480 --> :50.160 voice notes trying to gaslight and guilt
trip me. She claims i said things i never
:50.160 --> :55.200 said and all you need to do is scroll up in
our chat to see that she’s lying. i pointed
:55.200 --> :59.940 it out and she said i’m disrespecting her by
saying she shouldn’t put words in my mouth.
:59.940 --> :05.460 I told her it’s enough and she should stop
attaching meanings to my word. she said i
:05.460 --> :11.700
implied that they’re horrible parents because
they TW meanwhile i had clarified earlier that
:11.700 --> :15.780 you can be good to someone and still hurt
them and that the fact that they were good
:15.780 --> :21.840
to me does not negate whatever was done to me.
They were good parents, but they still hurt me. :21.840 --> :27.480
I am throughly exhausted by this environment and
living with someone who can only be the victim
:27.480 --> :32.940
and not the villain. Oh i forgot to mention that
when i said stop attaching meanings to my words,
:32.940 --> :38.700
she said i was ordering her. I just want us to
finish filing this probate so i can thoroughly
:38.700 --> :44.760
speak my mind as my friends are equally tired
on my behalf and wonder why not cut her off
:44.760 --> :49.980
yet but i still need to be under her roof and
have nowhere to go. No one can live with her
:49.980 --> :24.300
but they expect me to be able to because she’s
my mother. So I (transm16) was in the mental
:24.300 --> :30.660
hospital recently and alot happened the week I was
there. I tried to overdose again and immediately
:30.660 --> :35.820
when my mom found out she said how "she should
kill herself she doesn't understand why I wanna
:35.820 --> :42.240
hurt her" Which made me shut down and unable to
cry, I mean I understand people handle situations
:42.240 --> :47.340
differently but it gets worse. At the hospital
we were waiting for me to be treated before I
:47.340 --> :52.620 go to the mental hospital and she started to
try to fight with me saying how I'm ungrateful
:52.620 --> :57.660
none of this would have happened if I'd talk to
her she doesn't understand why I wanna hurt her
:57.660 --> :03.480 ECT. I just looked down and didn't talk, she
took my phone and tried to look through it and
:03.480 --> :09.120 tried to find out if I had anyone to talk
to or friends. I put lots of locks on my
:09.120 --> :14.340
phone not because I'm hiding anything bad but
because I write my emotional state in allot of
:14.340 --> :20.460
my writing apps I draw what I feel on my drawing
app and I post it. I don't tell her about any of
:20.460 --> :26.640
this because last time she found out about how I
felt I was beaten and told I was lying, another
:26.640 --> :32.760
time I was forced to read the child named it and
told this is abuse and I shouldn't be depressed,
:32.760 --> :39.240
theses and more kinda made me shut my parents out
of my emotional state stuff. She got mad thag I
:39.240 --> :45.360
had locks and refused to open them so she threw my
phone back at me. The whole time she stayed at the
:45.360 --> :51.360
hospital she and I didn't talk again. Later that
same night I was taken to the mental hospital. I
:51.360 --> :57.720
stayed 2 days there since technically I was Baker
acted in the reg hospital too. My mom's gf visited
:57.720 --> :03.720
me because my mom was called into work, I opened
up about everything I went through and how I felt
:03.720 --> :09.060
and that I won't open up because my mom gets too
emotional and will threaten to hurt herself and
:09.060 --> :14.520
makes me feel uncomfortable it's hard to explain
but there's a lot more, and I said that my dad
:14.520 --> :20.460
isn't emotionally available he'll nod and ignore
me so I deal with it alone. When I had friends
:20.460 --> :26.640
they'd help alot but now I don't. (I secretly am
talking to 2 friends through different apps but
:26.640 --> :32.520
we rarely talk because it's so hard to) Next day
I was about to be released and I had to attend a
:32.520 --> :38.400
family therapy meeting and I was told that they
lost my dog and then my mom acted completely
:38.400 --> :44.280
different then she does at home making me look
crazy and a lier. I was released and at home I
:44.280 --> :51.360
cried so much that my dog was gone I just locked
myself away from my mom. Next day our 2nd oldest
:51.360 --> :57.540
dog died by age and I walked outside to feed her
finding that. I won't lie with all of that and
:57.540 --> :03.360
my mental health declining I just broke down and
cried the hardest I've cried in years. That night
:03.360 --> :09.540
I found my mom crying and i sat there holding her
while she cried saying how she's such a bad mom
:09.540 --> :15.360
and she never mentioned to hurt me and that my
dad caused her to hurt me. After helping her I
:15.360 --> :21.360
felt so confused and weird, like I understand my
mother and father had a very abusive relationship
:21.360 --> :27.240
I firsthand saw it each time they pulled me in the
middle of each thing, and my dad would scream and
:27.240 --> :33.300
her and she'd hit on my dad. It was very toxic
and it changed them both for the worse each time
:33.300 --> :38.940
I saw each argument my dad screaming calling her
everything you can think of and my mom hitting him
:38.940 --> :44.520
scratching him ECT. Both hurting each other but
that doesn't mean she's allowed to hurt me right?
:44.520 --> :50.460
Like everything she did to me everything that
happened she blamed my dad and how he hurt her,
:50.460 --> :56.700
that doesn't feel right to me. How can my dad make
my mom force me to babysit my siblings and clean
:56.700 --> :03.300
the house and walk back and to the store shopping
ECT? I dont understand and it made me cry,
:03.300 --> :09.780
maybe it was his fault maybe I'm just to Young to
understand. But still I remember each and every
:09.780 --> :16.320
hurtful things shes said to me saying how she
never wanted me how I was a mistake ECT how can my
:16.320 --> :22.140
dad make her do that to me? I really need advice,
I'm supposed to be getting a new therapist "the
:22.140 --> :27.480
mental hospital Gave me a address for one" but
my mom hasn't taken me to them yet. I feel like
:27.480 --> :32.280
I'll have to get my license (I'm getting it in
the summer) and I'll have to drive myself there,
:32.280 --> :38.040
she doesn't like her and I now have different
therapist, I won't lie I am happy about it.
:38.040 --> :43.320
Anyway I just am so confused now and I feel like
she's doing this again to make me sympathize
:43.320 --> :48.600
with her and push my mental health away to help
her with her own mental health and other stuff. | give me a good story on rEntitledParentsILIVEWITHANEVILNARCISSISTRedditStories |

a it ta for telling the father of my child that I won't share custody until I
know he knows how to be a father edit I'm putting this one up here because it
seems like the one at the bottom isn't being read I am going to court ASAP and
I will let them sort it out thank you all for every bit of advice you've given
it is much appreciated I'm going to start this off by saying he doesn't want
to go to court to figure this out but I will if necessary so I just gave birth
to a baby girl a few weeks ago my ex and I broke up while pregnant we argued way
too much and both agreed that kind of environment is not good for a baby so
please don't come at me for being a single mom we have been working together
as a team to be the best parents we can be regardless of the split he wants
shared custody but I'm very hesitant because he's admitted that he doesn't
know the first thing about baby I've tried showing him how to change her
diaper but it grosses him out he says he can just have his mom do it because he
still lives with her I told him that as much as I love and respect his mom it is
not her responsibility and she is not going to be the one with custody I'd
trust her with both mine and my child's life but he is the father and he needs
to know how to change her diaper another
issue is he works a lot and a lot of the time | give me a good story on AITAfortellingthefatherofmychildthatIwontsharecustodyuntilIknowheknows |

a ITA asking particularly for men's opinions as per the husband's request I
had a baby 8 weeks ago my toddler is only 1.5 yo so two under two I took 3
months unpaid maternity leave had to save up during the pregnancy to afford
it my husband didn't get any leave and had to keep working he works from home
during these 8 weeks my husband has gone out to a couple of dinners a late
meeting neighborhood committee a wedding that I had to tag along too unwillingly
at only 6 weeks after a c-section to make him happy late drinks following one
of the dinners he came home at 4:30 a.m. last week and is scheduled to go on a
bachelor trip later on that was supposed to be a weekend in New Or and is now a
4-day international trip to Jamaica he also told me about having three couples
over to our house which then turned without my previous knowledge into a 42
person get together yes you read that number right and he's telling me he
can't end that event at 7:00 so we can put the kids to bed because he can't ask
people to leave so he has not been deprived socially in any way now he's
saying he wants to go to a double birthday party in NYC this Friday which
will naturally mean a late night I'm arguing that as a father of two very
young kids in the trenches of postpartum he should be sitting out of some of
these events to stay home and help me at
night our nanny is off the clock at 7:00 p.m. 5:00 p.m. on Fridays so it's at
night that I need him the most he argued that one he's home all day instead of
going out to the office and having drinks after and two he's able to wake
up early after a late night to help with the kids however one it's not my fault
his job is from home and I tell him he wouldn't get to be out for drinks every
night if he has a baby at home that needs him in two while he does wake up
at 7:00 a.m. after a late night he then proceeds to be in a sour mood about how
exhausted he is and I end up picking up all the slack for the next couple of
nights to help him recover so it all falls back on me anyway of note while I
am on maternity leave now I'm with the kids all day along with a nanny so I'm
not sitting around doing nothing I also have a mental illness that requires me
to prioritize my sleep particularly in the postpartum period which I have been
completely putting aside in order to favor my husband getting good sleep
because he's working also he gets reasonable chunks of Break Time
throughout the day so he is not working non-stop by any means am I being
unreasonable isn't it fair that as a father he gives up some of these social
events while his baby is a newborn should I just suck it up and let him be
out and about for as many late nights as he wants edited to ad I am the bread
winner I make more than triple what my husband makes so I am not a gold digger
because I work I hired a nanny I simply didn't want to fire her just for 3
months of leave and lose her so I saved up during pregnancy to be able to keep
her working people need child care simple as that my husband isn't a
terrible person or I would have married him when he's home he's absolutely a dad
to his kids especially on weekends when he's off work it's this one issue about
the crazy amount of social events during this period that I'm having a problem
with we did get tons of women's opinions in FB group so then my husband asked if
we could also get men's I didn't know this would be a problem before kids or
even after the first kid because this all began after my husband went back to
school for his Masters and met all these friends that he now believes it's
crucial he networked with they're not co-workers we are not relying on Reddit
to fix our marriage we have recently started marriage counseling we were
simply curious what everyone else unbiased third parties thought because
we both believe we are right | give me a good story on AITAAskingparticularlyforMENsopinionsasperthehusbandsrequest |

today we've got a crazy nuclear Revenge story against one person's own father
we'll get to that in a bit but first my friend became my boss and messed up as a
woman who was born disabled life had never really been easy I was born with
Herb's palsy where complications before my birth caused muscles and nerves in my
right hand to be weak and unresponsive as an adult I was born with a relatively
smaller and way weaker right hand my parents had done all they could to have
my arm fixed and they quite honestly spent a lot of money but the best result
we got was me not needing to amputate the arm I had use of my arm it just was
very limited use I couldn't hold things for long or use it intensively sure that
affected my quality of living but it wasn't so bad I wasn't in a lot of pain
and since I grew up using my left hand as my dominant hand it rarely affected
me Gravely the biggest issue for me was getting picked on before Elementary
School I mostly got asked questions about what was wrong with my arm from
elementary school though the snide comments started coming in funny enough
most of the comments I got at first came not from my classmates but from their
parents the first time I actually had an experience with discrimination it was
when the mother of one of my classmates walked up to me while I waited for my
dad to pick me up she sat down beside me
and started to ask me questions about my hands she asked if I could use my left
hand well and if my defect was contagious as the child I was I didn't
see anything wrong with the questions she was asking at first I happily told
her what my parents had told me to tell anyone who asked about my arm that I was
born a little different but that I was just like everyone else I proceeded to
show her the painting I'd made of my family in class that day when she
started to ask about my parents though I started to feel a little concerned she
asked to my parents also had the defect so I politely told her that I didn't
want to talk to her anymore and I walked away a few minutes after after that my
dad came to pick me up by that time though I'd mostly forgotten about the
incident it wasn't until we were seated at the table for dinner that I
remembered and told my parents about what had happened I could swear I've
never seen my mum so mad before she was absolutely outraged and insisted on
calling the principal to report what had happened immediately the principal had
assured her that there was no place for discrimination of any type in the school
and had also said that he was going to personally talk to the parent in
question I assumed that that was all there was to it until my parents got
home one day from a PTA meeting looking very pissed my mom got on the phone with
a lawyer while my dad took me into my room to ask me a few questions at first
he asked if anyone had spoken rudely or mockingly to me especially my classmate
whose mother had harassed me I told him no he asked if people treated me
differently or refused to talk to me sensing what was going on instead of
answering his question I asked if this was because of my hand he sighed and
said it was apparently the same woman who had harassed me had spoken up at the
PTA meeting saying she didn't feel it was safe for her child to be in the same
class as a and that my parents moved me to a different school I would
later hear that it took my dad and two other parents to keep my mom from
pouncing on her and beating her butt however it didn't really end well the
woman had called my parents and me all sorts of slurs and she had keyed my
dad's car as she was being escorted out of the school premises my mom was so
upset she had insisted on going legal and there was nothing my dad could do to
dissuade her eventually my classmate's mom was sued by my parents but after
losing her job due to the public storm that my dad stirred up he knew a few
people in the media she issued a public apology and my parents dropped the
lawsuit after that I still received discrimination but it was never ever for
my classmate or their parents one thing I've always been proud of is my academic
performance at school from the get-go I'd always excelled academically and it
was something I was very proud of my parents were also quite proud of my
academic excellence and so they supported me heavily As I Grew Older I
started getting involved in a lot of extracurricular stuff too I was part of
the chess club and I even headed it in my senior year of high school I was also
on my school's debate team in a part of the drama club and all these things my
parents were very supportive and where they could help they did I did get a
fair bit of discrimination here and there though but I never let it get in
my way I graduated as valedictorian from
high school with scholarship offers from
some of the top universities in the US I chose to study robotics at MIT though
I'd always wanted to go to MIT it was while I was a student at MIT that I met
Theodore Ted was also a student at MIT he had Big Dreams of one day owning one
of the world's most successful tech companies in fact when we first started
talking he spoke about it non-stop to be honest at the time I had hoped to date
him he was brilliant funny and made a really mean spaghetti and meatballs with
time though I realized that we just couldn't be together for one he seemed
to be uninterested in me romantically he
only addressed me as a friend and I took
the hint if he were interested though it wouldn't have made a difference we
simply weren't compatible our views on life were just different and I soon
realized that there was no way we'd ever work out regardless of that we became
very good friends and over the years we built a very strong bond when we
graduated Ted's dad who was quite Rich invested in Ted's dream Ted started to
build a robotics company from the start he let me know that he wanted me to work
with him of course I agreed to that he was not only my good friend but we'd
work together on quite a few projects at
MIT and we worked really well together I got brought in as the chief technical
officer based on my knowledge and skill regarding robotics sure I didn't have a
ton of experience but I learned fast and my dedication was an asset it also
helped that in University I had started developing a pretty Advanced and
efficient way to develop robots that were extremely precise yet powerful as a
matter of fact with this system I had developed a robotic Ram that could
autonomously do anything from picking up a sheet of paper from a glass table to
arm wrestling at different power levels without absolutely destroying the arm of
its opponent together Ted and I built a range of products for businesses as we
succeeded more investors were drawn towards us we quickly scaled up the
company and tried to diversify it was really epic over the next five years I
felt as fulfilled as I possibly could things started to change when one day a
Ted came into my office to watch me work now that wasn't odd by itself but the
fact that he spent hours there just staring at me made me start to feel
uncomfortable I told him he was starting to Spook me and then he apologized he
said he wanted to talk to me after office hours though so we arranged a
meeting at a restaurant for dinner after work at dinner Ted told me that he was
attracted to me and he was wondering if we could date I was quite flattered but
at the same time confused I had liked Ted in the past but that was more
infatuation than anything else there was
also the fact that we worked together or to be more accurate I worked for him
there was no way that wasn't unprofessional and even if there wasn't
that there was the big fact that I felt nothing but friendship for Ted Like I
said before we were quite different in our views about the world in a way that
was quite deal-breaking for me however wanting to let him down softly I told
him I was happy he decided to talk to me about it but I didn't see is anything
other than a friend I apologized if I'd let him on in any way and I told them
this didn't affect our friendship in any way he was quiet for the rest of the
evening and even when I started conversations with him he gave Bland
monosyllabic answers I understood that he must be feeling bad so after a while
I kept quiet too after dinner he paid and simply left I didn't even know he
had gone I had gone to use the bathroom and came out to see that he simply
wasn't there I tried calling him but he didn't answer my texts went unanswered
too the next day I saw Ted at work and tried to talk to him but he said he was
busy and didn't have time to chat so I went to my office I was in the middle of
work when he walked in and said he wanted to talk to me but after work he
left immediately after and I honestly couldn't read his face to determine what
type of mood he was in perhaps he wanted to apologize for ditching me at the
restaurant perhaps he wanted to try is luck again perhaps I was about to get
fired thoughts rushed through my mind each worse than the last by the close of
work I was a nervous mess I waited for quite a bit for Ted in fact I was quite
certain we were the only two people left in the building when he finally walked
in the look on his face was one I had never seen on him he looked absolutely
Furious he asked me what ride I had to reject him like I did the previous night
he said he knew I liked them when we met
and he had after all these years decided to pity me and return the affection and
I dare reject him after all he had done for me I tried to tell him that there
were a lot of reasons we couldn't be together primarily our incompatibility
but that only seemed to make him angrier frothing at the mouth he said he could
almost get any woman he wanted that there were so many people who would beg
to date him and he certainly could do more than a that instant was is
where something in me snapped all my life I had had to deal with people who
mocked me because of my arm but I never had someone as close to me as Ted
address me like that I wanted to cry but at the same time I wanted to tackle him
and Pummel his face however I did something much wiser I stood up tall
looked him right in the eye and with as much venom as I could muster I told him
to move out of the way as I walked out I
heard him utter Betty wait I didn't look back the tears didn't come till I got
home when they came they came hot and steady I cried myself to sleep I woke up
with a new resolve to deal with Ted he was not going to get away with what he
called me I called in sick and missed a couple of days of work I refused to pick
any of Ted's calls up or read any of his messages when I resumed work I started
with my plan I was leaving the company but I was going to burn it on my way out
I had already applied to a few other companies I knew would love to have me
work with them then day by day I slowly started to erase every work I put in I
cleared out coding took Blueprints and even tampered with prototypes for my
team and I had built I made my exit as Grand as I could by dropping my
resignation letter at Ted's desk on the day we were supposed to pitch our latest
robot to our biggest investor at the bottom it was signed your favorite
I was sure with the code that was now missing the robot couldn't
function as it was I walked out of the office went to the airport and took my
booked flight to Seychelles when I returned all heck had a broken loose
many of the company's investors were pulling out and employees were resigning
and moving to other competitors I had a bunch of mail from Ted some begging me
to come back some cursing and threatening he had also dropped notes at
my apartment one of them Was Written in Blood and said I will end you I saved
them all to leverage if he ever considered going legal as the weeks went
on I continued to observe the company Crash and Burn heck even Ted's dad was
considering pulling out I on the other hand got a job with one of the country's
top robotic companies right before I moved to start my new job I sent a
bouquet of flowers to Theodore with a note that read there won't be a next
time to your stupidity if you're wise you'll learn how to take rejections oh
and if you as much as think of coming for me I'll make you as distressed as
your crumbling company I didn't need to sign it he'd know who it was from it's
been three years and I haven't heard from him good honestly if I was an OP
situation I think I would have gone at least mildly legal about this and as
soon as I got a letter Written in Blood saying I will end you that's an
immediate report to the police in a restraining order like how do you
downplay that or just be like uh I'll just file this for later just in in case
that said our next story is broken promises from my father my parents love
story was supposed to be the best love story I have ever heard about but life
got in the way or should I say my father got in the way my parents met and fell
in love at Orange County Community College Middletown campus New York my
mother described the moment as instant and scintillating nothing looked fishy
was it supposed to I mean my father Mr bakar a young East African immigrant in
search of a Greener pasture in America was everything a woman could tag as a
man crush forever to top it off he knew how to do this romance thing the way
kdrama actors portrayed romance he was everything and more except that he never
loved my mother the way she hoped he did
and my father would go on to ignite deep hatred and Trauma in my mother and me
this trauma was the result of all the broken promises made to my mother in
their five years of marriage the same broken promises that made me question my
identity and would later Set Me On the Path of Revenge I never knew I needed I
grew up with low self-esteem because my childhood wasn't sugar and spice I had
to live with quite a number of relatives as a child let's focus on my granny I
lived in my maternal grandmother in Los Angeles California until I was 16. she
was the first human that made me know that some individuals will never be good
enough for some people no matter how hard they try it was strictly appalling
with her I had to pay for the Disobedience of my mother yes my mother
did not have the support to date my father we can't fathom why granny had a
special hatred for black men but we knew she did although she took pride in her
whiteness she wasn't a racist history has it that she once dated a black man
who didn't take care of her art thus her vow was to not allow anyone from her
family to go out with any black man again well my mom was different as far
as she was concerned my granny's history should stay with her and should not be
transcended to her children my mother loved my father and that was on period
maybe my mother shouldn't have loved my father perhaps I would have found favor
and love in the sight of my granny the way my cousins found favor and love in
her sight as far as I can remember most of my Granny's grandchildren craved her
Indulgence I was seen as different because my father wasn't loved or even
present black men were not endorsed by my granny because they evoked unpleasant
memories and my father was not any different I didn't know much about him
but I was old enough to know that he was not welcome my granny didn't talk about
her failed black love but her demeanor each time a talk revolved around it
showed that she would be forever resenting the man that caused her pain
there were times I wished my mother listened to my granny in regard to her
love life maybe I would have experienced the love she dished out to my cousins I
couldn't say she hated me but I knew I wasn't foremost on her love list
something about me triggered her I bring her memories she didn't want to live
with but she couldn't undo what my mother had done she referred to my
mother's Disobedience as a mistake so much that I began to believe that I was
a mistake so if she had any love despair for me it was after she had loved up on
our other grandchildren she was the type
that loved and loved so much and she was equally the type that hated with a
special Grace yes she had Grace for everything including love and hatred she
was Resolute firm and industrious she was bossy and carried around her an Air
of importance I don't know how she saw herself but she always felt the world
revolved around her why wouldn't she she had chains of businesses around Los
Angeles and she was heavily invested in oil and gas she had money a name and
even Fame oh did I not mention that her beloved husband Mr Greg my grandfather
adored her he was her personal handbag as they were closely knitted except that
Mr Greg was the quiet version of my granny he was less seen and less pompous
even though he was not a poor man oh my Greg my granddadda he was a good man he
was the reason why I didn't die of the low self-esteem my granny worked hard to
instill in me he was my real G I remember when Granny took my cousins to
Africa to visit one of its beautiful islands it was my grandfather that kept
my head at Bay he made sure I had a good vacation with my aunt in Asia that
summer as well I can talk about the Maldives because Greg was kind enough to
secure that all expense paid trip for me that trip was going to be a major game
changer for me a Asia changed me or should I say my aunt Melissa who lived
and worked in the Maldives painted hidden pictures of me I never knew
existed she grew up with my mother and they attended the same college she knew
my father but she wouldn't tell me anything about him as she took me from
one Island to another she gave a straight face and a mean look anytime a
conversation revolved around my father on the day we visited male island in the
Maldives I wondered if my father took my mother on a honeymoon when they got
married I wondered why he left and why my mother made a Stern resolve to never
allow me to speak to him or even see him
it hurt badly the world is beautiful but I wondered why only a fraction of the
world's population truly experiences its beauty my life was not beautiful even
though I was on a beautiful island after
my vacation with Auntie Melissa I didn't
go back to my granny I Was preparing for college so I had a chance to spend time
with my mom other in New York I had only been in New York when I was a kid and
all I have of the city are faint memories when I got older I was not only
intrigued by the Commercial Drive of the city I was awed by its congestion and
attractiveness when I learned that different places are representations of
different things I couldn't hide my days for instance Broadway is linked with
theater 7th Avenue is linked with fashion and Harlem is the representation
of the African-American dream then there was my mother who I wondered what she
represented in my life I had spent a huge part of my growing years learning
about my mother from afar when her marriage with my father went South she
stayed back in New York and she left me at the mercy of my granny I couldn't
really place what I felt for my mother but I knew it was in love at least not
at the time I didn't like that she left me with Granny I wanted us to stay
together I wanted to know her and touch her even though I had questions lots of
them and when I had the opportunity to ask those questions all I did was stare
my mother stood right in front of me after so many years and I was not only
transfixed I was in awe I couldn't believe that my mother had been aging
backward there was no ounce of Aging at all on her she was still this stunning
and beautiful as ever she had all these and she was still without a man settling
down with my mother in New York wasn't a piece of cake on most days we were like
strangers to each other although we've spent years away from each other I
expected our relationship to be better than it was not that my behavior around
here was any better either and then I realized that all the trauma I had
buried within me was beginning to surface how I was called the b word
meaning child born out of wedlock in Los Angeles and how I got treated like one
nothing else had hurt as much as the unwillingness of my extended family
members to accept me it wasn't my intention to date Joshua one of the boys
I got close to in New York but I dated him anyway Looking Back Now I was never
meant to have dated him but he accepted me and I felt that was enough even
though he was toxic and reminded me of all my traumas I stayed with him
regardless I wasn't supposed to but my self-esteem made me do it I had believed
all of the lies people around me told me
over the years and I had a poor image of myself on the eve of my 17th birthday
Joshua organized a surprise get-together for me I was surrounded by all the
amazing young people I had met in New York it was supposed to be a spectacular
night until everything went South Joshua lived on drugs and he got easily
triggered by seemingly trivial things I couldn't believe Joshua would Rave madly
because another boy danced with me on the dance floor as much as he was
supposed to be very mad not to the extent of hitting me in the presence of
everybody I didn't know the extent of his anger and his unfounded jealousy
until I woke up in the hospital my mother was by my bedside weeping
profusely I drifted back and forth into sleep I wondered what was wrong until I
tried to move my body but was unable to I cried my body shook heavily as I did
my mother could only SOB while she watched me when we both found our voices
she held my hand and gave me a grave look I avoided her gaze I didn't like
that look I asked her again for the umpteenth time where my father was I
didn't expect her to yield to my request and I was grateful she did when I met
your father I wasn't expecting myself to fall in love nor was I looking for love
but he came with his sweet charm to sweep me off my feet I thought our love
was pristine and would never have a blemish so I went ahead to get married
to him even though we were young college students despite dead pain that I felt
in my body I Brazen up to listen to more as my mother made her epic narration my
mother continued even though my mother and my siblings were against our
relationship and then marriage I was undeterred I loved your father with
everything I loved his skin his shiny sparkling teeth with his Dental diastema
were just as perfect as his smile Oh my days did I mention that he was just as
cerebral as he was humorous despite that your father was hyper organized he was
was equally fun to be with and then he loved me or so I thought we got married
and he was granted Express entry into American citizenry I honestly had no
reason to be sad or suspicious about our marriage as your father gave me no
reason to as far as I was concerned we were young and in love then something
strange happened during the fifth and last year of our marriage I saw a
message on his phone from his wife in Kenya wife I didn't think much of it
because there was no possibility in heck
that a car had used me to get his papers
he made lofty promises to me he promised to protect me in our love he said he
loved you after disobeying everyone including my mother to marry him I
didn't expect him to have such a huge secret that he kept away from me I
interrupted my mother as she spoke I didn't believe he loved me because how
could a father not look back for so many years after divorcing his wife he left
me to go through life alone I'm his dog water yet he didn't protect me against
granny and all the cousins that called me a child born out of wedlock for so
many years if he wanted me he would have looked back no matter what well after
much scrutiny and investigation I had to accept the bitter pill your father
served me it was difficult to accept that I was the latter for picarda
climbed to his American dream I had spent years wondering if your father
could have lived a lie with me I wondered what he felt when he said he
loved me and couldn't wait to watch you grow even though I couldn't face my
mother your granny I had to keep you in Los Angeles after the divorce I was too
broken to allow you to stay around me years have passed and I'm just as broken
I didn't know what to say when I didn't know about my father I didn't hate him
but when my mother stopped at her last sentence I made a resolve not to think
highly of him again my mother couldn't trust another man after my father not
that I was any better I was low selfish deemed traumatized and an Angry Bird
when I finally finished College my father reached out I was marrying the
Love of My Life After College after quite a number of therapy sessions and
my father suddenly wanted to be a part of our Lives I thought he was a selfish
man who only cared about the interests of his family in Kenya the family he
eventually moved to the states how appalling I hated his guts I hated how
he heard my mother and me how could he use us as bait how he could have cheaply
looked for a contract marriage instead of involving emotions in his quest for a
better life unfortunately life wasn't kind to him he didn't realize his
American Dream because his Kenyan wife realized her selfish ambition through
him I heard he was a poor and miserable man not that I wanted that for him but I
didn't care much about him and the perfect revenge for me was to keep him
shut out of my life the way my mother shut him away from her occurs after all
his pleas and his obvious outbursts of emotions ladened with regret my mother
and I didn't budge I didn't want him to be a part of my wedding and by extension
my life even though he wished to be a part of it as far as I was concerned a
man that couldn't keep his promises when things were Rosy would not keep his
promises when things were not yeah considering this guy's track record I'm
sure almost to uncertainty that he's popping up because he wants to milk some
kind of new asset it's just maybe unclear what that is if they really
wanted a relationship with you they had all of your life to try to do that
before that point definitely far too little and far too late but with that
being said that's all the time we have for today now if you want to hear

:00.340 --> :13.400 I am one of those kids, that grew up, with
an unloving motherly figure in my life, and :13.400 --> :17.990
this was not due to the fact that, my mother
was not present in my life or anything, but, :17.990 --> :22.240
because of the fact that, my mother, Karen,
was seemingly tired of the being together :22.240 --> :27.500
with my father, after being together for almost
about 11 years, she decided to end their marriage, :27.500 --> :30.029
but not in the way that you would think. :30.029 --> :34.260
My name is Nathaniel, but both my friends
and family members, call me Nat for short. :34.260 --> :38.391
I have always been the only son of my father,
as both my parents decided to have me really :38.391 --> :42.790
later on in their marriage, the reason for
that, is still unknown to me, but I do know :42.790 --> :47.960
for a fact, that, my dad, had always wanted
to have a child, for as long as he can remember, :47.960 --> :51.970
and he would proudly say to anyone that asks
for his age, or anyone that tries to point :51.970 --> :56.590
out the fact that he was already getting old,
that, regardless of his age, even though he :56.590 --> :00.950
was just in his early 50’s, that he would
still be able to “have a go at it, when :00.950 --> :02.480
the time calls for it”. :02.480 --> :07.090
I did not know the meaning of what he said
back then, but later on, I think I perfectly :07.090 --> :09.060
understood what he meant by that. :09.060 --> :13.640
My mother on the other hand, was in a way, the polar opposite of my father.
:13.640 --> :18.710 I know upon growing up, majority of children,
tends to develop a specific liking for their :18.710 --> :22.869
mother, as opposed to their father, maybe
it is due to the fact that, the mother tends :22.869 --> :27.990
to spend the most time with the child, before
the child is born, and in my opinion, this :27.990 --> :32.100
would most definitely play a significant role,
in determining, which parent the child would :32.100 --> :35.840
be more closer to, when such child is fully grown. :35.840 --> :40.509
Well in my case, my mother was not always
around for me to even attempt to develop a :40.509 --> :45.560
stronger sense of familiar bond, and this
greatly affected our relationship, and the :45.560 --> :50.119
reason for her lack of presence, was attributed
by her, to the fact that, she was trying to :50.119 --> :54.479
work twice as hard as my father was, in order
to make sure that our family had everything :54.479 --> :59.300
we needed, notwithstanding the fact that,
my father, although retired, had already made :59.300 --> :05.500
more than enough money in his time of service,
to last our family for close to 2 generations. :05.500 --> :10.119
Meaning that even though I decide not to work,
from the moment I leave school, I can still :10.119 --> :15.180
live comfortably, with my children, and their
children, before totally exhausting the total :15.180 --> :17.450
wealth, accumulated by my father. :17.450 --> :21.840
In my view, this was supposed to come as a
pleasant news to my mother, considering the :21.840 --> :26.730
fact that, she had turned herself, into a
workaholic and all that, but, I just did not :26.730 --> :31.060
seem to fully understand, why she could not
just try to forge a connection with her only :31.060 --> :36.840
son, and why, to her, even after her husband
has already accumulated enough money, to ensure :36.840 --> :41.750
that she can still live her lie freely, till
her day of passing, she could still not just :41.750 --> :47.320
spend a whole weekend at home, with her family,
undistracted by work or any other thing, of :47.320 --> :48.400
the sorts. :48.400 --> :52.769
These were the questions that have been running
through my mind, for as long as I can remember, :52.769 --> :57.260
but I guess my questions, got meaningless
at some point, because the events that transpired :57.260 --> :00.970
one very day, changed the entire foundation of my family.
:00.970 --> :05.870 This very day, about 30 months to the end
of their marriage, my dad had an issue with :05.870 --> :09.900
my mother, to which he had already been fed
up, and he had no choice, but to voice out :09.900 --> :15.040
how he felt about things, and my mom, being
the kind of woman that she is, obviously did :15.040 --> :17.209
not take things lying down. :17.209 --> :21.980
That particular evening, my father and I had
prepared dinner for our family, as we wanted :21.980 --> :26.540
to surprise mom as usual, when she got back
from work, because we knew, that when she :26.540 --> :32.170
got back, she would be so tired, as she would
not be able to cook for either herself or :32.170 --> :33.220
the family. :33.220 --> :38.500
And when we were done preparing the food,
at around 6PM, my father and I waited, because, :38.500 --> :41.750
this was the time, that my mom usually came back home from work.
:41.750 --> :46.890 However even when it was already about 2 hours,
well past the time which she was supposed :46.890 --> :51.810
to come home, she was nowhere in sight, and
this really made my father worry, and quite :51.810 --> :56.390
a lot, as he had already tried phoning her
several times, prior to the time that she :56.390 --> :59.590
was supposed to come home, and still, she was not reachable.
:59.590 --> :04.290 My father told me at the time, to eat my food,
and head on over to bed, all while trying :04.290 --> :05.500
to hide his worry. :05.500 --> :09.740
I did not want to give him something else
to worry about, as he had his hands already :09.740 --> :15.460
full, so I went to bed at around past 11 that
night, while my father, stayed up all night, :15.460 --> :16.910
waiting for her to come home. :16.910 --> :20.620
The next thing I remember that night, was
the fact that, my mom was yelling at the top :20.620 --> :25.790
of her voice, all while trying to defend herself
to my father, who at the time, was just trying :25.790 --> :30.360
his best to make sense, out of the senseless
reason she had just given him, their noise :30.360 --> :35.419
woke me up, and immediately I came downstairs
to see them, they immediately ceased their :35.419 --> :38.490
arguments, as my mother immediately found her way to their room.
:38.490 --> :43.370 This was the very first time I had seen my
parents argue, for as far back as my mind :43.370 --> :44.380
can recall. :44.380 --> :49.120
Anyways, right after their argument, my mom
left the house, and she did not return for :49.120 --> :54.560
about a whole week, to which I posed the question
to my father, asking him where my mom had :54.560 --> :57.550
gone, and whether or not this was her way of leaving us.
:57.550 --> :00.040 My father told me not worry, assuring me that.
:00.040 --> :05.070 She simply went to her parents place for a
simple visit, but I just knew it then, that :05.070 --> :08.840
there was definitely something wrong with
the both of them, and that their marriage, :08.840 --> :14.220
at the time was in trouble, but I did not
let my concern show, for my dad’s sake. :14.220 --> :18.280
And true to her words, she came back at the time that she had stated initially.
:18.280 --> :22.990 And right after she had returned to us, there
was a seemingly noticeable change, in her :22.990 --> :25.889
behavior, and mostly in her personality. :25.889 --> :31.480
Well for one, it was a known fact that, she
was in no way, performing her wife duties, :31.480 --> :37.220
and also her motherly duties, in some respect,
but right from the moment she came back, she :37.220 --> :41.139
started to exhibit features of the perfect prize mother, and wife.
:41.139 --> :46.740 I had noticed that, she was already making
conscious efforts at, trying to get even closer, :46.740 --> :52.120
with me, and she was already finally cozying
up to my father, and also, she immediately :52.120 --> :56.580
decided to quit her work, and took my father
up on the offer, of living out the rest of :56.580 --> :00.100
both their lives, without having to work at all again.
:00.100 --> :05.650 And so it was, not wanting to give it some
grand name or anything, but this was the moment :05.650 --> :09.400
the woman I previously known as my mother, was no more.
:09.400 --> :14.639 The reason for such a change, would remain
a mystery to both my father, and myself. :14.639 --> :19.950
However, this did not last for too long, this
was attributed to the fact that, the event :19.950 --> :22.210
that led to their separation, occurred. :22.210 --> :24.710
This was basically how the whole event played out. :24.710 --> :29.530
So following the fact that my mom was already
without a job, and was living off my father :29.530 --> :34.000
at this point, my father, sought it fit, to
at least provide her with more than enough :34.000 --> :38.760
allowance that was close to three times the
amount of her previous salary at her previous :38.760 --> :39.849
work place. :39.849 --> :44.169
And to me, this was a fair enough deal for
her, as she would not be constrained within :44.169 --> :48.690
the confines of a workspace in order to make
comfortable enough money, so as to live a :48.690 --> :50.620
comfortable enough lifestyle. :50.620 --> :54.830
And also, if there is one thing I know for
certain, it is that my father was not the :54.830 --> :00.580
type of man to force his partner into total
submission, by using any means, so the thought :00.580 --> :05.199
of my father, maybe trying to tie her down
with his wealth, by telling her to quit her :05.199 --> :07.520
job, was out of the question. :07.520 --> :11.919
Anyways my father, decided at the time to
take a business trip, which was not really :11.919 --> :17.290
much, as he had just moved quietly to another
hotel, not too far from our home, the reason :17.290 --> :21.800
for him doing this, was unknown to me at the
time, but when he began explaining things :21.800 --> :26.930
to me later on after he was in police custody,
this was when I finally understood the kind :26.930 --> :29.039
of woman, my mother was. :29.039 --> :34.379
So apparently, he went away, as a means to
test the kind of character my mother had, :34.379 --> :38.979
so as to figure out whether or not he was
going to include her into his will, for the :38.979 --> :43.199
distribution of his properties, in case of his untimely passing.
:43.199 --> :46.419 And thus the need for his little vacation charade.
:46.419 --> :50.690 He had actually placed some cameras around
the house, and he also had some spies around :50.690 --> :55.750
the neighborhood, that were reporting the
coming and going of every person in our house. :55.750 --> :01.080
To which he no sooner realized, that she apparently
had another partner, that she was seeing, :01.080 --> :05.520
and that she brought in this other man, when
she sent me to my friends place, for the weekend, :05.520 --> :11.349
of which I did not request, or ask for, and
I still found suspicious, but I let it slide. :11.349 --> :16.590
After my father had found out all that he
needed, he came home much earlier than expected, :16.590 --> :19.479
hoping to catch my mother in the act, but he could not.
:19.479 --> :24.729 And no sooner had he come back from his trip,
did he confront her immediately, and he began :24.729 --> :29.580
asking her to come clean, and he might even consider taking things easy on her.
:29.580 --> :33.390 But she still refused, as he kept ono denying
everything. :33.390 --> :38.279
My father then accused her of frolicking with
another man, in his absence, and to this, :38.279 --> :42.250
she denied vehemently, and then the serious argument had begun.
:42.250 --> :46.940 I could hear my mother shouting at the top
of her voice, and then the noise just stopped :46.940 --> :48.130
in an instant. :48.130 --> :52.130
The next thing I could remember, was the police
arriving in the house and putting my father :52.130 --> :54.570
in handcuffs, all while taking him away. :54.570 --> :59.560
I could not understand the situation, was
everything was happening just so fast, but :59.560 --> :03.760
if there was one thing I could piece together,
it was that, my mother apparently accused :03.760 --> :08.630
my father of domestic violence, as when the
police came, there were signs of beatings :08.630 --> :10.029
on her body. :10.029 --> :15.300
So the police took him into custody immediately,
and following this since my father did not :15.300 --> :20.029
have any piece of evidence at the time, he
was given the sentence to serve time, of close :20.029 --> :26.080
to 7 years, with the possibility of early
release on the account of good behavior. :26.080 --> :30.410
After visiting my father, countless times
in prison, I finally understood the reason :30.410 --> :35.350
my mother did what she did, all of these was
due to the fact that, my father, had decided :35.350 --> :40.510
to leave her entirely out of the will, so
as to still have access to his money, she :40.510 --> :43.290
decided, this was the best course of action. :43.290 --> :49.820
But still, my father willed his entire property,
to me, and it was only accessible on my 18th :49.820 --> :50.820
birthday. :50.820 --> :53.610
So my mother had no access to any of his money. :53.610 --> :58.279
When I found out this, I decided to wait things
out until then so as to finally get back at :58.279 --> :03.279
her for what she did to my father, and apparently,
she had a lot of debts to settle, and she :03.279 --> :08.750
had set her sights on my father’s money,
but, I shattered all her hopes by, first selling :08.750 --> :12.620
my father’s house, which she lived in at
the time, and then collecting and selling :12.620 --> :17.300
every car my father had in his possession,
before finally leaving in the middle of the :17.300 --> :21.590
night, without her knowledge, to suffer for what she had put my father through.
:21.590 --> :26.530 My father was released a few years after,
as the option for bail was provided few years :26.530 --> :31.620
into his sentence, and we have lived happily
since then, without her presence in both our :31.620 --> :32.620
lives. :32.620 --> :35.600 How my boyfriend destroyed my clothes and
rendered me homeless. :35.600 --> :40.230
We’ve all done things that we are not proud
of at different points in our lives, things :40.230 --> :41.360
that we regret deeply. :41.360 --> :43.130
Mine was cheating on my ex-boyfriend. :43.130 --> :49.040
He was my high school sweetheart and the absolute
love of my life but I messed up and he never :49.040 --> :50.040
forgave me. :50.040 --> :52.110
We met at a dinner organized by our immigrant parents one summer.
:52.110 --> :55.950 They decided that they should create a community
of sorts and hang around more so all the Muslims :55.950 --> :59.079
in our neighborhood decided to come together
to have dinner that evening and on consequent :59.079 --> :00.079
evenings. :00.079 --> :03.810
The adults had dinner in a different room
while we kids had our dinner in another room :03.810 --> :05.100
supervised by two of the older teenagers. :05.100 --> :09.810
My ex and I were one of the younger teenagers in the room that evening.
:09.810 --> :12.610 The other children were less than twelve.
:12.610 --> :18.060 I sat just across from my ex (the seating
arrangement was in such a way that the girls :18.060 --> :20.260
sat facing the boys) and our eyes just kept meeting.
:20.260 --> :22.950 I would look up from my food and catch him
staring at me. :22.950 --> :27.300
That happened the first two times and I felt
a bit uneasy, but the third time, he smiled :27.300 --> :29.560
at me and I felt butterflies in my tummy. :29.560 --> :34.040
After dinner, the younger kids were made to
wash the dishes and clean up after the adults :34.040 --> :36.370
while us older kids supervised them. :36.370 --> :40.339
“You’re very beautiful,” I heard my ex say in his heavy accent.
:40.339 --> :45.240 I knew he was talking to me, even though he
wasn’t exactly facing me. :45.240 --> :49.180
The adults didn’t exactly like young members
of the opposite sex being chummy with each :49.180 --> :50.180 other.
:50.180 --> :53.770 I knew he was talking to me though because
I was pretty and I knew it. :53.770 --> :58.700
My mother was a very pretty woman and I looked just like her.
:58.700 --> :06.120 Pregnant women would beg my mom to let me
touch their bellies so they could have a daughter :06.120 --> :09.930
as pretty as I was as a child. :09.930 --> :14.560
I enjoyed the attention and wasn’t new to
being told I was beautiful, but the compliment :14.560 --> :18.560
coming from a Muslim boy who was also very
handsome made me feel even more special. :18.560 --> :19.560
“Thank you. :19.560 --> :20.560 I like your accent.”
:20.560 --> :26.560 At the time, our backs were turned to each
other, he complimented me with his back facing :26.560 --> :34.250
me and that became our way of communicating at every event our parents hosted.
:34.250 --> :36.449 “I like your accent too,” he said.
:36.449 --> :38.019 “I don’t have an accent.”
:38.019 --> :39.019 He chuckled softly. :39.019 --> :41.170
“Oh, but you do have an accent. :41.170 --> :42.430
Everyone has an accent.” :42.430 --> :46.199
After summer passed and school resumed, I saw him at my school.
:46.199 --> :50.089 It was after our first face-to-face conversation
that I got to know about him. :50.089 --> :56.470
His dad was in the military and he and his
mom lived together in their home country until :56.470 --> :01.060
three years before when they migrated to be closer to his father.
:01.060 --> :05.480 My parents were also immigrants but they migrated
before I was even born. :05.480 --> :11.640
My mom got a huge gig as a model and was taken
in by a modeling agency that believed that :11.640 --> :15.220
she could do better in a country that afforded her more freedom.
:15.220 --> :17.540 My mom agreed to leave the country and moved.
:17.540 --> :22.639 Shortly after she moved, she met my dad who
had also just left his home country, they :22.639 --> :24.440
got married and had my brother. :24.440 --> :27.139
That spelled the end of my mom’s modeling career. :27.139 --> :31.040
My mom resented my dad and us for the end of her career.
:31.040 --> :35.329 She believed that she lost her beauty and
body because she had children. :35.329 --> :37.740
She was replaced by models who fit the current beauty trends.
:37.740 --> :40.800 She hardly had any time for herself since
she had two kids on her hands and a husband :40.800 --> :42.279
whose job was two hours away. :42.279 --> :45.750
Growing up, my mom had a permanent frown on her face, she just wasn’t happy.
:45.750 --> :49.830 I didn’t get to see her happy until I was
eleven and she decided to pursue her second :49.830 --> :50.830
love; photography. :50.830 --> :54.920
Still, she bemoans her fate often and admits
that she should have waited before getting :54.920 --> :56.300
married and having children. :56.300 --> :02.769
I’m making it a point to talk about my mom
and her failed dreams because that informed :02.769 --> :04.510
my actions later in life. :04.510 --> :09.200
My ex and I officially started dating when
one day, one of our teachers asked him if :09.200 --> :14.130
I was his girlfriend, he took my hand, squeezed it, and said yes.
:14.130 --> :15.830 I smiled all the way home that night.
:15.830 --> :19.180 I was in love with him and I felt a delicious
tingling feeling all through the day. :19.180 --> :22.100
After college, I finally told my parents that
I wasn’t going to work in a bank or whatever :22.100 --> :24.329
other corporate job they’d imagined for me. :24.329 --> :27.170
I was going to pursue my dream of being a singer. :27.170 --> :29.910
My parents were very disappointed in me, my dad especially.
:29.910 --> :34.040 “We didn’t pay so much to put you through
college so you can dress half-naked and sing,” :34.040 --> :35.509
he thundered after I told them about my plans. :35.509 --> :38.269
That night, my mom came to me and asked me to apologize to my dad.
:38.269 --> :39.269 “Stop this nonsense,” she said.
:39.269 --> :43.579 “Your dad is very mad at you, but you can
still apologize to him. :43.579 --> :48.089
Tell him you’re sorry and that you didn’t know what you were talking about.
:48.089 --> :49.089 I’m sure he will forgive you.”
:49.089 --> :50.089 I refused. :50.089 --> :51.540
My dad promised to never support me in any
way if I decided to go on with my plans of :51.540 --> :52.540
being a singer. :52.540 --> :57.459
That morning as I packed my stuff ready to
leave my parents’ house, my mom told me :57.459 --> :59.740
again that there was still time. :59.740 --> :01.639
“Your father will disown you.” :01.639 --> :05.269
“I don’t care,” I slammed the door in her face. :05.269 --> :07.579
I moved to the city with my ex-boyfriend. :07.579 --> :10.170
All through college, my boyfriend and I had a great relationship.
:10.170 --> :13.839 We spoke every day and visited each other
regularly. :13.839 --> :21.540
When I decided that I was going to move to
the city, he offered to let me move in with :21.540 --> :27.769
him even though we knew we were risking our
families and friends being very mad about :27.769 --> :31.330
that because the idea of two unmarried people living together was frowned upon.
:31.330 --> :35.480 Shortly after I moved in, I met someone who
gave me tips on how to get discovered. :35.480 --> :44.190
She advised me to get a job in one of the busiest bars in the city.
:44.190 --> :45.399 “You never know. :45.399 --> :54.680
Maybe one day, one of the singers won’t show up and then you can say “Oh, I can
:54.680 --> :55.680 sing.” :55.680 --> :59.470
I took her advice and took a job at the bar. :59.470 --> :06.240
My boyfriend admitted that he wasn’t comfortable
with me working in an establishment that serves :06.240 --> :10.230
alcohol but he would do anything to support my career.
:10.230 --> :15.329 He was so supportive that I started to take
him for granted. :15.329 --> :19.160
I stopped paying so much attention to our relationship.
:19.160 --> :22.130 I just thought he’d always be there.
:22.130 --> :29.300 I’d go out to my job in the evening, return
very late at night or in the morning, go to :29.300 --> :36.510
bed, and then on most afternoons, I’d be
out with friends trying to meet new people. :36.510 --> :43.839
A big change occurred at the bar, one that
I thought would change my life, and it did, :43.839 --> :47.140
just not the way I wanted it. :47.140 --> :48.730
The bar was bought by a young man. :48.730 --> :55.589
When the other workers spoke about the new
owner being a young man from a prominent family, :55.589 --> :01.959
I’d expected to see a handsome young man, but he wasn’t handsome at all.
:01.959 --> :05.040 Young, yes but he wasn’t handsome.
:05.040 --> :09.040 He did smell nice though and he had a way
with words. :09.040 --> :18.140
On his first day as the owner, he put out
a notice that he’d like to interview all :18.140 --> :23.569
the staff to see if we could fit into his “dream for the bar.”
:23.569 --> :33.650 While the other staff thought of how to charm
him and establish themselves as the best mixologists,
:33.650 --> :42.280 the best bartender, and waiter, a new idea
came to my mind; I was going to ask him to :42.280 --> :44.500
let me sing on some evenings. :44.500 --> :50.180
When I offered to sing in his bar free of
any charge, he agreed but he mentioned something :50.180 --> :51.840
about me needing the right clothes. :51.840 --> :56.540
“If you’re going to sing up there, you must look the part.
:56.540 --> :02.030 You already have shiny hair and you’re pretty,
you just need new clothes.” :02.030 --> :04.450
I was excited but my boyfriend was skeptical. :04.450 --> :06.909
“He just doesn’t strike me as a good person.” :06.909 --> :08.250
I rolled my eyes. :08.250 --> :09.919 “You don’t even know him.
:09.919 --> :13.600 I have decided to use my savings to buy these
clothes.” :13.600 --> :14.600 “What?!” :14.600 --> :16.280
“Expensive clothes cost a lot of money.” :16.280 --> :18.620
“I don’t think that’s a good idea. :18.620 --> :23.740
That’s a crazy lot of money to spend on just clothes.”
:23.740 --> :26.559 “I don’t see them as just clothes.
:26.559 --> :27.770 They are investments.”
:27.770 --> :33.850 By this time I was getting irritated and starting
to wonder if my boyfriend wanted me to succeed :33.850 --> :34.850
as a singer. :34.850 --> :39.250
He’d been complaining about us not spending
enough time together and I’d ignored his :39.250 --> :40.250
complaints each time. :40.250 --> :45.440
Some days after, I asked some of my friends to go shopping with me and they did.
:45.440 --> :48.800 They took me to high-end places to buy fancy
clothes and shoes. :48.800 --> :00.750
When all was set, I wore one of the dresses
I bought to the bar, all ready to sing. :00.750 --> :04.860
“You look amazing!” he explained the moment he saw me.
:04.860 --> :06.420 I was excited, finally, I’d get to sing.
:06.420 --> :12.510 The bar was a high-end one and music directors
and label record owners often came there. :12.510 --> :18.590
I’d hoped that one of these people would
hear me sing and offer a deal that’d launch :18.590 --> :20.460
my career in the music industry. :20.460 --> :24.330
“Unfortunately, we have contacted another singer to perform this evening.”
:24.330 --> :29.600 I was hurt but since he knew I’d gotten
beautiful clothes, I was sure that he’d :29.600 --> :31.640
let me sing on some evenings. :31.640 --> :35.059
That evening, I felt a hand behind me and turned. :35.059 --> :36.419
It was my boss. :36.419 --> :39.179
I was shocked because he’d never done that. :39.179 --> :42.280
I wasn’t even sure how to interpret his actions. :42.280 --> :44.010
Was he sensually touching me? :44.010 --> :45.679
I just didn’t understand it. :45.679 --> :52.690
When my boss asked me to have a drink with
him later that night, I understood what that :52.690 --> :53.750
touch was for. :53.750 --> :58.850
“I have a boyfriend,” I said, hoping that he’d push past that.
:58.850 --> :04.539 Yes, at that point, I was desperate and ready
to do anything to achieve my dreams. :04.539 --> :13.080
My boyfriend was talking about getting married
and being a proper couple already at the time :13.080 --> :14.480
and that scared me. :14.480 --> :17.280
What if I ended up like my mother? :17.280 --> :19.480
Fat and unfulfilled, I didn’t want that. :19.480 --> :23.010
As I hoped, he insisted and we had a drink together.
:23.010 --> :28.900 As we drank, he promised to introduce me to
people who would help me become a household :28.900 --> :31.200
name in the music industry. :31.200 --> :35.380
I believed everything he said and we soon started sleeping together.
:35.380 --> :41.860 One day he asked me to spend the weekend in
his hotel suite with him and I did. :41.860 --> :45.440
I lied to my boyfriend that I’d be working at the bar.
:45.440 --> :49.330 “We are hosting two events so we’re going
to be busy all weekend.” :49.330 --> :55.170
On the evening of the first night, I was out
with my boss at the hotel’s lounge of the :55.170 --> :56.940
hotel he stayed in and was seated on his lap. :56.940 --> :02.670
I saw a car that looked very much like my
boyfriend’s drive-in but I looked away. :02.670 --> :07.150
It couldn’t possibly be my boyfriend’s but he got out and it was him.
:07.150 --> :11.870 He was with a friend from work and I immediately
guessed that they were there for a work-related :11.870 --> :12.870
matter. :12.870 --> :15.279 I was terrified but I didn’t know what to
do. :15.279 --> :21.059
I didn’t want to get up abruptly or do anything
that’d embarrass my boss, so I just looked :21.059 --> :24.350
away even after my eyes and those of my boyfriend met.
:24.350 --> :26.890 Some minutes later, I saw my boyfriend and
his friend walk out and they drove out of :26.890 --> :27.890
the hotel. :27.890 --> :30.850
My heart kept beating so fast, I was scared but I managed to keep my cool.
:30.850 --> :34.820 I thought maybe he’d break up with me, but
at least I had my boss. :34.820 --> :39.870
He was going to make me a star and I’d find
a way to convince my boyfriend to forgive :39.870 --> :40.870 me.
:40.870 --> :41.929 He loved me anyway. :41.929 --> :46.970
My boss let me stay in his suite all through
the week but he never introduced me to anyone. :46.970 --> :50.950
I wasn’t getting anything other than meals from the hotel.
:50.950 --> :54.310 After waiting for the whole week, praying
that he would do something and mentioning :54.310 --> :59.400
it to him many times, I called my friends and told them about what had happened.
:59.400 --> :05.350 “Oh my God, you are so naive!” one of
the girls said. :05.350 --> :08.740
“Honey, your boss just conned you into sleeping with him.”
:08.740 --> :14.860 In anger, I confronted my boss about it and
he threw me out of his suite. :14.860 --> :19.281
One of my friends let me stay in her home
for three days but I had to leave because :19.281 --> :20.640
she needed her space. :20.640 --> :25.440
I decided I was going to return to my ex-boyfriend’s,
take the expensive clothes I’d bought with :25.440 --> :30.020
all my savings, and sell them so I could afford a month’s rent and start over.
:30.020 --> :35.580 On one Monday, I returned home to find that
my ex had shredded every single dress I bought :35.580 --> :38.270
with all my savings, packed his stuff, and moved out.
:38.270 --> :40.690 All my beautiful dresses were gone.
:40.690 --> :43.510 I had no savings and no family.
:43.510 --> :44.510 I had nothing. :44.510 --> :46.460
That year was the toughest year of my life. :46.460 --> :48.920
I was homeless and I lost everything. :48.920 --> :52.590
I still find it difficult to forgive myself for being so stupid.
:52.590 --> :56.500 My ex’s revenge ruined my life and guess
who is still not a famous singer? :56.500 --> :58.330
I don’t even sing at all anymore. :58.330 --> :00.710
How My Family Had Revenge On That One Neighbor. :00.710 --> :06.799
As I reflect on our family, I can't help but
see the threads of art that have woven us :06.799 --> :07.799
together. :07.799 --> :10.299
My husband, David, has an artistic soul that emanates from his very being.
:10.299 --> :13.340 His hands are often stained with paint, his
canvases bearing witness to his deepest emotions. :13.340 --> :17.570
You might say that his love for art is what
actually made me notice him before I fell :17.570 --> :18.590
helplessly for him. :18.590 --> :23.720
Well, he did fall helplessly first and I had nothing to do but to follow suit.
:23.720 --> :26.669 It was like a match painted on a canvas.
:26.669 --> :30.269 My love for art propelled me to own an art
gallery. :30.269 --> :36.029
My art gallery, nestled in the heart of our
coastal town, became a haven for local artists. :36.029 --> :39.910
I made it my mission to support our community's
creative endeavors, giving artists a platform :39.910 --> :40.910
to express themselves. :40.910 --> :44.020
It's a role I cherish and one that's brought me closer to our neighbors.
:44.020 --> :45.409 All of our neighbors.
:45.409 --> :49.490 Together, I and David created a vibrant and
rebellious spirit. :49.490 --> :50.490 Alex.
:50.490 --> :54.710 While my heart sometimes aches with worry
for him, I can't deny the raw talent he exhibits :54.710 --> :55.870
with his graffiti art. :55.870 --> :59.460
His work transforms our mundane town walls into colorful bursts of urban beauty.
:59.460 --> :01.640 It was as disturbing as it was innovative.
:01.640 --> :05.730 Simply disturbing because, well, street art
in the form of wall painting on property that :05.730 --> :09.929
wasn’t yours was kind of a big deal and he got into a lot of trouble for that.
:09.929 --> :13.159 Aside from Alex’s constant trouble with
the law, our lives were uneventful, marked :13.159 --> :17.270
by our collective love for art, until the
arrival of Mrs. Turner, a newcomer to our :17.270 --> :18.270
neighborhood. :18.270 --> :20.280
Her presence cast an unexpected shadow over our tranquil existence.
:20.280 --> :23.710 Still, in our small coastal town, we extended
our warmest hospitality, hoping to forge neighborly
:23.710 --> :24.710 connections. :24.710 --> :28.700
The idyllic facade of our peaceful life began
to crumble when the first hints of discord :28.700 --> :30.899
arose with Mrs. Turner, our new neighbor. :30.899 --> :35.930
It was almost as if she arrived with an agenda,
hidden behind a veneer of civility. :35.930 --> :39.370
At first, the disagreements were trivial,
like the choice of paint for the community :39.370 --> :41.669
fence or the placement of garden ornaments. :41.669 --> :44.429
I thought such disputes were a natural part
of neighborhood life, but Mrs. Turner's persistence
:44.429 --> :45.549 soon revealed a more malicious intent.
:45.549 --> :47.270 She unleashed a torrent of complaints against us.
:47.270 --> :51.299 Our art gallery's events were too noisy, our
garden decorations too garish, and even Alex's :51.299 --> :53.610
graffiti art, which I so dearly loved, became a target of her scorn.
:53.610 --> :57.250 Don’t get me wrong, that was a problem when
it was done on someone else’s property but :57.250 --> :58.490
she complained about our wall. :58.490 --> :02.730
I mean, it was ludicrous in the least and
I couldn't comprehend her relentless animosity. :02.730 --> :06.470
Before long, she escalated her vendetta by involving the legal system.
:06.470 --> :10.750 I remember the first day Deputy Thomas came
to our door. :10.750 --> :16.309
He didn’t know how to put the words in a
way that wouldn’t come out offensive and :16.309 --> :23.870
he wanted to be the one to tell us of her
complaints so he opted to come over instead. :23.870 --> :31.340
We’ve been friends since high school and
even he knew something was off about the complaints.
:31.340 --> :33.169 But, he was the law. :33.169 --> :37.630
It was his duty to check things out and ensure that they were in place.
:37.630 --> :42.640 Her complaints turned into legal actions,
and it seemed that every day brought a new :42.640 --> :43.649
summons or notice. :43.649 --> :49.120
The tranquility of our coastal haven was shattered
by the relentless barrage of legal documents, :49.120 --> :50.779
and our once harmonious existence was threatened. :50.779 --> :56.280
David and I, along with our friends in the
community, tried to reason with her, but Mrs. :56.280 --> :57.280
Turner remained unyielding. :57.280 --> :05.419
It was as though she was determined to use
the law to strip away our connection to the :05.419 --> :11.480
very art that defined us, leaving us powerless
and bewildered in the face of her relentless :11.480 --> :12.480
campaign. :12.480 --> :13.480 I was pissed off.
:13.480 --> :19.200 Yet, I struggled to understand why she chose
to move the way she did. :19.200 --> :22.519
Still, in the face of Mrs. Turner's relentless
hostility, we remained committed to finding :22.519 --> :24.559
a peaceful resolution to the escalating conflict. :24.559 --> :26.240
We were neighbors after all. :26.240 --> :30.360
We had to find a way to live peacefully amidst ourselves in the long run.
:30.360 --> :31.950 David and I continued our attempts to negotiate
with Mrs. Turner. :31.950 --> :35.720
We held cordial conversations, addressing
her concerns and trying to find common ground. :35.720 --> :41.730
We emphasized our shared connection to the
community and our love for art, hoping to :41.730 --> :43.929
bridge the divide that had grown between us. :43.929 --> :47.540
Simultaneously, we sought support from our
friends and the local community, recognizing :47.540 --> :49.919
the importance of unity in times of adversity. :49.919 --> :52.200
Our fellow artists and neighbors rallied behind
us, offering their encouragement and assistance. :52.200 --> :55.299
They understood the significance of our art
gallery and Alex's graffiti as essential components
:55.299 --> :57.240 of the town's identity.
:57.240 --> :59.370 It became a nuisance, really.
:59.370 --> :03.590 To the point where community meetings were
held to discuss the situation, and a petition :03.590 --> :07.309
in support of the Porter family garnered widespread signatures.
:07.309 --> :09.130 Local businesses displayed artwork in solidarity,
and our neighbors organized art-themed events :09.130 --> :11.170
to showcase the town's vibrant creative spirit. :11.170 --> :15.180
These collective efforts not only provided
us with emotional support but also demonstrated :15.180 --> :20.360
to Mrs. Turner that her actions were causing
division in the community she had recently :20.360 --> :21.360 joined.
:21.360 --> :26.670 We hoped that by highlighting the positive
impact of art and community bonds, we could :26.670 --> :30.630
eventually reach a resolution that would restore
harmony to our once-peaceful neighborhood. :30.630 --> :31.780
But did she yield? :31.780 --> :33.230 Of course, it did not.
:33.230 --> :37.270 If it did there would have been no point in
telling this revenge story. :37.270 --> :41.309
The turning point in our tumultuous relationship
with Mrs. Turner came unexpectedly, like a :41.309 --> :42.750
revelation in a stormy sea. :42.750 --> :47.080
One day, while David was visiting the local
historical society, he stumbled upon a newspaper :47.080 --> :48.520
article from several decades ago. :48.520 --> :52.390
It detailed a failed art career and a tragic
incident involving Mrs. Turner, then known :52.390 --> :53.600
by her maiden name, Florence Monroe. :53.600 --> :56.280
He said it was the slight picture of the picture
he saw that made him go back to check what :56.280 --> :57.280
the news was about. :57.280 --> :58.320 Who was in the picture?
:58.320 --> :59.320 Well, you already know.
:59.320 --> :03.789 The article revealed that Florence had once
been an aspiring artist, her dreams filled :03.789 --> :06.630
with the promise of a flourishing career. :06.630 --> :10.530
However, a mysterious fire had destroyed her
art studio, along with her life's work. :10.530 --> :14.490
The incident had left her emotionally scarred,
and she had abandoned her artistic ambitions. :14.490 --> :18.860
The whole news was like reading a haunting
tale of loss and shattered dreams that had :18.860 --> :19.950
remained hidden for years. :19.950 --> :22.769
But more than this, the impact of this revelation was profound.
:22.769 --> :26.840 It offered a glimpse into the depths of Mrs.
Turner's pain and the reasons behind her hostility.
:26.840 --> :30.090 It became clear that her aggression toward
art and artists stemmed from her own unresolved :30.090 --> :31.090
trauma. :31.090 --> :34.950
We felt a mix of empathy and sorrow for her,
realizing that her vendetta against us was :34.950 --> :37.200
a misguided attempt to cope with her past. :37.200 --> :41.070
But don't we all have that one thing that
haunts us from childhood, youthful days, or :41.070 --> :43.450
the years of early adulthood? :43.450 --> :51.860
I like to think that we all do and at the
same time, we do not go around trying to make :51.860 --> :55.460
other people uncomfortable because of some
unresolved history of trauma in our lives. :55.460 --> :57.850
That would have been pathetic and borderline unacceptable.
:57.850 --> :02.320 Revenge was never our initial intention, but
we felt compelled to orchestrate a plan that :02.320 --> :05.169
could offer both redemption and a deeper understanding of the value of art.
:05.169 --> :09.269 David, with his artistic insight, took the
lead in devising our intricate plan. :09.269 --> :14.440
We decided that our revenge would not be one
of cruelty but of creativity, aiming to rekindle :14.440 --> :15.769
the artistic flame within Mrs. Turner's heart. :15.769 --> :20.510
We believed that if we could help her rediscover
the beauty of art, it might heal her wounds :20.510 --> :23.260
and bring peace to our neighborhood. :23.260 --> :29.490
I was actually kind of hopeful that it would
get her off our backs and keep the peace that :29.490 --> :31.399
we had on the street before she came along. :31.399 --> :34.080
Our revenge plan revolved around an elaborate
art installation, a collaborative effort of :34.080 --> :35.390
local artists and our family. :35.390 --> :39.110
The installation would be centered around
the theme of rebirth and renewal, with elements :39.110 --> :42.549
representing the destruction of Florence's
art studio and the emergence of new artistic :42.549 --> :43.549
creations. :43.549 --> :44.549
The local community rallied behind our cause,
contributing their talents to the project. :44.549 --> :45.549
Each piece of the installation would be thought-provoking
and symbolic, designed to convey the resilience :45.549 --> :46.549
of art in the face of adversity. :46.549 --> :49.940
We aimed to use our creativity to awaken something
dormant within Mrs. Turner, to inspire her :49.940 --> :52.820
to confront her past and embrace the healing power of artistic expression.
:52.820 --> :53.990 Or, so we thought. :53.990 --> :57.930
As we worked tirelessly on the project, I
couldn't help but feel a renewed sense of :57.930 --> :58.930 hope.
:58.930 --> :05.040 Our revenge plan was not about revenge at
all, but about a shared love for art and the :05.040 --> :06.550
potential for transformation it held. :06.550 --> :10.580
It was a gamble, a daring endeavor to change
the course of a neighborly feud and bring :10.580 --> :12.980
about a positive, artistic renaissance for all of us.
:12.980 --> :15.890 I got to do what I love doing, same as my babe.
:15.890 --> :19.720 But more importantly, it would create a better
communal harmony. :19.720 --> :27.170
The day of our revenge event dawned with a
mixture of excitement and fear, for me at :27.170 --> :28.170 least.
:28.170 --> :34.020 I was sure that Mrs. Turner slept soundly
in bed that night and if David was nervous, :34.020 --> :35.940
he was sure not to show it. :35.940 --> :42.520
Our carefully crafted plan was about to unfold,
and its success hinged on our ability to convey :42.520 --> :44.000
a profound message through art. :44.000 --> :48.830
The Heart of Our Revenge was an art installation
that we created with the help of local artists :48.830 --> :50.470
and the community. :50.470 --> :56.560
It was a breathtaking transformation of the
space that had once been Mrs. Turner's source :56.560 --> :59.140
of pain, her burned-down art studio. :59.140 --> :05.600
We had reimagined it as a phoenix rising from
the ashes, a symbol of rebirth and renewal. :05.600 --> :07.400
And we made sure to invite her. :07.400 --> :10.120
As the event began, I watched Mrs. Turner's reactions closely.
:10.120 --> :13.110 She arrived with skepticism, her face etched
with curiosity and confusion. :13.110 --> :16.929
She couldn't help but be drawn into the artistic
narrative unfolding before her eyes. :16.929 --> :22.740
The installation depicted the destruction
of her past, but it also celebrated the resilience :22.740 --> :24.790
of art in the face of adversity. :24.790 --> :31.649
Each piece told a story, and the local artists'
talents shone through as they explored themes :31.649 --> :33.490
of transformation and healing. :33.490 --> :38.529
My heart swelled with pride as I witnessed
the impact our revenge had on Mrs. Turner. :38.529 --> :40.570
Well, I thought it was having an impact. :40.570 --> :44.490
I thought I saw her initial resistance gradually
give way to a quiet contemplation. :44.490 --> :48.049
The next morning, there was no sign of Mrs. Turner.
:48.049 --> :58.470 It was like she just decided to keep to herself
and away from the whole community. :58.470 --> :03.679
To be honest, I did not think that much of it. :03.679 --> :09.320
Maybe she was not in a social mood more than she had not always been.
:09.320 --> :13.590 Maybe she had a lot of work to do inside.
:13.590 --> :25.549 I had a lot of maybes going through my head
during the first three days that I did not :25.549 --> :26.809
see her. :26.809 --> :35.070 Wanting to be sure it wasn’t just me; I
asked my husband what he thought of it and :35.070 --> :42.740
he had the same idea. :42.740 --> :43.909 So, all was fine.
:43.909 --> :45.230 Or so we thought. :45.230 --> :51.080
By the next week, basically, six days after
the art gallery event that we had, I saw the :51.080 --> :52.080
moving trucks. :52.080 --> :56.200
At this point, I could not pretend not to be concerned.
:56.200 --> :03.919 So, what did I do? :03.919 --> :10.740
I matched straight to the front of her house and knocked.
:10.740 --> :11.799 I did not meet her. :11.799 --> :19.799
I heard from the young man who I thought was
a relative, most likely her child with the :19.799 --> :22.279
way they looked so much alike. :22.279 --> :30.980
He said that Mrs. Turner did not give him
the details but she showed up at his house :30.980 --> :56.270
the morning after the event and asked that
they help her move out of her house cause :56.270 --> :02.380
she couldn’t bear to be back there. :02.380 --> :16.950
I could not bring myself to tell him what
happened the day before she came to his house. :16.950 --> :51.550
The only thing I could say was that I noticed
that her presence was scarce in the last week :51.550 --> :07.530
which was why I came when I saw the moving trucks.
:07.530 --> :14.870 After this, I went back into our house with
the knowledge that in the end, we were not :14.870 --> :22.010
able to save Mrs. Turner, we ended up taking her run away from the town. | give me a good story on rNuclearRevengeEXBOYFRIENDSHREDDEDALLMYCLOTHESRedditStoriesRedditStoriesen |

:00.160 --> :05.320
today we have a great malicious compliance about
tracking your time at work we'll get into that
:05.320 --> :11.560
in a bit but first well if you're quoting company
rules I'll follow them exactly as it is this was
:11.560 --> :16.760
done by an ex- colleague well this happened a few
years ago when I was working as a techno manager
:16.760 --> :21.760 in an Indian startup it firm it was a small
firm with less than 50 employees and there
:21.760 --> :28.160
were two Founders let's call them Vicky and Joel
Vicki had worked a short time in an MNC but was
:28.160 --> :33.920
not able to stand Authority and had to design
whereas Joel had no real workplace experience
:33.920 --> :41.120
Vicki managed the place like a king show Tantrums
anger Etc Joel was simply a yes man to Vicki now
:41.120 --> :46.960
we had an HR lady who was okayish with the older
employees and strict with the newer ones as for
:46.960 --> :52.880
me I was not that good technically compared to my
colleagues but was good at people management also
:52.880 --> :58.040
I was one of the longest serving employees too I
was friendly with most of the employees especially
:58.040 --> :02.880
the new ones this was due to the fact fact that I
knew it was not easy to work with the founders and
:02.880 --> :08.640
I wanted the show to continue as it was my first
company too so a new join e named Bob joins and
:08.640 --> :13.920
after 6 months he's assigned to a project because
of the time zone difference he worked up to 4:
:13.920 --> :19.280
to 5:00 a.m. and the client to was happy with
him since he was sleeping late this guy always
:19.280 --> :26.600
reported at nearly a.m. in office out of
the blue founder calls me an HR and asks why Bob
:26.600 --> :32.360
is late to the office and said he has to be in
the office by a.m. like other guys by the
:32.360 --> :37.560
way forgot to mention Vicky and Joel came into the
office only once in a while and it was pre- Corona
:37.560 --> :42.920
times but since they're Founders Let's ignore
that HR lady took the responsibility of asking
:42.920 --> :48.880
Bob about that at this point since HR lady is not
aware of Bob's working hours I interrupted and
:48.880 --> :53.760
told them that he's leaving the office by only 2:
to 4:00 a.m. and it's kind of unfair to ask him to
:53.760 --> :00.240
come early Vicki Cuts me off and says no he has to
follow the rules and this is the basic etiquette
:00.240 --> :06.880
when working in this office I said okay HR lady
calls Bob in her office and questions him about
:06.880 --> :13.240
the timings to which Bob says okay ma'am we'll
comply now Bob and me have a good rapport and he
:13.240 --> :18.960
comes directly to me and tells me what's happened
with HR then I ask him what are you going to do
:18.960 --> :24.960
to which he says I'll ask for a clarification VIA
mail and then we'll comply I understood where it's
:24.960 --> :31.240
going and give him a best of luck trying hard to
contain my laughter after 10 minutes HR comes to
:31.240 --> :37.600
me with her laptop in a panic and shows me the
mail which Bob has sent he has cced the founders
:37.600 --> :43.640
the client head he's reporting to and have written
something along the lines of hi client head name
:43.640 --> :48.600 this is to inform you that as a request from
my office to comply to the office timings from
:48.600 --> :58.080
Tomorrow onwards my work timings would be
a.m. IST to 700 p.m. is I.E p.m. to 7:30
:58.080 --> :04.080
a.m. Chicago time I request you to change your
meeting times to the times when I am available
:04.080 --> :12.360
and if there are any inconveniences please contact
HR Vicky or Joel thanks Bob I asked the HR if this
:12.360 --> :17.000
was somewhere mentioned in the offer letter and
she nods yes then I tell her to take the matter
:17.000 --> :22.920
to Vicki at Vicky's room since the narcissist guy
he is scolds HR for not doing this in the offer
:22.920 --> :28.800
letter then asks her to correct this she goes to
Bob and asks for a correction to which Bob firmly
:28.800 --> :35.520
says no to HR lady being stupid says that she was
told this because Vicky asked her to and Bob still
:35.520 --> :42.320
stands firm and asks HR if Vicki said it then
ask Vicky to formally reply in the mail thread
:42.320 --> :48.160
asking to revert to his old timings Bob also said
that he is not going to get back to Old timings
:48.160 --> :55.440
unless Vicky mails and they have approximately 4
hours to do so before the client reacts HR comes
:55.440 --> :00.680 to me for help and we go together to Vicki's
room and brief Vicky lashes is out at HR and
:00.680 --> :06.480
at this point I interrupt and say it's better
to address the issue as in 4 hours the client
:06.480 --> :11.760
will get involved and we have to make a decision
before that Vicki hesitantly sent out an email
:11.760 --> :18.160
saying it was a mistake as Bob's special case was
not considered during the decision making and Bob
:18.160 --> :24.240
can continue his earlier timings as I walked back
to the office I saw Bob looking at me and laughing
:24.240 --> :30.880
really hard and I had to hold a straight face as
the HR lady was also behind me needless to say
:30.880 --> :37.480
Bob has his timings intact in a situation like
this where they clearly don't fully understand
:37.480 --> :43.280
the circumstances and they're asking you to do
something that makes no sense at all do you have
:43.280 --> :48.320
any obligation to speak up and try to argue that
point and say you do know this client I'm working
:48.320 --> :54.200
for is in Chicago right or is it better for them
to just learn the lesson to be more attentive to
:54.200 --> :58.800
their workers and what their workers are doing
you know before going and giving them grief like
:58.800 --> :04.880
this ALS so hi I'm Stephen and if you guys enjoy
awesome stories of malicious compliance why not
:04.880 --> :11.000
hit those like And subscribe buttons down below
that said our next story is I wasted 2 hours of
:11.000 --> :16.600
my sister's time because she refused to listen
to me when I was younger around a decade ago I
:16.600 --> :23.160
used to love two things cars and roads still to
this day I love cars but the way I loved roads
:23.160 --> :28.160
was through Maps my favorite activity when I was
bored was to go on the maps app and look on the
:28.160 --> :32.480
highways that surrounded my area area my oldest
sister at the time was the only sibling of mine
:32.480 --> :37.320
who had a license one summer day she was bored
and decided to take me and her boyfriend to an
:37.320 --> :43.040
amusement park an hour and a half away from home
The Story begins on the way back my father needed
:43.040 --> :48.080
the car at a car dealership as it was scheduled to
have routine maintenance done the next morning my
:48.080 --> :52.920
father sent her the address of the dealership and
requested that she drop the car off and he'll go
:52.920 --> :58.120
and pick us up at the dealer now that the context
is out of the way here is where my sister made a
:58.120 --> :03.560
mistake she typed in in the address and clicked on
the nearest place with that road the issue is that
:03.560 --> :08.880
the nearest place with that road was a town going
an hour in the opposite direction she gets onto
:08.880 --> :14.320
a road I'll call State Route 100 this intersects
with Interstate one which we were supposed to get
:14.320 --> :20.120
onto when she passes the highway this following
interaction ensues I say you were supposed to
:20.120 --> :25.840
make that right she says that's not what the map
says 5 minutes later I say again we are heading
:25.840 --> :30.560
in the wrong direction this does not go home she
says maybe it's it's an alternate route that's
:30.560 --> :36.920
faster I said I don't think a road going in the
opposite direction is faster she cut me off her
:36.920 --> :42.760
now annoyed listen I'm going to focus on what
the map says not on you just stop already and
:42.760 --> :47.600
with that I followed her instruction after all
why would I complain on going on a road I've
:47.600 --> :52.960
never been on from what I remember after that we
stopped for gas about half an hour in my sister
:52.960 --> :57.880
was still convinced that we were going in the
right direction but why should I correct her she
:57.880 --> :04.080
was listening to the map after all the Fallout
we hit an expressway and my sister is convinced
:04.080 --> :11.200
we made it home and is pleased with herself that
was until an overhead sign said Town B Regional
:11.200 --> :17.840
Airport 1 mile at this point my sister realized
her mistake she starts freaking out and saying I
:17.840 --> :23.080
didn't know this road went here I was following
the map op why didn't you tell me we were going
:23.080 --> :28.600
the wrong way I was scared of her getting mad at
me so I just said after you told me to stop I just
:28.600 --> :33.640
stopped paying attention to where you were going
she eventually pulled into a gas station and saw
:33.640 --> :39.800
where she set her GPS to after correcting her
mistake we had the opposite direction although
:39.800 --> :45.360
the car ride was rather silent we eventually see
signs for the amusement park we started at because
:45.360 --> :49.880
she had to turn left at the road I originally
told her to turn at and that is how I turned a
:49.880 --> :56.040
drive supposed to be an hour and a half into a 3
and 1/2 hour Journey years have passed since this
:56.040 --> :02.600
happened and I told my father who thought it was
hysteric I often consider telling my sister but we
:02.600 --> :09.320
sadly rarely speak anymore thank you for reading
have a happy New Year if I were an op's position
:09.320 --> :14.680
I don't think I would be able to sit there and
allow this malicious compliance to happen even if
:14.680 --> :19.600
you're afraid of upsetting them even if you know
they're going to blow up at you at some point when
:19.600 --> :24.280
you know that you're going the wrong direction
I would hate to have my time wasted like that
:24.280 --> :28.560 staying in the car for longer than necessary
especially if it's with somebody that you're
:28.560 --> :35.520
afraid of blow blowing up our next story is boss
introduces new time tracking tool to avoid time
:35.520 --> :42.040
manipulation backfires on him I work in a small
startup company of around 12 people it's a very
:42.040 --> :47.880
good atmosphere in the office and everyone pulls
their weight and is super motivated however our
:47.880 --> :55.080
boss likes to micromanage us even though he has
no expertise in any of our Fields Marketing design
:55.080 --> :00.040
accounting especially Us in marketing and design
suffer a lot from that since he'll make changes
:00.040 --> :06.120 to our strategies posts or website sometimes
without telling us and then gets upset at us
:06.120 --> :12.160
when the customer feedback is bad and we aren't
reaching our predicted goals so recently he told
:12.160 --> :16.320
us that the reason he thinks we aren't seeing
enough results is because we are manipulating
:16.320 --> :21.480
our hours and not actually putting in the work
we should until then we each wrote down our
:21.480 --> :26.720
hours manually in an Excel sheet but with the new
time tracking tool he would see how long we were
:26.720 --> :33.200
working down to the minute we could also Only log
in on our desk PCS and previously approved home
:33.200 --> :40.040
office devices but not mobile because if you're
not at your desk it is not work after our initial
:40.040 --> :45.160
shock passed and our boss left for the day our
manager called for a meeting and we came up with
:45.160 --> :52.120
a plan we would do as he says in the most just
following the rules way possible we would not
:52.120 --> :58.200
engage in work rated conversations with him unless
we are sitting at our desks and are clocked in
:58.200 --> :03.280
any questions by by him which are asked after we
clocked out will only be answered once we clock
:03.280 --> :09.360
in again the following day every phone call text
message or otherwise work-related things outside
:09.360 --> :14.680
of the office would only be answered once there
was an option for us to clock in either next day
:14.680 --> :20.480
in office or for some of us on our home office
device since we no longer have the option to
:20.480 --> :27.080
shift time manually all work minutes and hours
would be clocked exactly when they took place
:27.080 --> :32.920
side note in my country we s pay better Sundays
have to be paid double and working after 8:00
:32.920 --> :38.520
p.m. warrants additional Financial benefits by
law previously if we needed to post something
:38.520 --> :44.720
real quick or had a question we would just add the
weekend hours or late time to the upcoming Monday
:44.720 --> :51.240
basically out of Goodwill but no more of that we
would stop any independent activity like posting
:51.240 --> :58.400
on social media or writing an email and would send
him everything to approve before following through
:58.400 --> :03.320
after about a week our boss was so fed up with
this he gave us the option to clock in from our
:03.320 --> :09.320
mobile devices so he could get a more immediate
response to his questions however this of course
:09.320 --> :15.680
led to us clocking in way more frequently since
as I said he likes to micromanage and is therefore
:15.680 --> :22.360
asking a lot of questions I'm happy to report
that as of 2024 we have abolished the system
:22.360 --> :27.120
again and regained most of our independence and
even though our bosses still ticked about how
:27.120 --> :32.560
we exploited the system it brought the the team
closer together and hopefully taught him a lesson
:32.560 --> :38.000
honestly it just seems like in a place where the
time situation in general seems relatively good
:38.000 --> :45.240
and is working most of the time the attempts to
track it better or get more efficient especially
:45.240 --> :50.720
in the idea of trying to save the company more
money or be more efficient just ends up creating
:50.720 --> :57.160
more headaches than it's even worth our next story
is don't bother you anymore fine I won't I used
:57.160 --> :01.680
to live in an apartment building that had shops
on the main level the building next door was the
:01.680 --> :06.600
same the two buildings shared a wall my building
had aside parking and yellow paper notes to put
:06.600 --> :12.880
in our car windows a restaurant opened up in the
building next door their owner manager and staff
:12.880 --> :18.200
began parking in my spot as well as our neighbors
I spoke to the owner and she said she would talk
:18.200 --> :23.960
to them again but didn't think it would help they
were even parking in her spot every night I would
:23.960 --> :29.440
get home call them and ask that the vehicle be
moved I was getting tired of this when one night
:29.440 --> :34.400
they put the manager on because they were busy
and didn't have time to deal with my request he
:34.400 --> :39.840
did do it but told me that they wouldn't do it
again and I was to stop calling them I suggested
:39.840 --> :45.680
they stop parking in my assigned spot he told me
he had too many staff to control where they parked
:45.680 --> :51.240
and he was sure they were not parking in my spot
and it was probably a customer you know because
:51.240 --> :57.880
customers always park behind a business and then
walk around to the front to get in the next time
:57.880 --> :04.280
I worked I worked evening shifts I got home and
this time there was a Range Rover parked in my
:04.280 --> :10.600
spot I dutifully called the tow truck and not the
restaurant I had to wait for a second tow truck
:10.600 --> :15.480
because the first one was not equipped to move a
vehicle of that type something about being jacked
:15.480 --> :19.920
up and stuff they explained it and the waight was
because I didn't know enough to be able to answer
:19.920 --> :24.840
their questions about the truck so they could
send out the right truck first they towed it
:24.840 --> :31.680
and I went in and went to bed a few hours later I
was awake by a phone call from the towing company
:31.680 --> :38.200
I had towed the owner and he was telling them that
it was his parking spot and that I had no right to
:38.200 --> :43.960
tow him they were going to bill me for the tow
I told the caller about my landlord's parking
:43.960 --> :50.480
permits the numerous phone calls to have them
move about being told not to bother them anymore
:50.480 --> :56.160
and that his restaurant was in the next building
with a separate parking lot we said goodbye and I
:56.160 --> :02.440 never heard anything more about it I was was
also able to park in my spot after I told my
:02.440 --> :07.920
neighbor and he told me just to be safe I should
tell the owner of the other building I popped into
:07.920 --> :14.280
her shop and told her she replied with something
to the effect of you told the Range Rover I said
:14.280 --> :20.520
yes she started to laugh and basically said good
for you and told me it was the restaurant owner's
:20.520 --> :25.880
truck still makes me smile when I think of it I
mean I don't know what leg this guy thought he
:25.880 --> :31.880
had to stand on clearly with their business being
in totally separate parking lot and them having
:31.880 --> :36.720
legitimately no claim to that parking spot they
were just talking out of their butt were they just
:36.720 --> :42.240
hoping that op would be afraid and acques or maybe
they were banking on op not really knowing who
:42.240 --> :48.520
exactly owned the spot and just would be willing
to accept that this guy definitely owned that spot
:48.520 --> :53.040
I'd almost feel bad for the towing company being
caught in this confusing Crossfire if it weren't
:53.040 --> :58.560 for their businesses in those situations at
least as far as what I hear often sound kind
:58.560 --> :04.120
of predatory a lot of times a little too eager
to scoop up a vehicle and find somebody all that
:04.120 --> :09.560
money but with that being said that's all the time
we have for today now if you want to hear another
:09.560 --> :14.440 awesome malicious compliance story check out
that video on the left or if you missed my latest
:14.440 --> :20.120
video check out that video on the right that said

my mom lied to me about who my real dad is and he just showed up for the first
time my mom is 39 F I'm 17m and my real dad is late 30s maybe sorry if this is
incoherent but my mind is racing right now my dad died when I was 8 years old
well the man I thought was my dad did my mom dated other men but she's never
remarried or had a serious live-in boyfriend since so I've basically been
without a dad since I was eight but earlier today this man came into my work
I work at a movie theater in the concession stand by the way so this man
came in and kept letting people go ahead of him in line until I was done helping
the customer I was with I didn't think anything at first but this guy was kind
of nervous but was trying to talk to me he asked what I recommended eating and
what kind of movies I liked he seemed friendly but shy and I was just being
polite and having conversations like we're supposed to with customers anyway
he paid and left and I didn't see him when his movie finished because it was
busy or maybe he didn't even watch a movie I don't know anyway I got off work
a little bit ago and when I got home that same man was in my living room
talking to myom mom and it kind of creeped me out and my mom started
panicking when I asked who he was and she just kept saying he's no one he's
leaving but the man said he wasn't leaving until we talked and said she
needed to tell me the truth well you can
guess from the title he said he's my dad I just felt this twist in my stomach my
mom started rambling saying that my dad who died was my real dad how much he
loved me and took care of me and that this doesn't change that the thing is
something happened last year that made me question my mom about my dad and my
medical history she said she didn't know anything about it but today I just
yelled at her that she could have told me then and there that he wasn't my
biological father but she didn't I asked if this man was telling the truth and
she just started crying and nodding I guess I didn't notice at the theater
because it was never something I would even think of but looking at him it's
pretty clear we related since he looks so much like me or I guess I look like
he is more accurate he tried to talk to me and swore he never knew I existed or
he would have been in my life my mom didn't deny any of this I asked her if
this man was dangerous an abusive ex or something he was offended and she
assured me it wasn't that at all she wanted to sit down and talk but I just
felt so nauseous and overwhelmed so I just grabbed my keys and told my mom I
was staying at my best friend Josh's house for the night I came here and Josh
was sympathetic and let me vent but he fell asleep and now I'm just here awake
and my brain won't shut off I feel so betrayed by my mom how could she not
tell me the truth when I was little I understood but I'm old enough to know
where I come from it feels so unfair that she denied me a father for half my
life I loved my dad who died and I still
miss him but I've wanted a father for so long there's so much I've gone through
that I feel like having a dad would have
been so much better and easier I love my
mom and she's been incredible at raising
me but it's not the same as having a dad especially when this guy is my actual
dad and it seems like he would have been there if he knew I don't know what to
say to him or to my mom I know I have to
go home eventually but I just don't know what I'm supposed to say or do he
probably hates me and thinks I'm a crybaby because I cried and stormed out
I feel lost update one I think I did this right my first post is here sorry
for the length I just wanted to answer all the questions I got in the first
post also I tried to post this yesterday
but it wouldn't let me because it hadn't been 48 hours yet I know I didn't reply
to any comments after the first few hours that my original post was up I
woke up the next morning and saw a bunch of new comments though I didn't reply I
did read all of them good and bad I appreciate all the advice given and the
kind words spoken but like many people suggested the only thing I could really
do was talk to both of them to figure out what the real story was so I went
home and talked to my mom I was much calmer with a clearer head and was ready
to hear what she had to say I probably learned more than anyone should ever
have to about their own conception it turns out my father really isn't an
abusive ex my mom didn't cheat on My adoptive dad or anything shady like that
I'm just the product of a one night stand my mom said she went out drinking
by herself at a bar and met my dad who was celebrating his 25th birthday alone
she said she had just been dumped by her fiance Not My adoptive dad a different
man a week before that because she had learned from her doctor her that it was
virtually impossible for her to have children naturally she said she and my
dad used a condom and yet somehow she still got pregnant with me and I'm her
miracle baby considering the circumstances she went back to the hotel
that he took her to after she found out she was pregnant but they couldn't find
any information on my dad ever staying there he didn't give her his actual
first name explained in more detail later in the post she said this was
before social media was a thing so she couldn't just search him online like we
can nowadays so she decided she would just raise me on her own she also
admitted she panicked when my biod dad showed up because to her he was
literally just a guy she knew for one night 17 years ago she didn't really
know who he was now or if he was going to try to get custody of me or if I was
going to want to run away with him or something she admits she could have been
calmer from the beginning and maybe we could have all talked and sorted it out
that night but I don't blame her for it as for My adoptive dad the man who
raised me she said she didn't meet him until I was almost two they got married
when I was three he officially adopted me after they got married she showed me
the adoption certificate reflecting on it now I realize I've never seen
pictures of him and me when I was a baby just pictures of me as a toddler and up
she said he accepted me as his own loved me and was a father to me I told her my
BIOS shows that showing up doesn't rewrite history I'll never not see My
adoptive dad as my father if anything it makes me love him even more that he
treated and loved me as his own flesh and blood I also ended up talking to my
dad he left his number which my mom gave me we met up for lunch he confirmed my
mom's whole story I gave him sht about using a fake name it wasn't so cut and
dry he said he goes by his middle name which is what he told her that night he
showed me his business card which does have the name he told my mom that night
and I've since looked him up using the name he gave my mom which nowadays he's
very easy to find and his entire online presence uses his middle name he has
comments on his Facebook from friends and family calling him that name going
back years apparently he only goes by his actual first name for legal and
business reasons like checking into a hotel he said that night he was
depressed that his best friend didn't live to celebrate their 25th birthday to
together they had the same birthday and that's why he drove to our town to get
away from everyone and everything back home for a night he apologized a million
times and said he would have been in my life if he had known especially because
I inherited a medical condition from him and it really sucked dealing with that
and having to learn to adjust to it alone he was diagnosed with it when he
was 19 so he knew what I went through I could tell he genuinely felt awful about
it I asked him how he even found out about me and apparently he has a son who
is only 5 months younger than me so his ex-wife's mom is a teacher and she saw a
picture that my schools website posted of the academic team I'm on she had sent
it to my dad thinking I might be related to him because we look so alike he said
he has a brother he hasn't spoken to in over 20 years so they both initially
thought I could be his nephew but he found my Instagram which is public and
he said when he saw a picture of me and my mom on it he instantly recognized her
and he knew I was his and I know people will ask but no he did not cheat on his
ex-wife with my mom he didn't meet her until a couple months after the night
with my mom he even admitted they only got married because she got pregnant
early in the relationship and they're divorced now because they're not
actually compatible he offered proof and even called her himself right there to
confirm but I told him it wasn't necessary he had visited my mom earlier
the day that he visited me at work and confirmed with her even though he
already knew between my face and the math lining up but he said he went to
the theater anyway because even though he had seen pictures of me he said he
had to see me for himself in person he said we still need to do a DNA test to
establish paternity so he can add me to his insurance but between our faces my
birth date and us having the same rare medical condition it's obvious he's my
dad even the waitress made a nonchalant comment about us being father and son he
asked if we could start having visits to get to know each other and of course I
said yes I want to know him even though I still feel some anger toward him and I
don't really even know why exactly I want to have him in my life my mom said
I can't go to his house for Christmas or even at all he lives an hour away until
she feels comfortable with me leaving to visit him but she said he could come
visit on Christmas night and we'd go from there at the end of lunch I brought
out my debit card to pay for half of the meal I didn't really know what the
etiquette was for a first lunch with a biological parent as a teenager he just
laughed and said I'm his son and I don't ever have to pay for anything when I'm
with him I don't know why but that made me feel really good and then he made a
joke about owing my mom 17 years of child support anyway which really just
eased the whole situation he walked with me to my car and gave me a hug which
made me start crying I know it's cringeworthy and I was embarrassed that
I was crying in the middle of a diner parking lot but I just felt an instant
connection to him when he hugged me even though he's still basically a stranger
to me he said some stuff to me while he was hugging me and he just let me cry
for a couple minutes it's still early I know but I can just tell he's a good man
regardless of who he was when he met my mom and whatever happened that night I
mean he sought me out after learning about me so that has to count for
something right he could have pretended he never saw my Instagram or even after
talking to my mom and her sending him away or after meeting me at the movie
theater or after I stormed out when he came to talk that same night he had so
many chances to walk away but he didn't give up that shows me that he really
does want to have a Rel some time to set something up I also
very briefly talked to my half brother on the same call our dad kind of put us
on the spot I think he was just excited for us to meet we said hi and I said
Merry Christmas and he said it back and then he told our dad I don't know what
else you want me to say before walking away so yeah not the introduction I was
imagining but he and I are set to meet in person on New Year's Eve so I'm
hoping that meeting goes a lot better my dad showed up alone on Christmas night
half his brother was at his mom's house for Christmas and brought two huge boxes
of Christmas gifts he bought me a ton of clothes and shoes practically a new
wardrobe and I can actually see myself wearing most of the stuff he bought he
also got me an iPad Pro and a gaming PC he said he wanted to get me a PS5 but
they're notoriously hard to get so he's going to keep an eye out and grab me one
as soon as he can honestly I'm surprised he was able to get me as much as he did
considering we made the plan the week before Christmas he also bought my mom a
few things which I think really surprised her but she was very grateful
I actually felt really bad that I only got him one gift in comparison but
thankfully he really liked it I thought he didn't at first because he started
crying looking at all the pictures of me and started apologizing again saying he
was sorry he was never there but he did say he loved it and it was a very
thoughtful gift he especially loved that I made a page for our first Christmas
photo and that I asked if we could fill out the rest of the album together also
I did include one page of pictures of Me and My adoptive dad I didn't want the
album to be full of pictures of My adoptive dad so as not to seem
insensitive but I also wanted my biological dad to know he was an
important part of my life after that we just spent the night talking setting up
my new pc and watching It's a Wonderful Life my favorite Christmas movie before
I told him that it was my favorite he said it was in his top three Christmas
movies but now it's his favorite too because we watched it together it got
really late so my mom let him stay in the guest room so he didn't have to
drive back home he lives an hour away in
the dark and rainy weather he treated us to breakfast the next morning and
invited us to stay at his house for New Year's Eve which surprisingly my mom
said we could go one final note a few comments told me that my adoped dad was
and will always be my dad too and I agree 100% a couple days ago I went to
the cemetery to visit his grave and talk to him this is the first time I've ever
gone there alone truthfully I don't know if I really believe in heaven or the
afterlife but on the off chance that he is out there somewhere watching over us
I wanted him to know that no matter how close I may get to my biological dad he
will never replace My adoptive dad in my heart so that's about it I'm meeting my
half brother in person in a couple days and hopefully my paternal grandparents
soon after also we're getting the paternity test T done on Monday but that
really is just a formality mostly for insurance purposes at this point thank
you again for all the advice in both of my previous posts I hope you all had a
great Christmas and have a happy New Year | give me a good story on MyMomsBeenLyingAboutWhoMyRealDadIsIFINALLYFoundOutorig |

I looked through my husband's email and
I think I found evidence of him cheating
I'm not sure what to do I 30f don't know
where exactly to start he 32m is working late tonight or that is what he says so
I thought I'd take some time to write in and ask for advice sorry for this being
disjointed I've been pretty emotional and crying a lot this evening we have
been together since college and have been married for the last8 years right
after college graduation for me we were perfect for each other many friendships
have come and gone but we've always found contentment in each other we were
both adventurous and did some traveling together when we were first married we
argued but not a lot we had kids the first planned child was 6 years ago the
second surprise child is now three since having kids it's been tough to get time
together both of our parents live a few hours drive away so there aren't many
babysitters we've found that can handle our rambunctious boys my husband works a
demanding stressful job and has had to cancel vacation plans more than once
over the last 6 years because of a terrible boss we were seeing each other
for what felt like minutes every day and our children while wonderful demanded a
lot of our time and energy his boss changed about 6 months ago immediately
his hours became more reasonable and his
stress levels went down still long hours and travel some days but better we had
evenings together again but something was different it felt like We Were
Strangers just roommates who had kids together we were just so exhausted from
the last few years that we Must Have Spent A couple months using any spare
time we had once the kids were in bed crashing watching Netflix Etc just
boring stuff and all along I felt very disconnected from the man who was
supposed to be my partner so we talked about it I told him I missed him we had
a few conversations about feeling disconnected we hired a sitter went on
some dates and things started to feel better he's been more loving and
attentive he bought me flowers again I was feeling so hopeful like I was
getting my partner back about a month ago I noticed something I think I wasn't
supposed to he has been talking about this work trip coming up for a week in
August It's been a bit of a sore spot for me since in my mind summer is for
family vacations not work trips but I've
been being understanding however when he
was in the shower his phone beeped and I saw an email from someone named Allison
entitled our trip I felt a little weird looking at it but when I asked him about
it he checked his phone and told me it was a spam email I didn't think of it
after that but since then I haven't seen his phone left out again I found
something else about a week ago it was a
receipt for a jewelry store and it was a sizable sum money has never really been
terribly tight for us but even I was surprised by how much it was I felt a
sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach and I admit looked for his personal
laptop to see if I could snoop through his emails but he'd taken his personal
laptop to work something he'd never done I was getting nervous but somehow I
didn't want to bring it up with him maybe I was trying not to believe it but
this morning I found his credit card bill in his sock drawer why was he
hiding it you asked there were transactions going back over the last
month all for stores that men typically don't shop at I added them them up and
he has spent a few hundred on what looks like women's clothing and lingerie I
haven't seen anything from these stores in our house so who are they for he is
working better hours but is still away some evenings he could be spending at
least an evening a week with someone else I don't know what to think but I
fear the worst is there someone else was I too unavailable when our kids were
younger is he going on a trip with them is it this Allison person what am I
going to do if he leaves me he's buying her presents for God's sake doesn't that
usually mean a man is moving on or falling in love somewhere else I don't
know what to do I don't know any of his passwords so I can't Snoop I could call
his office to make sure he is actually there when he says he is but if I talk
to anyone I think I'm just going to start balling again he should be home in
a few hours what am I going to do I don't want to raise my kids alone I
don't want to be alone the comments are making me very scared I am thankful for
everyone who is talking to me though even when it's hard to hear I've calmed
down a bit read no longer sobbing and I'm going to call my older sister to
talk to a real person about this she lives a couple hours away but we have
always been close and she knows my husband well I will try to update again
later thank you again to everyone edit I just had a very strange conversation
with my sister I told her everything I was getting really worked up and
emotional and crying again she interrupted me and told me sis it's
going to be fine you need to calm down and talk to your husband when he gets
home I promise everything is okay hang up the phone take a bath or something
calm down down and wait for your husband to get home then she said she loved me
and she hung up what the hell is going on with my life today I feel like she
just blew me off she didn't seem to react to what I was saying but most
commenters here seem pretty sure that something bad is going on I feel like
I'm going crazy edit three right after I posted my edit about my sister in the
phone call my husband texted he said my sister had called him and he was on his
way home update one I immediately freaked out because I did not feel ready
to talk to him I was super pissed at my sister for calling him and to be honest
I felt like the entire world was falling down around my ears I broke down I
didn't even know where I was but when I heard the front door open I realized I
was on my knees in the kitchen sobbing my husband skitted around the corner and
when I saw him I just started crying harder he dropped to the ground in front
of me and started apologizing and I just lost it I started shaking my head and
saying no no no over and over again I couldn't even hear what he was saying he
tried to hugg me and I held my arms out all stiff like a kid does when they
don't want to hug just holding him back it took me a few minutes to register
what he was saying but he was repeating over and over I'm sorry for scaring you
please listen to me you need to hear what's going on I'm not cheating please
listen to me just over and over I finally stopped and just said what I was
just so drained and Confused it was good news I saw some of the comments in the
original post saying maybe it was a surprise and you folks get the grand
prize the story all came out after our big talk about reconnecting he called my
sister for advice my sister's idea was to have him Spirit me away for a
surprise weekend getaway while she and my bill took the kids she connected him
to her friend a travel agent remember Allison to get the ball rolling the plan
evolved into my sister and parents trading off with the kids for the week
the jewelry receipt is for a necklace for me to wear out to dinner on our trip
the credit card charges are for some fancy clothes in lingerie he got me for
the trip he took some of my clothes with
him to get the sizes right and got a lot of help from the salespeople he says
they are my style but they could be bags for all I care at this point so why the
surprise my sister told him that it would be better if it was a surprise
because it would be romantic that way she didn't count on me finding out early
and assuming the worst I have had mild anxiety issues all my life that have
been worse since having kids but this was the worst it's ever been I've never
felt so totally out of control in my life he didn't tell me all of this right
away some of it came out in that first moment in the kitchen but when I
realized it was not the end of my marriage I pretty much became incoherent
with relief this is embarrassing but I sobbed so hard that I vomited a little
at least it was on the lolium the rest he told me after I calmed down we talked
until late last night he showed me all the emails showed me our destination and
we got excited together I am not mad at him at all which he is relieved by
apparently my sister called him with a red alert get home now before your wife
calls a lawyer message she knows I have some anxiety issues so I may have to get
after her about the decision to keep this all a big secret for me
right now I'm too relieved to be upset I am a little concerned by how unhinged I
became I think I need to work on that it's not like me what am I going to do
if a real crisis comes along some people were saying that I'm codependent maybe
they are right but that's for later for now I'm enjoying my day with the kids
and looking forward to my trip thank you for all the advice and good wishes from
you all I'm sorry for worrying anyone you are wonderful people to spend your
time with ready to help a stranger through the screen I hope you're live
can all take an unexpected yet wonderful turn | give me a good story on ILookedThroughMyHusbandsEmailandIThinkIFoundEvidenceofHimCheatingImNotSureWhat |

aita for not buying my wife a horse I work in an intense unfulfilling job six
days a week my wife has not had a paying job since we got engaged 16 years ago 7
years ago I quit M changed the world a job which paid little but conferred
distinction and a sense of doing what is right for a mercenary awful job I hate
but which pays 10 times as much my wife enthusiastically supported indeed urged
my job changed to the higher paying but awful job for a while I held it all in
but over time particularly recently I've told her clearly that this job is
leading me to an early grave it is awful the people and crap I deal with every
day it is immensely stressful and not rewarding in the least but of course as
the pay rolled in our standard of living increased and the amount we spent each
month is eye watering last night at a cocktail party with my friends my wife
got drunk and on the way home tearfully told me that I just don't understand her
and that what she truly needs to feel fulfilled is a horse we know many people
with horses after a few questions where she kept replying that this horse or
that wasn't good enough for her our discussion devolved into shouting I view
this as a pretty simple thing I want to go back to a job I like someday I'd like
to reduce our spending so I don't need to work until I'm 80 my son wants to
visit Madagascar my point is that people's wants | give me a good story on AITAforNotBuyingMyWifeaHorse |

:00.170 --> :03.880 I live in germany, work in an Electronics shop.
:03.880 --> :06.120 This shop is inside a mall with some supermarkets.
:06.120 --> :09.990 I was quickly grabbing something to eat in
my break in a supermarket called "Aldi" , and :09.990 --> :15.530
while i stopped somewere next to a high shelf,
an old lady (maybe around 70years old) asked :15.530 --> :21.910
me if i can give her a box that was at the very top of the shelf.
:21.910 --> :30.460 I am a very kind soul and tried to get the
box but i am 1,50m big so i am verrrryy small :30.460 --> :31.960
and couldnt reach it. :31.960 --> :35.980
I even jumped but i still could not get the box. :35.980 --> :43.030
I told her i cant reach it and she should
ask someone else and walked slowly away while :43.030 --> :44.499
looking at my phone. :44.499 --> :45.789
The lady yelled at me " EXCUSE ME?! :45.789 --> :46.980
U dont want to help me?! :46.980 --> :47.980 Get me the manager.
:47.980 --> :48.980 Quick!" :48.980 --> :54.079
Well the lady didnt notice that i dont work
in the Aldi and had something else as workoutfit :54.079 --> :55.869
than the workers in the Aldi. :55.869 --> :59.319
The Aldi workoutfit is mostly lightblue but
mine is navy blue / dark blue with a orange :59.319 --> :01.029
star on the right chest. :01.029 --> :09.549
The fact that the lady didnt knew: I am a
daily customer and the manager knows and likes :09.549 --> :10.590
me a lot. :10.590 --> :15.729
I did like the lady told me, i brought her
the Manager but told him beforehand that the :15.729 --> :16.790
lady is rude and mad. :16.790 --> :22.979
The Manager heard her side of the story while
she was lying that i cursed at her, did look :22.979 --> :26.909
on my phone while work and dont care about customer wishes.
:26.909 --> :32.039 Her words: "You should fire her cause she
triggers my ptbs of my bad neighbours. :32.039 --> :35.619
I could have had a heartattack cause of your bad employee!
:35.619 --> :36.619 " :36.619 --> :40.390
After that the manager said " Thats sad, but
this girl did never work in my company. :40.390 --> :44.600
I dont know why you call out one of my dear regular customers.
:44.600 --> :50.789 This girl is everyday here and the nicesest
person who never swears infront of people." :50.789 --> :59.109
He called the security, and told her that
she is not allowed to shop in this mall anymore. :59.109 --> :02.619
She was like load airhorn yelling and crying at the same time.
:02.619 --> :06.679 Still screaming at me but crying to shop in
that Aldi again. :06.679 --> :10.970
The whole time i was pretty chilled and enjoyed the show.
:10.970 --> :15.349 At the end when she got escorted out, i even
waved and smiled at her. :15.349 --> :18.530
When i told the story to my boss he went to
the supermarket, watched the security cam :18.530 --> :19.560
footage and came back laughing. :19.560 --> :26.569
The last 4 hours of my shift my boss send
me home and told me that i deserved that. :26.569 --> :31.180
Afterwards i thought about this situation
and maybe the lady saw a person in a blue :31.180 --> :33.810
shirt and assumed that this person (me in that moment) works there.
:33.810 --> :37.269 On the other hand, she could ask if this person
works in this store. :37.269 --> :41.480
This is not a stupid question, it a totally
casual one cause everyone can be a customer :41.480 --> :42.480
or on break. :42.480 --> :46.880
This wasn’t a super long experience, or
as entertaining as some of the stories on :46.880 --> :47.880 here.
:47.880 --> :48.880 Simple misunderstanding.
:48.880 --> :52.430 For one of my jobs, I work at a retail store
across the hall from a pet store. :52.430 --> :56.069
My Boss is my ride home, and my shift ended before hers today.
:56.069 --> :59.980 So I figured I’d go across the hall to look
at clothes for my dogs. :59.980 --> :02.450
I was folding the tiny sweater I was just looking at, and putting it away.
:02.450 --> :03.450 Habit from working with clothes, so I guess
this is what made me look like employee. :03.450 --> :04.450
A gentleman walks in, and says hello to me. :04.450 --> :09.930
I figured he was a customer from my old job
that I just didn’t recognize right away, :09.930 --> :11.380
so I said hey back. :11.380 --> :12.650 Then this exchange happened.
:12.650 --> :13.650 Him: Hello. :13.650 --> :14.650 Me: Hey?
:14.650 --> :15.650 Him: Do you have fishnets?
:15.650 --> :16.650 Me: ... I’m sorry, what?
:16.650 --> :17.650 Him: Fishnets. :17.650 --> :18.650 Me:
:18.650 --> :19.650 Him: :19.650 --> :20.650 Me:
:20.650 --> :21.650 Him: :21.650 --> :22.750
Me: -realizes we’re in a pet store, and
he is not asking about my wardrobe- oh uh, :22.750 --> :23.750
I don’t know. :23.750 --> :24.750 I don’t actually work here.
:24.750 --> :25.750 He then apologized and walked away.
:25.750 --> :26.750 I don’t know if he realized how unsettled
I was at first. :26.750 --> :27.750
😂 I immediately left for my store, not
leaving the employee room until home time! :27.750 --> :28.750
This isnt as crazy as stories you hear...and its pretty short.
:28.750 --> :29.750 But it does count. :29.750 --> :30.750
Several years ago I had gotten a new cell phone number.
:30.750 --> :31.799 Thats lets say was 123-212-4567.
:31.799 --> :35.620 It was an easy number to remember (the actual
number) but there was a downside. :35.620 --> :38.020
At least once a week....sometimes more then once in a day.
:38.020 --> :40.180 Id get a phone call for the local sheriff's
department. :40.180 --> :42.340
Reason was there number was (not real of course) 123-121-123-4567.
:42.340 --> :43.340 Meaning very similar.
:43.340 --> :46.030 Same digits but the first 3 after the area
code were other way around. :46.030 --> :49.270
You'd think this would be enough to know what
number you were calling....or if you make :49.270 --> :50.634
a mistake get the last digit wrong or something. :50.634 --> :51.634
Nope. :51.634 --> :53.580
Often I got phone calls looking for a sheriff,
deputy, someone else was there, etc. :53.580 --> :56.450
Heck once to report a crime (I guess through none emergancy).
:56.450 --> :59.310 Each time Id have to explain this was a private
number. :59.310 --> :00.310 Explain their mistake.
:00.310 --> :04.189 Thankfully no one got rude and thought I was
lying so I can be lazy. :04.189 --> :05.189
Each time they thanked me and luckily never called me back.
:05.189 --> :07.890 But it was a common issue that drove me nuts.
:07.890 --> :11.220 I couldve ignored all calls I didnt recognize
but theyd likely call me back. :11.220 --> :14.580
I shouldnt have to change outgoing voicebox
message to say something like"you have reached :14.580 --> :17.460
"my name", if you are looking for sheriff, this is not them.
:17.460 --> :18.460 call them at 123-121-4567."
:18.460 --> :20.730 Eventually when I switched phone providers
I had the chance to get a new number. :20.730 --> :22.900
So got a new number and the calls stopped. :22.900 --> :27.280
I do get a wrong number call but typical and very rare.
:27.280 --> :32.860 I just hope the person who got my old number
is as kind as I was if they still happen.I :32.860 --> :35.790
used to work retail at my local mall for a
smaller company that sold casual women’s :35.790 --> :36.790 clothing.
:36.790 --> :38.730 A few stores down you would also see places
like H&M, forever21, Urban Behaviour and so :38.730 --> :39.730
on. :39.730 --> :43.040 I guess you could also say that the company
I worked for had very similar styles to the :43.040 --> :46.400
bigger fashion brands but at almost triple
the price point (won’t name where but it :46.400 --> :48.950
was a drop shipping type of store so they jacked up prices oop).
:48.950 --> :54.390 One day during my break, I was out to purchase
a belt at H&M since my store didn’t sell :54.390 --> :55.390
accessories. :55.390 --> :56.820
I was in a blue tie-dye tee with some baggy
jeans and a yellow hat (all clothes from my :56.820 --> :00.470
store) but I guess my mistake was the fact
that I had the store keys on a lanyard in :00.470 --> :01.470
my pocket. :01.470 --> :06.201
I was browsing the belt section looking for
my size and a few folks looked at me and seemed :06.201 --> :07.201
like they wanted to ask a question but weren’t sure if I was worked here.
:07.201 --> :08.201 Until one lady decides to start yelling “excuse
me” repeatedly. :08.201 --> :09.300
I thought there was another employee nearby so I ignored her.
:09.300 --> :10.300 I heard some angry footsteps and suddenly
a very loud “EXCUSE ME” from behind me :10.300 --> :11.720
and I turned around to see a lady holding about 10 items.
:11.720 --> :14.200 I didn’t say anything at first because obviously
I didn’t know who she was so I just stared :14.200 --> :15.200
blankly, waiting for a response. :15.200 --> :19.670
Then there was some awkward silence before
the lady said, “I’ve been trying to get :19.670 --> :20.670
YOUR attention and I need a change room.” :20.670 --> :21.670
I politely told her that I didn’t actually
work here and that I was on my lunch break :21.670 --> :22.670
and she angrily asked, “then WHY AM I STANDING HERE?”
:22.670 --> :23.670 I don’t know lady, your guess is as good as mine?
:23.670 --> :26.240 I'm sorry if this is the wrong subreddit for
this, it's a funny story and I feel like this :26.240 --> :27.500
is the best fit. :27.500 --> :31.640
I work for a very popular quick food chain that started in the Midwest.
:31.640 --> :35.950 During Covid, we had to close our lobby for
obvious reasons, so we resorted to putting :35.950 --> :41.360
up a tent (the ones you'd see at fairs) to
take orders outside in addition to our drive :41.360 --> :45.940
through because we can get very busy, but
we also don't want to waste labor by having :45.940 --> :50.480
someone out there all day, so we just send
someone to run out after we get x amount of :50.480 --> :55.020
cars lined up in the drive thru and it remains unmanned otherwise.
:55.020 --> :56.880 One day, we are having a slow afternoon.
:56.880 --> :01.800 I work in kitchen and an order starts to pop
up on the screen, which is weird because we :01.800 --> :05.910
have an overhead system that gives kitchen
the audio when someone is taking an order :05.910 --> :11.570
in drive thru so I know we don't have a guest
in drive and we have our breaks done, so it :11.570 --> :12.700
isn't one of my coworkers' food. :12.700 --> :18.110
I call up to frontline to ask who's ordering
and they are at a loss, so I look at the screen :18.110 --> :22.620
again and it says that it's coming from the POS that we have outside.
:22.620 --> :29.030 Our POS isn't the easiest to navigate, or
at least wasn't at the time, and usually requires :29.030 --> :33.700
3-5 days of training to get someone used to
all the different menus on it and to get them :33.700 --> :39.630
to remember asking for sauce on orders with tenders and condiments on burgers.
:39.630 --> :45.450 Turns out, some customer had decided to take
his own order on the POS outside, without :45.450 --> :47.370
issue, and cashed himself out. :47.370 --> :51.780
(We dont have a register out there, you can
only pay with card, so we weren't worried :51.780 --> :53.060
about him stealing.) :53.060 --> :58.710
He even added his own side of sauce, he gave
himself a number for the order, and he tendered :58.710 --> :00.600
it to the right location. :00.600 --> :04.860
A few of us managers were curious if he would
be interested in a job because we are always :04.860 --> :08.140
in recruit mode, but he politely declined. :08.140 --> :12.450
Everyone on shift thought this was hilarious
and the story was circulating around the store :12.450 --> :43.150
for a week or so because we found it so funny. :43.150 --> :44.470
Most recent case for me. :44.470 --> :49.050
I was looking around the store looking for
something, I can't seem to remember what, :49.050 --> :53.680
when this women began to talk to me asking
me where this type of alcohol was, now mind :53.680 --> :57.550
you I'm 16 I don't know, I told her I didn't know. :57.550 --> :59.710
She said I CLEARLY worked there. :59.710 --> :01.650
I sighed and said I didn't. :01.650 --> :04.870
My parents were at work and I would have called one of them if they weren't.
:04.870 --> :08.780 This went on for awhile while I was walking
looking throughout the store for this item :08.780 --> :14.120
for myself and then an actual employee who
worked there asked what was going on and that's :14.120 --> :18.500
when I heard it, "This disgusting woman says she doesn't work here!
:18.500 --> :22.140 She clearly does and I need help finding this
alcohol." :22.140 --> :24.620
Now both me and the employee were weirded out. :24.620 --> :28.490
I had a they/them pin on and it was in a very obvious place.
:28.490 --> :32.890 The employee apologized to me for the woman
and said they could show her where it was. :32.890 --> :37.339
She threw a few more insults at me, which didn't faze me at all, and left.
:37.339 --> :42.289 I just grabbed a few things I didn't go there
for at all and payed and left going back on :42.289 --> :43.380
the bus. :43.380 --> :47.560
The lady saw me boarding the bus as well so I think she figured it out.
:47.560 --> :50.661 I'd like to preface this by saying that the
language used by the awful person in question :50.661 --> :51.661
is not language I condone or use myself. :51.661 --> :52.661
Realising that I've actually had two IDWHL
experiences a few years ago, both hilariously :52.661 --> :53.980
enough within days of each other. :53.980 --> :55.160
This however was the rudest/worst person. :55.160 --> :59.660
Part of my job at the time was collecting
food for clients, so I find myself entering :59.660 --> :02.150
an establishment that Prince Andrew loves and goes to a lot (jokes).
:02.150 --> :06.660 When I go in, the host greets me and I give
him my order number, he tells me it'll be :06.660 --> :08.080
about 20mins, but please wait. :08.080 --> :13.790
All good I tell him, I'm not in a huge rush
and I've bought my kindle for this exact purpose.. :13.790 --> :17.580
So I can set the picture, it's winter, so
I'm dressed in jeans, a big black, thick jacket :17.580 --> :18.649
and a bright purple beanie. :18.649 --> :22.209
The restaurant staff in question are in smart, white shirts and suit trousers.
:22.209 --> :24.540 No beanies, no jeans, no thick, winter coats.
:24.540 --> :29.990 There was a couch for waiting customers next
to the host stand, so I sit down and start :29.990 --> :30.990
reading. :30.990 --> :34.860
At some point, the door opens and I'm vaguely aware of a draught of cold air.
:34.860 --> :37.100 AH (girl): ahem, ahem, AHEM, AHEM
:37.100 --> :39.880 I'm completely oblivious that I am the subject
of the ahems. :39.880 --> :40.880 AH: foot stamp and another ahem
:40.880 --> :44.120 I look up, see an angry heck demon practically
jumping out of her skin. :44.120 --> :45.120 Her eyes buggy.
:45.120 --> :48.839 She's well dressed but wearing a comically
large hat that makes her looks like she's :48.839 --> :49.880
being abducted by a UFO. :49.880 --> :53.730
Me: oh, I'm being served, you can go on ahead :53.730 --> :56.550
AH: (she interrupted me) table for two. :56.550 --> :00.480
Me: err, sorry I don't work here? :00.480 --> :01.720 AH: DO . .YOU.
:01.720 --> :02.720 . SPEAK. :02.720 --> :03.720 . English?
:03.720 --> :04.720 TABLE FOR TWO! :04.720 --> :06.269
I'm baffled here, completely taken aback :06.269 --> :07.920
AH: ARE YOU DEAF? :07.920 --> :10.370 Me: ahh, I don't work here
:10.370 --> :12.230 AH: ARE YOU RETARDED?
:12.230 --> :20.010 I WANT A TABLE FOR TWO
:20.010 --> :24.269 I gave up trying to speak and thankfully the
host came over at this point. :24.269 --> :27.740
AH Girl gives me the filthiest look possible
and mutters under her breath about me being :27.740 --> :30.240
'special needs and ugly' and stomps after the host.
:30.240 --> :34.680 Her boyfriend/whatever sort of shrugged like
this was normal behaviour and followed his :34.680 --> :36.000
awful girlfriend to their table. :36.000 --> :40.740
I work for a major transportation company
and one thing that they have where I work :40.740 --> :46.009
is a phone since the phones are interconnected
all you have to do is dial extensions we rarely :46.009 --> :47.810
get an outside of company call. :47.810 --> :51.740
Where I am working now I have to answer the
phone for the specific section since I am :51.740 --> :01.500
the only one there and up until a certain time I only got work related calls.
:01.500 --> :07.050 Than one day I answer my usual response mini
load I get someone asking to make an appointment :07.050 --> :09.670
with a podiatrist. :09.670 --> :14.760
I had to say sorry wrong number while holding
in a laugh thinking when did a podiatrist :14.760 --> :16.050
office move into a transportation warehouse. :16.050 --> :21.940
I think another wrong number came in for a person or pizza place.
:21.940 --> :32.480 And the most recent was a person trying to
do a survey or a petition. :32.480 --> :40.949
That woman was trying so hard to keep me on
the phone even after I tried explaining you :40.949 --> :47.320
are calling a warehouse not a residence and we can't do what she is asking for.
:47.320 --> :50.070 I ended up hanging up on her.
:50.070 --> :54.630 I am still waiting for the car warranty scam
to call.This morning I went downstairs and :54.630 --> :55.879
stepped on a granola bar wrapper. :55.879 --> :00.779
Confused, I followed the bits and found a
trail of wrappers on the floor leading from :00.779 --> :01.779
the pantry. :01.779 --> :07.689
My puppy had somehow gotten the door open and broke into a box of granola bars.
:07.689 --> :27.809 Panicked, I :27.809 --> :56.310 called
the vet's number that is programmed into my :56.310 --> :22.009
phone as the bars had that artificial sweetener that
:22.009 --> :25.390 can kill dogs. :25.390 --> :35.190
Reception: Garble garble new deal Sirius radio... :35.190 --> :56.939
Me: Basically shouting into the phone that I was worried my dog was dying
:56.939 --> :20.379 Reception: Ok I hear you, but this is Townname
Lexus.... :20.379 --> :24.480 Me: Can't you help me?
:24.480 --> :34.830 Reception: I think you need to call your vet...but
I hope your puppy is OK! :34.830 --> :44.399
Me: Suddenly dawning on me what she was saying...Whoops, so sorry!
:44.399 --> :58.190 Readers, I was the confused customer.
:58.190 --> :10.379 Lady at the Lexus dealership, thanks for being
nice. :10.379 --> :50.480 I did get ahold of the vet who assured me
the sweetener is not the kind that kills dogs, :50.480 --> :55.149
and since my puppy is already pretty big, that it should be fine.
:55.149 --> :03.889 My pup just got a tasty snack and I got a
memorable morning. | give me a good story on rIDontWorkHereLadyHOWIBEATTHEEVILKARENRedditStories |

I fell for my married massage client who lied about being divorced caught him
cheating years later teamed up with his actual ex-wife and ruined his life now
he's jbless and homeless my stbx 40m and I 32f first started seeing each other
just over 5 years now I'll be referring to him as Don just for privacy sake Don
came in as one of my massage clients and we just sort of hit it off right away I
had just gotten out of a previous relationship I had lost a bit of weight
I just got back from a solo trip to South America and was feeling flirty and
fun Don was coming in to get a massage one every 2 months at the time he was a
police officer who had just transferred from a smaller town to the big city he
said he was recently divorced and it had
been rough and he asked for the transfer for some space from his ex-wife Miranda
and her family he said he grew up in the small town so everybody knew everybody
and it wasn't too popular for a man like
himself to be walking away from his wife who was a stay-at-home mom to his two
kids 14f and 11m he said she was incredibly manipulative and abusive
towards him for years they had been together since they were 14 and it was a
bit taboo for a man to be talking about how his wife was abusing him so nobody
had really believed him and his parents were shaming him a bit for abandoning
her anyways he was in rough shape and we had bonded over our recently failed
relationships because I too was in a pretty manipulative and emotionally
abusive relationship on the third appointment he built up the nerve to ask
me out to this Botanical Garden just outside of the city he ended up picking
me up at my place in his ghost car police cruiser and he was showing off
and trying to be cute by putting the lights on and we'd speed through the
streets and down the highways until we got to the gardens it was thrilling and
hot at the time I will admit anyways he ended up having a really good time and
he asked me out on another date we went on a few more dates after that in the
span of two months and at the end of those two months I don't hear from him
for a while I'm just thinking he lost interest so I just go on my Merry way
then another month goes by and he calls me up and apologizes for not getting to
me sooner and he feels terrible and tells me he has to tell me something and
I say oh here we go here in my mind I'm thinking he's just going to tell me
being in a relationship so soon isn't going well for him and he jumped in too
soon and all of that BS I'm expecting him to say he's not interested in seeing
me anymore well I agree to see him and he picks me up and takes me to this
coffee shop by my house and drops this bomb that he's still married I say why
did you lie he said he's in a bad relationship everything he said about
her being abusive is true I just haven't actually moved out of the house yet
because I'm too afraid and I don't want to lose my kids well I get up to leave
and he begs me to stay and he says he's sorry for lying but he just hasn't ever
felt this way before for someone blah blah blah so I entertain him and I stay
and hear him out and I feel ashamed to say this but I actually believed
everything he was telling me at the time because I had experienced such bad
emotional abuse from my previous boyfriend that he just left me in a
really bad place I could empathize with everything he was saying because I had
experienced it too anyways blah blah I ended up staying with him but I said
only if he moves out of the house he's in because he was off still living with
his wife at the time and he starts the separation process K Don agrees within
that same week he tells his wife he's leaving her he takes his trailer and
Parks it at a buddy's property long story short here they go through the
separation process where I'm from you have to be separated for at least a year
in order to start the divorce process so within that Year Don goes from staying
in his Park trailer and then winter comes and he moves in with me his
daughter goes and see with him and he doesn't tell his friends or family about
me because he doesn't want anybody catching on to the fact that he was
still married when we started dating anyways fast forward a year and he files
for divorce but she has a fit and claims that she's scared of him and what he's
capable of and something along the lines of she's scared of what he'll do to
himself she files a restraining order against him so he can't see his kidss or
go by the house and because he's a police officer there's an investigation
and they take his gun away and has to work behind a desk for some time before
the investigation is complete his daughter is still NC with him too by now
his mom and dad a few friends and his ex and kids know that he's seeing me but
they think we've just been seeing each other for a few months fast forward
about 6 months and the restraining order is lifted and the investigation is
complete and he's back to active duty he's been deployed to a difference
Province for work and training quite a few times as well so he's been gone
quite a lot and away from home I don't think anything of it he's always talking
to me and checking in and gives me a detailed schedule of what his days look
like yeah I might have even Googled a conference or two and called the hotels
he's claimed to be at making sure that he's actually staying where he says he's
staying and that the conferences actually existed every time I had a
doubt I always double checked and everything checked out a few years go by
we end up buying our own place together and it's so beautiful literally the
house of my dreams it's on about 4 acres of land and it's right off of a lake he
tells me that the divorce is finalized he proposes to me we're engaged his son
comes over every second weekend and spends the weekend with us Everything
feels good we're happy well I go to start planning a wedding and book
appointments to see venues but he becomes distant and uninterested he
keeps saying there's no rush there's no rush and I say I know there's not but I
just want to go and see so we can start making some goals so we know what we
want when the time comes or just get little bits done here and there he
obliges but when we go to see the venues and people are asking when we're
thinking of getting married we can't give them an answer he says there's no
rush we don't have a date yet then he says oh maybe in the next 2 to 3 years
and I say what 2 to 3 years and then we start arguing in front of this woman
who's showing us around this beautiful Hall she sort of gets the hint that I
want to speak to Don privately and ends up giving us some space by this point
I'm so embarrassed I'm like what do you mean by two to 3 years and Don said I
don't want to rush into things after just getting divorced it looks bad and
I'm like well why did you propose to me and he said because I love you I said
then what are we waiting for then he comes out and says he hasn't been
totally truthful to me I say what the does that mean and then he says
that he's not officially divorced yet and I say I thought you took care of
that he says there was something wrong with the paperwork and she didn't sign
it and I said so you're technically still married and yet you propose to me
and I said well I proposed because I signed the papers and sent them off to
my lawyer thinking that she wouldn't have a problem with them and sign them
she's just being a about it and is giving me a hard time because she
doesn't want me to be happy I call BS and I say this engagement is called off
and he says whoo wait he said I still want to be with you I want to marry you
and I'm like I don't want to marry someone who's lying to me I said you've
lied to me once before and I thought we were over that anyways long story short
I ended up telling him to pack his things and stay at a buddy's place for a
while until I go over some things he's gone for two weeks and in that time we
do some talking and he said he didn't want to tell me because he didn't want
me to leave him and he's so sorry and it's not that he doesn't want to be with
me he said he's just afraid of Confrontation he says all these things
and he's like let's go to counseling together I'm serious about this I'm
serious about you blah blah blah i' Qui I didn't just call it all off at this
point but dum agreed to coup's counseling but I still call off the
engagement until he's officially divorced he moves back in and we go to
counseling and private therapy 8 months go by and he is officially divorced I
see it for myself the next day we go camping to celebrate and he takes me up
into some hills through this path and down by a waterfall where he proposes
again stupid me says yes but at this point I feel like we've made some
progress in our relationship his daughter has also started talking to him
again so we're feeling pretty relieved I chalk up his weird behavior in off days
before that to the fact that his daughter had hasn't been talking to him
and they were pretty close before he separated from his Miranda well in this
time he's been deployed a few more times
and has been away from home for weeks at a time I started running my own clinic
and it's been crazy hectic I've been distracted with that one time he comes
home from deployment he tells me he has to take a colleague of his out of
Province because he can't drive on the medication he's on I say why can't he
take a bus or a plane and he says that the guy has a fear of flying and he
doesn't want to pass out on the bus with the medsis on well my guts telling me
something's off and I try to tell him that I don't want him going and it's a
back and forth but he says that since he's his Superior he feels like he can't
say no so I'm like okay I guess so he leaves on a Sunday and he's back on a
Tuesday then when he's back he's sort of distant and I see him on his phone
outside while he's doing yard work and he's smiling and laughing and whatever
and when I ask who he was talking to he says it's the colleague of his who he
drove out of Province okay then about 2 weeks goes by and it's my cousin's
wedding and we're at the reception he's had a few drinks and then a random
person comes up a friend of my cousins and she's looking for an empty chair and
then he straight up tells her that she can sit on his lap and tries to grab her
and I'm sitting right there next to him in disbelief my other cousin looks at me
and she's like the and she sort of tries to pretend it didn't just happen
and the chick he told to sit on his lap sort of just laughs awkwardly and walks
away then I go to the washroom and I'm completely pissed off and by the time I
come back he's dancing with some other woman and I see my brother there and ask
him to drive me home while I'm home I go
onto his iPad because I'm curious to see if he's connected his messages to his
iPad sure as heck there they are it's under some fake name Mark and there's
flirting back and forth sexting nude picks and videos exchanged you name it
and the days he said he had to drive a colleague you guessed it that colleague
was in fact Mark who is in fact a woman with a blonde pixie cut who I'll call
Liz he spent the days with her and on the days he's been deployed he's come
back a day earlier than he told me he was and had go straight to her house to
hook up and he'd drive to our home the next day pretending that he just got in
from wherever he was i' take screenshots of everything and I send them to myself
then I send them to him and tell him to not come home I tell him we're totally
done I don't get a response right away he's probably passed out somewhere or
hooking up with someone I've also locked the doors to the house and I know he
can't get in because I took the keys home with me and my purse and we don't
keep a spare outside anywhere my brother had picked us up anyways the next day I
wake up to text messages and voicemails in the morning saying he's sorry all
that jazz I block him then around noon I get a call from my cousin and she's
saying that Don is sitting in the hotel lobby and he is saying I left him there
without a way to get home and I said he should ask the woman he was dancing with
for a ride home and she said what and I said he's not allowed home and she got
the hint I then get a call from Don's brother saying that he's got to come
over and pick up some stuff for Don and I said I'll have all of his packed
and outside on the driveway his brother drives up the driveway and Parks outside
the house and I can see Don come out in the clothes he was wearing at the
wedding and he comes up to the front door and tries the door but it's not
open then he goes around the back and tries that but it's also locked then I
watch him try the windows to see if maybe we left any unlocked no luck he
starts yelling my name and I'm watching his brother pack his stuff into the back
of his truck he starts yelling at me saying that he's sorry and he's saying
that I can't keep him out of his own house blah blah then after about 15
minutes they both leave a few days go by and I get a text from Miranda asking
what happened with Don he was supposed to pick up his son from hockey practice
but didn't show up and she can't get a hold of him she's checking to make sure
he's alive well I text back and say I wish he were dead and she says wo hope
all is okay then I do something that I've never done before and I call her I
tell her that I'm so sorry that I ruined her marriage and that I up
the girl code and I literally told her everything I said I dated her husband
behind her back and I told her what he told me about her everything she
honestly took it surprisingly well she said she figured that he was cheating on
her she said he was never home and she said that her daughter caught him
texting another woman may or may not have been me and she asked him about it
and he totally denied it and gaslit her and made her think that she was crazy
and then that's where the NC came about then she admitted that she got a
restraining order because she was legitimately afraid of him because she
wanted to Spill the Beans to their family and friends about what a scum bug
he was but he threatened to kill her then he threatened her again and
basically made her life a living hell with stalking and such until she lifted
the restraining order this whole time I told her that he was telling me that he
was afraid of her and that she was the abusive one she said it was totally the
other way around she said he manipulated her enough that she was afraid to talk
to anyone and she was super depressed she said there were so many times that
she wanted to just call me and tell me everything but that she was afraid I
would think she were crazy and wouldn't believe her Don told her that if he ever
found out that she reached out to me that he'd get her arrested and take the
kids away from her so yeah I get it well after talking a bit more I said that I
was going to pick her up the next day and that we'd go and file a report
against him she wasn't sure at first but
I talked her into it and I said that she wasn't alone and that I'd have her back
and that we're in this together so we filed a report they opened up an
investigation I got word that he was suspended with pay due to domestic
violence a few months went by and I got a call from Miranda and she said that he
had been fired and she had a restraining order placed on him to protect her and
the kids I ended up getting one two because we didn't know what he was
capable cap able of he's currently living in his trailer on his buddy's
property homeless and jobless he'll never be in the police force again and
has been disowned by his parents and his
kids won't talk to him he's been branded abusive and a cheater and his community
hates on him his buddy had come by to pick up the rest of his stuff even
though a lot of the furniture and house goods were mine he picked up a chair
some outdoor things a gun safe and little things here and there Miranda and
I have hung out quite a lot during this whole process and we become actually
really good friends I still see the kids and his daughter is still iffy about me
but she's warming up to me even though I totally understand where she's coming
from I bought out the rest of the house and it's officially all mine I got that
snake out of my hair and I still enjoy a nice cup of coffee on my deck in the
morning overlooking the lake life is good thanks for listening to me ramble
now on to the next story story two caught my wife cheating on me with her
sister's husband so I checked her phone gathered evidence and exposed them in
front of whole family now they're both divorced and disowned I 32 male was
married to my ex-wife 28 female for 2 years it still shocks me that after all
the promises my ex-wife made to me she stooped so low and cheated on me my wife
and I first met at my cousin's college graduation ceremony she had also come to
attend her brother's graduation and we got along well after the ceremony she
gave me her number at request but it took me weeks for her to finally take my
calls after weeks of her not taking my calls I coincidentally bumped into her
one day and she apologized for not taking my calls and offered that we
should go to the movies together going to the movies was our first date and
from there multiple dates followed and we ended up marrying after a year of
dating in the beginning marrying my wife brought me so much happiness she ticked
all my boxes and everything was smooth between us she was great in bed a good
cook and she took good care of me we were always so happy together and I
loved what we shared while my wife worked as a data entry clerk I worked as
a heavy machine technician and what we earned was enough to take care of us
aside from being happy that I married my wife I was also glad she had a great
family I grew up with my dad and he raised me as a single Le parent and the
only cousin I had was my dad's younger sister's daughter one of the things I
always looked forward to was a family of
love and that's what my wife had she had two brothers and one sister plus her
parents her family were so close to each
other and since we all lived in the same town we used to hang out once every
month as a family unit whenever we had a picnic family dinner or a gathering all
of my wife's siblings would come with their spouses and this was how I got
close to one of her brother-in-laws my wife's sister's husband we were around
the same age which allowed us to bond well most times if my wife and her
sister were hanging out or going out of town for the wedding of a mutual friend
or an extended family member her brother-in-law and I would go out for a
couple of drinks or watch football together as time passed he wasn't just
my favorite brother-in-law we became very good friends months after my wife
and I clocked a year together I noticed she was getting closer to her sister's
husband it's not like there was anything wrong with being close to her sister's
husband but I felt something was different with their relationship and
some other changes followed for example if we went for a family dinner my wife
would talk to everybody except her brother-in-law which was very unlike her
and if her brother-in-law and I were hanging out and I mentioned my wife in
our conversation he would avoid the topic and chip in something else
regarding their closeness if we all went somewhere maybe the park or shopping
mall my wife would prefer to hang with her sister and husband than with me if
we sat at a table to eat together she would prefer to sit next to him and
leave me alone wherever I was I quietly washed her for months to ensure my head
was not messing with me around the same time I noticed all these changes my
wife's attitude towards me changed two it got so bad that we could not Converse
without her mentioning her brother-in-law's name our intimacy
dropped too and she barely allowed me to touch her whenever I tried to she'd
complain about being tired or not being in the mood sometimes she'd even say she
was seeing her monthly flow even when I knew she wasn't before I suspected
something was going on between her and her brother-in-law my wife did not care
about her looks whenever we wanted to hang out as a family unit but she
suddenly became so concerned she'd wash and curl her hair in advance pick out a
dress that would expose her thighs and cleavages and ply makeup it became
evident that she was trying to look good for a reason and even her sister and
other family members noticed the great difference the whole time I had been
suspecting my wife deep down I wanted to
be wrong but one night after waiting for almost an hour for her to stop chatting
and blushing on her phone and spend time with me she said she was tired as usual
and slept off I was so hurt by her actions and neglect that I went through
her phone to see who had been making her blush like that when I accessed her
phone and went through her social media accounts I stumbled on her messages on
Whatsapp with her sister's husband she saved his name as bestie with three love
emojis and I suspected he was the one before I opened their conversation I
could not believe what I saw when I went through their conversation Not only was
my wife having an affair with her bill as I suspected but they had also
exchanged nudes even that evening he had sent her pictures of his private part
and wrote a long erotic text of all the nasty things he would do to her when
they met again they planned to meet in a cheap motel in 2 days and they kept
recounting their last Escapade together I was so disappointed and didn't know
how to feel to even think that they were making jokes about her getting pregnant
for him and keeping the child I felt so Betrayed at that moment I felt like
stuffing her with a pillow I had to control my anger because she wasn't
worth getting a life sentence for shortly after I was done with my
emotional meltdown I had an idea to teach her a lesson so I took screenshots
of their conversation especially the parts where he sent her his nudes and
they mentioned meeting at the motel to have fun then I cleared all traces that
I went through her chats that night I couldn't sleep at home because I was
hurt and kept crying like a baby even though I suspected something was fishy I
still could not believe my wife would break me like that after all our
promises to each other the following day I went to work from the motel I spent
the night at and she kept calling me the whole morning to find out why I wasn't
at home when she woke up I cooked up a lie for her and I told her I'd be home
after work when I got home that evening she could tell something was wrong but I
told her I had a bad day at work meanwhile the following day she had
planned to meet with my bill at the motel she didn't know I had called her
sister and explained everything she was more shocked than I was and promised she
would not confront her husband also I created a WhatsApp group chat added all
her close family members to it and told them everything I found out I dropped
the screenshots I took there so everyone could see and they couldn't believe it
her sister kept doubting that my wife would do such a thing to her after
everyone was out of their shock phase we
all planned to go to the location of the motel they would be using so we could
catch them in the act on D-Day which was a Saturday I watched as my wife dressed
her best did her makeup and lied to me about going to see one of her oldtime
friends who had just given birth I acted all calm and watched her as she left
about 10 minutes after she left I drove to the location and notified her family
that she was on the Move eventually we all rended at the motel as planned and
decided to go to her room there were five of us excluding her father when we
got to her room I knocked and pretended to be room service and she opened the
door with a white towel wrapped around her chest the moment she saw that I was
the one she froze then we all entered the room one after the other her bill
was in the bathroom and when he heard voices and came out to see us he ran
back into the bathroom and refused to come out my sister in-law was so
heartbroken and she attacked my wife right there I told her to her face to
not bother coming home and that she'd be hearing from my lawyer soon her mom and
brothers could not even say anything to her they all stood there in awe I left
the room and left them there so she could deal with her family immediately I
got home I threw her stuff out of my house and contacted a divorce lawyer to
start processing our divorce papers she tried to call me and beg a couple of
times and I told her she was insane to think I'd take back a Shameless cheat
like her the worst was that she had no one to turn to her family dis owned her
and her sister cut all ties with her because she couldn't handle the Betrayal
I had to divorce her and officially get rid of her her sister also divorced her
husband and my wife had to move in with her friend before she left town later I
found out that their Affair started under my roof and they had it going long
before I suspected something was happening my wife claimed she continued
the affair with her bill because he was not as boring as me I guess she will
have enough fun living with disappointed family members for the rest of her life
I'm fine now but I've decided to not marry again it's better to be alone so I
don't experience such disappointment and heartbreak again | give me a good story on IFellforMyMarriedMassageClientWhoLiedAboutBeingDivorcedCaughtHimCheatingYears |

first story abusive my mom allowed my stepdad to saw me and physically assault
me from the age of three and kicked me out at 15 for confronting her after my
stepdad broke my sister's collarbone now that she is homeless I refused to let
her in and took my brother to raise him well but my delusional sister took him
and left our mother for some background my mom and dad divorced when I was two
and she met this 19-year-old kid she was 34 and married him 6 months after she
met him when I was three they both terrorized me and my sister for the next
12 years I was saw at 3 years old by a babysitter and my mom knew and did
nothing about a year later she beat me with a yard stick until it broke for
sleep walking and having an accident on a chair shortly after this my stepdad
would lock me and my sister in the closet with no food water or access to
the bathroom all night so he could smoke weed and cheat on my mom he kept doing
this until I was in kindergarten and told a teacher CPS was called and my mom
took me out of school and I did not go back to school until fourth grade a
little while after I was taken out of kindergarten he stabbed my mom on the
side of her nose Bridge next to her eye she was 5 six months pregnant I had to
see my mom with a knife in her face at 6
years old screaming and crying that they the police took her husband away he was
in for attempted murder but she fought for him until he got out after and even
a little before he went to jail he started stripping me completely naked
and beating me not even letting me cover
my private parts and and even hitting me
there this happened until I was 12 years old and completely developed my mom
would watch or just ignore it I also had to take care of my little brother
changing diapers and feeding him since I was 7 years old and doing all the
household chores since I was four whenever I was enrolled in school not
very often my mom would tell me to fight
any bullies for minor offenses and would take me to McDonald's when I got
suspended my stepdad would make a stand in the corner for up to 8 hours for
something as small as talking after bedtime on a school night my mom still
brags about this punishment when I was nine my mom bit my hand until it almost
drew blood because I scratched my new table while washing the dishes when I
was 10 I was usted and strangled by the same babysitter guy and my mom was there
and didn't even notice when I was 11 my stepdad busted my lip twice and bashed
my head into a car window because they didn't have a certain game on Gamestop
my stepdad was also very racist he said the nword even though he was n black and
gave us lashings like a slave owner and his slaves after he stopped beating me
naked he started secretly watching me get dressed and recording me around this
time he strangled my sister for the first time he lifted me over his head
and threw me I almost went out the window but my mom caught me I was 13 at
the time my mom called me the arser for having trania hair pulling disorder and
ripped out all my weave and had me and my sister put it back in until 6:00 a.m.
then didn't let us go to S sleep my stepdad didn't let us use the bathroom
until like 6:00 p.m. and I had a multiple year long UT I because of it we
also never had beds and were sleeping on the floor on the couch or sharing my
Godfather's twin-sized bed at my Godfather's house my mom spent all her
money on cars and fur coats she told me to become a prostitute at 13 because I
was too old for her to take care of me when I told her my stepdad was watching
me get dressed she said you're lucky he didn't rope you and I let him keep doing
it he strangled my sister until her eyes
hemorrhaged from losing the car keys but finding them 20 minutes later she
strangled me for going to my Godfather's new apartment instead of the library
like I said I would beat me in the head with a paint can when I kicked her off
of me blamed my friend for our bed bugs even though she never came into the
house at that point when it was definitely my stepdad from when he ran
away for a couple of months when we were 15 my stepdad broke my sister's collar
bone after it happened we told our mom either him or us and she told us to pack
our bags and called our Godfather to take us away saying that she hoped that
he left us out to die in the snow we went to a teen homeless shelter group
home and it wasn't that bad but half the staff were verbally abusive and
accusatory we went to foster care after that and my mom sold the house that was
not hers kidnapped our brother and ran away he was supposed to be in foster
care with us and she was a fugitive from the state for 3 years I didn't see her
until I was 17 and I didn't see my brother again until I was 18 after
foster care I went to live with my grandma until I was 18 I was abused by
my grandmother and emed by my dad the whole time it wouldn't have happened if
my mom was normal my mom went to jail for a while and got custody of my
brother after he got out of foster care right before I turned 20 my dad
attempted to rope me and he broke my jaw and my shoulder I moved back in with my
mom where she tried to throw bleach in my face and had me cook food for my
stepdad who lived somewhere else at the time and when I found out I went to a
domestic violence shelter it sucked the staff did not extend my time because
this girl who was effing a staff member told them I wasn't looking for a place
to live I was the only one filling out the Housing search forms and the only
one with a job I had to go to another shelter where I had my sht stolen and I
was as harassed and violated I got my own apartment through the first shelter
and my mom lives in the same town she relapsed on crack and alcohol last year
and got so again in February she was also never home for my little brother
and forced him to drink whiskey and he hasn't been to school or to the doctor
in 3 years she's always out with her sugar daddy and he abuses her in front
of my brother recently she's been saying she's going to get a lot of money and I
was thinking since my grandma just died and the rich Sugar Daddy's dad just died
I think that there might be some inheritance involved but my little
brother told me that it was actually because God apparently told her she was
supposed to win the lottery my mom is also Al a religious conspiracy theorist
like some flat earther Canon sht but she got evicted because she genuinely
believed she was going to win the lottery and didn't need a job my little
brother lives with me as of now and she's stuck in a homeless Hotel run by
Social Services I called CPS and tried to get him put in foster care but they
were not helpful at all we can't take a kid just because their mom is poor they
said they haven't changed since I was a kid but she asked to live with me too
and I said no if I could do it at 15 she
could do it at 54 and that's where we're at thank you for reading edit thanks to
everyone I will reply to people when I wake up it's 8:44 a.m. and I still
haven't gone to sleep I have FML bipolar Mania am I right anyhow good night
update it's apparent that nobody gives a f what happens to my brother besides me
CPS said we can't take him just because his mom is poor when she's literally
smoked crack in front of him and doesn't have him enrolled in school homeschools
him but mostly only reads the Bible and tries to teach him Spanish while not
knowing Spanish herself so I had him living with me in my apartment since
like the beginning of May CPS said the only thing I could do was file for
emergency custody which sounds fake as hell so you're telling me you can't put
the kid in foster care but a random family member can just take him if they
want for apparently no reason okay egg so I went to the courthouse and got the
papers on Wednesday but literally the very next day as I was coming back and
some I saw my sister leaving with him and he had his suitcase and a bag I was
literally so effing confused when my sister said that he was supposed to tell
me that mom was taking him nobody told me anything and like where the hell is
he even going my mom does not have anywhere to live that's what initiated
this whole effing thing anyway she took him back to our home city which is 45
minutes away from where we live now and put their belongings at a family
friend's house apparently while they were there my mom renewed her nursing
license with money she got from one of her tricks and found an apartment there
that she plans on getting when she gets her nursing job back the thing that
bothers me the most though is my sister's attitude towards the whole
thing because I was in the middle of filling out the paperwork for getting
custody of him and she just takes him back to our abuser then she says the
plan the whole time was for Mom to get her stuff together so that our brother
could go back to his mom um no the F it wasn't that was never the plan she was
with me when I got the custody papers she says that as long as he goes to
school in the fall it should be fine no no no this woman has let us get sawed
and beat up since we were 3 years old she does not need to be around kids
during this period and she still spends the majority of time with her sugar
daddy and with her tricks instead of with her own son these people barely
even pay her I know I definitely do not have the means to take care of him but
I'd rather he be poor and safe with me than with her and potentially get sawed
or beaten by whatever sleazy men she has around right now they're sleeping at my
mom's friend's house around the corner from my place so I went to go see her
and my brother and I got pizza for them from the place I work because my mom was
trying to make my brother split the price of a pizza with her she scum to
the core like you're supposed to be the parent and take care of your kid and
you're making him scrape up whatever change he has to feed you she's a piece
of sht my sister came with me and cried because my mom cut up the collar of her
vintage shirt you know when I cried when the bee took my brother and I literally
didn't sleep for 3 days after that I empathize with a vintage shirt I would
have cried too but the fact that she didn't even cry about our brother and
just delivered him to our mom I'm here just to post about trauma and I try not
to talk too heavy on my twin sister because she's been through a lot and
most of it is nobody's business but I feel like I want to document all the sht
she's done to me too this is not the first time she has done something Shady
like this and I almost want to call her an abuser too she scares the absolute
essence HT out of me I hate everyone and everything right now Second Story my
husband's side piece showed up at my house with her baby demanding that I
move out so she can have it she claimed that my husband is going to divorce me
and will inherit half of my properties not realizing he won't get a dime so I
kicked her out of my house and filed for divorce now my M berates me for kicking
out her grandchild my husband and I 40f and 41m have been together for 10 years
and I consider these years to be very loving and happy but apparently not for
him since he had a side piece I make furniture and make around €1 1 million a
year my husband is a teacher it goes without saying that I provide for us I
don't ask what he does with his salary we live way below our mean however
because we are both minimalists but we have a big house nice cars and lots of
art everything is mine however apparently he met his side piece f-25
under false pretenses and told her that we were legally married so he owned half
my company and everything else I own when she got pregnant he started
spending his salary on her I wasn't alarmed because I didn't know what he
did with his money now he is in Dubai on vacation and her lease on her apartment
expired so she just showed up at my door with her baby she told me she was his
girlfriend and that he was getting a divorce so she might as well live in his
house and I could live in a hotel because I could afford it she didn't
have any money or a home she literally refused to step out so I called the
police and locked myself in the greenhouse
when the police came she was literally unpacking the child's clothes in the
living area they escorted her out I was very shaken later I found out all the
details I included above my husband's mother thought I was an idiot for
kicking out a little baby on the street that was her only grandson I used and
abused my money and power to control everything around me but honestly
teachers make $60,000 a year so if as I found out later he gave her his salary I
can't understand why she would be so homeless and destitute she had big
designer bags a designer stroller and this vanle and Arpels jewelry when she
showed up to my home but now I am the ah relevant comments commenter if your
mother-in-law is so concerned about the baby she can take them in op she said
she couldn't because she lives in a studio apartment commenter he can be
homeless with her now NTA op absolutely he wants to take an early plane home to
explain what is there to explain he said she tricked him into getting
pregnant I know that people hate children but how do you trick people
into having children so many questions and absolutely no desire to get any
answers I feel only emptiness commenter you can't be tricked into pregnancy if
you're not sticking your thing where it doesn't belong NTA op exactly how do you
get tricked into pregnancy if you don't cheat commenter if he didn't want
children he should have a vasectomy if you're interested in the explanation
then sure get it but will it change anything you don't really owe him
anything as if your relationship was based on mutual respect and monogamy
then he's broken it op he didn't want to lose his manhood his literal reason
commenter he hates children and is a teacher or does he teach older humans
obviously you're an NTA but as a former teacher who left the classroom because I
started disliking the kids it wasn't fair to them and my patience was about
97% gone I'm curious op yeah he teaches HS children he was always set on being
childfree commenter how long has his mother known she has a grandchild op no
idea wow I never thought about this I assumed she only knew after I called her
but probably she did already commenter I hate that you think you could be an rcy
hole for this op well I really hated the idea of a baby being homeless and I
truly contemplated letting her be in the
guest house but honestly I was terrified of her commenter minimalists that word
does not mean what you think it means you are not minimalists OP haha sorry
maybe it was the wrong word I just meant I don't go on shopping sprees have
multiple Walkin closets or travel once a week commenter I'm confused if you're a
common law spouse you will have marital assets and need a divorce so is the
house your personal property or marital property but you still don't have to let
the into your home and if it's important to Mill she can let them live with her
op we have no marital assets and it was clear from the start when we moved in
together that we have a separate economy
we are not from the states and my assets are well protected commenter okay you
may not be aware that in the US common law is a legal term for a couple who
never signed a marriage certificate but are legally married due to living
together for several years and presenting themselves as married op same
definition here different rules commenter how long has your partner been
in Dubai depending on the length of his stay he may not even legally have
residency in your home anymore if it's legal I'd change the locks now op he's
there for 10 days second comment there is one week left it was an end of school
kind of thing I am going to gather all his things and send them to his mother
what is left are my things he has no right to that and things we bought while
living together 50/50 no matter who paid
all gifts no matter how expensive belong to the receiver like his car PC watches
Etc I don't mind my art Etc is protected by signed agreements that protect our
assets any money or savings are protected by agreements commenter I have
to ask how do you make $1 million making Furniture also NTA kick out the hubby
too op long story short I started as an interior decorator and designer and I
started designing what the market lacked in my opinion now it has gotten bigger
more details and you could find me so update one week later many are asking
for an update but what's really there to
update here is what's happened this past week and what's going to happen I will
never see him again it is over he is back from his trip he probably wasn't
expecting to start his summer vacation this way my lawyer has already contacted
him about what he's owed it will be trans reported to his mother's apartment
whatever more he thinks he is owed he can sue me and I will be ready and I
hope he can afford my lawyers when he loses whatever lawsuit he plans to file
apparently the apartment that his girlfriend lost was his he was sending
her money for the rent but she spent it on Prada instead he swears that the baby
isn't his and that he is going to demand a paternity test like it would make any
difference maybe for the baby yeah I hope to God that the child isn't his
however so maybe there is still a small chance for that baby to have a better
future and more loving parents I am moving in with my parents right now I am
in a hotel but I have no desire to be in
that house again with all the memories I am selling it and while I find a new
home and sell this one I will just live with my family the girlfriend has
contacted me a few times via social media because she needs to talk she
wants proof that we aren't married because he told her that we are married
I don't do delusion so I just blocked her she has tried to contact me her
friends and mine so now everyone knows the truth without me needing to make an
announcement I am not sure what more to update if I have missed anything I will
leave it in the comments one last thing I am sorry for maybe using the wrong
terms I am not an English speaker and Google found common law marriage as the
term used in my situation but apparently it has certain laws in English-speaking
countries our relationship is longterm and we live together we have a separate
economy we have no rights to each other's property or estate we don't even
inherit each other without a will however anything we purchased during the
time we were living together falls under joint estate and is divided equally no
matter who the purchaser is I have no problems dividing these Assets in half I
have bought our house and some of my expensive art during the time we have
been Partners it would have been joint assets if we didn't have cohabitation
agreements in place around these expensive purchases he has no rights to
them unlike prenups Etc they are not as easy to contest because he is not
legally married to me under different circumstances I would probably have
given him more than what he is going to get now because I am like that in
general if he had ended things if he told me he wanted out and that he didn't
love me anymore because I know that relationships end and people fall out of
love he could have respected me enough to give me that at least but he didn't
so I will literally be counting spoons and napkins and he will not get a dime
over what he has owed relevant comments commenter I'm glad GF made your job
easier by telling everyone for a second I couldn't figure out why she wanted you
to prove that you were married which L but then I reread your original post and
realized that it's because she's expecting half of everything has his
mother said anything else to you how was it when St Beck returned op honestly I
have no hard feelings towards his mother I have a mother myself and I have seen
her happiness when my brother became a father my ex- partner is an only child
and he was childless or at least he pretended to be one so she had no hope
of becoming a grandmother imagine finding out that you are if there's any
chance for that baby to get some love and happiness it will be with her she
hasn't contacted me and I don't want her to she will probably tell my ex partner
that I told you so about not popping the question I would never have wanted a
legal binding paper from anyone but when I was younger and still didn't have my
business I would probably have said yes and gladly so because I wanted so much
for him to ask me I would have been singing a different tune right now it is
these thoughts that make it easier for me to cope now it could have been much
worse and sometimes you hate what's happening but a few years later you
realize it was for the better commenter what has your family said about all of
this I hope you have brothers to threaten his ARS when he keeps trying to
get a hold of you op my family is as shocked as I am I think we all need some
time for this to sink in and I will start the grieving process commenter
tell us about his pleading and gring I want to hear about his suffering LOL I'm
second Furious for you op you sound so cool and level-headed and that dummy
blew it big time op he has been pathetic and trickle down like anyone like him
does it was a one-time thing and she tricked him into having a baby the baby
is not his and he can prove it she's just a friend who he helped with housing
but she turned on him my last text from me personally was to grow up and act
like a father now I only talk to him through my lawyer commenter I hope you
get a full physical and STD panel run soon who knows what he has exposed you
to his baby mama is the one you know about there could be others op I did my
first test the day after I found out I will be doing it again in a month to it
was all good third story my ex slept with a random guy after we broke up and
made me believe she was having my baby now after 4 years I realized I have been
raising another 's child so I revoked my
parental rights and she had the audacity
to blame me for ruining the child's life I am a 26-year-old guy who has been
raising a 4-year-old boy and up until recently I believed he was my biological
son his mom and I dated for about a year and shortly after we broke up she told
me she was pregnant I accepted it without question and have been there for
the boy ever since over the past few months I started noticing that he
doesn't really look like me friends and family made casual com comments that
fueled my suspicions so I decided to get a DNA test without telling his mom
because I didn't want to cause any drama if my doubts were unfounded when the
results came back they confirmed my fears I am not his biological father I
confronted his mom about it she broke down and admitted that around the time
we broke up she had a one night stand with another guy she wasn't sure who the
father was but when she found out she was pregnant she figured it was easier
to just let me believe the boy was mine she said it was a mistake and that she's
sorry but she also insisted that I'm still his dad because I've been the one
raising him I was devastated I felt betrayed and used I told her I wanted to
cancel my parental rights and get my name off the birth certificate she
pleaded with me not to do it saying that
it would destroy the boy but I feel like I've been living a lie I talked to a
lawyer and they said it might be possible to relinquish my rights but
it's complicated in the meantime I've been distancing myself from the boy
which has been incredibly hard he's confused and keeps asking why I'm
not spending time with him my friends are divided some think I have every
right to walk away because I was deceived others think I'm being
heartless because biological or not the boy sees me as his father so a for
wanting to cancel my parental rights and get my name off the birth certificate
after finding out the boy isn't my biological son aah has no consensus bot
the op was NTA relevant comments op on how the possibility can be if he's not
the father when he was with the ex op we were together when she got pregnant she
didn't find out until after we broke up I'm not even mad she cheated because
that was years ago and we're not together she knew that might not be my
kid and didn't say anything op on if he was there for the birth op no we broke
up before he was born meet walrus 3813 NTA get that legal process started ASAP
go see a therapist yourself even if only for a couple of months so you know how
to talk to the little dude and can wrap your head around this craziness
recommend that this child and his mother begin counseling yes even at 4 so she
knows how to explain the situation to the kid Etc hard situation but not your
kid not your lies not your problem op thanks I started the process already and
I should be fine because I have a way better lawyer than her lar poris and
readd it if she carried this lifee for this long she is capable of far worse
should is pegging you for child support with your name on the birth certificate
and you being the present father she can do some serious Financial damage to you
and it could take a while and thousands of dollars before you can get out of the
entire situation courts will not recognize privately done tests so get a
court-ordered test done that way you can
be freed of any financial responsibility
except for that which you choose and you
can still interact with the child if you so desire NTA update recovered from RAR
it I wanted to given an update after my last post where I found out the boy I've
been raising isn't my biological son this has been really hard and I
appreciate all the advice and support from everyone I realized my first
reaction was full of anger but deep down I couldn't ignore how much I loved the
boy he may not have my DNA but for the past four years he's been my son in
every way that matters I decided to call his mom and have a real talk I started
by apologizing for how I'd been acting since the DNA test results I told her
that my distance wasn't about the boy but about my own struggle to handle
everything I said I wanted to stay in the boy's life even though he's not my
biological son he's still my son I can't imagine life without him the thought of
him growing up without a dad because of a mistake made years ago was too painful
I promised her I wouldn't walk away she was relieved and grateful it was clear
she had been worried about how my absence was affecting him we agreed to
work together to make sure he felt loved and supported
we talked about co-parenting and making sure he doesn't feel the tension between
us after that call I felt a huge weight lift off my shoulders by deciding to
stay I felt like I was back where I belonged to everyone who commented on my
initial post thank you your advice helped me see things differently you
made me realize that being a father isn't just about biology it's about love
commitment and taking care of the boy every day your words reminded me of the
bond I have with him and helped me see that walking away would hurt both of us
I'm committed to being there for him and
being the best father I can be sometimes life throws unexpected challenges our
way but it's how we respond that matters thank you for helping me see that my
bond with him is what truly matters and for guiding me back to what's most
important being a dad relevant comments squares spare
8723 just wait until your ex meets a guy willing to marry and adopt the kid she
will definitely use DNA in court to try and strip you of your parental rights
you are dad until something better comes along you will be cut out when that day
arrives this will end poorly op I have custody I'm on the birth certificate
Jasper jambur you can still be involved in her child's life while still
protecting yourself legally this is just to protect yourself from being taken
advantage of in the future considering she did literally take advantage of you
over the last few years good luck f smtz n ta you should ask your attorney if
there is any value in her son a statement claiming she believes the
biological father is not you thank you for watching the video if you are

:15.520 --> :18.560 My Cheating Boss Got a Taste of His Own Medicine.
:18.560 --> :23.360 Being a young ambitious woman in the 70s was
never going to be easy, especially in the
:23.360 --> :28.640 north of England, but I never expected that
my first job would turn into such a palaver.
:28.640 --> :33.600
Still, I’ve never been a shrinking violet. I’d
grown up in a working class part of Newcastle
:33.600 --> :39.280
during the 50s and 60s. Tough families living on
a thruppence, hanging their hand-washed laundry in
:39.280 --> :46.560
the street where the kids played unsupervised. All
the mams had names like Agnes, Vera and Maureen,
:46.560 --> :50.400
walked around with a cigarette in their mouths
and chatted with their neighbours about what
:50.400 --> :54.880 the young lass at no. 28 had been doing with
the lad across the street. It was that sort
:54.880 --> :59.520
of life. I suppose you had to do something for
entertainment when you couldn’t afford a TV. :59.520 --> :03.440
They were good people, helping each other
out where they could, despite having little
:03.440 --> :08.800
themselves. However, I didn’t want my life to be
like that. I didn’t want to marry a dock worker
:08.800 --> :15.200
or a milkman, get married, get pregnant and spend
my life washing dirty undies in a tin bath. No,
:15.200 --> :20.080 I wanted my own career, and to have all
the nice things that the posh people had.
:20.080 --> :25.840
So when I left school, I grabbed the paper and
started scouring the job ads. Having aspirations,
:25.840 --> :30.080 I decided that I didn’t want to do factory
or cleaning work, so I looked at one of the
:30.080 --> :35.680
few other options available for a young woman
starting out — secretary work. I responded to a
:35.680 --> :41.520
few ads before I finally got taken on a by a firm
not more than fifteen minutes walk away from home.
:41.520 --> :47.280
When they rang back to tell me that I’d got the
job, I was chuffed! I felt like a proper grown-up. :47.280 --> :52.880
I remember how nervous I was on my first day.
By now, it was the 70s so I could slip into a
:52.880 --> :57.520
pair of high heels and miniskirt without half
the disapproval I would’ve got had I been a
:57.520 --> :03.040
young woman twenty years prior. In my mind, I
expected I’d be walking into one of the newish,
:03.040 --> :09.600
tall concrete monoliths that were in the area. A
big, booming business, I thought. As I walked down
:09.600 --> :16.480
the road though, address in hand, I got to the end
and couldn’t find Wilson Bros. Merchants. I nosied
:16.480 --> :22.640
past the bit of old fence beside me and peered
into grubby tract of land inside. Piles of rusting
:22.640 --> :30.080
metal and then in the middle, a grey portacabin.
My heart sank. There, plastered onto its front: :30.080 --> :33.120
Wilson Bros. Scrap Merchants :33.120 --> :38.880
My dreams of a posh office had just climbed
out the window and bolted for Brazil. Aye,
:38.880 --> :44.240
I’d been wet behind the ears to think I’d been
jumping into a cushy job straight out of school.
:44.240 --> :48.480 Mam always said I had an active imagination.
I knew I couldn’t go back though, :48.480 --> :53.040
so I slowly made my way into no man’s
land, traversing the uneven ground :53.040 --> :58.000
with a lot of trepidation! I’d definitely
misjudged my choice of footwear that day,
:58.000 --> :02.000 and not just because I ran the risk of
breaking an ankle. When I got inside, :02.000 --> :07.040
there was a desk with a typewriter and phone
and behind that, the door to what I presumed
:07.040 --> :13.360
was the boss’ office. I knocked, got called in
by a booming voice and met the man in question. :13.360 --> :17.760
I’ve gotta tell ya, I was taken by him almost straight away.
:17.760 --> :22.480 He was a good looking man, middle-aged,
and dressed to the nines. He reminded me
:22.480 --> :27.840
a bit of Sean Connery. My face must have been a
picture. For a minute, I couldn’t take my eyes
:27.840 --> :34.080
off him. When he invited me to sit, I couldn’t
find my words. Even then, as young as I was,
:34.080 --> :38.800 I knew that he must have picked up on it
because he had a bit of a sly grin on his face.
:38.800 --> :44.560 I was mortified! He introduced himself to me
as Mike, ran me through my jobs and then got
:44.560 --> :49.120 me set up at my desk. Over the following
few days, I quickly realised that this :49.120 --> :54.960
wasn’t exactly a booming business. The
odd few customers and clients each day,
:54.960 --> :00.880
a couple of lads working the scrap and that was
it. Just enough work to keep us all ticking over. :00.880 --> :06.080
After a couple of weeks into the job, I begin to
notice that Mike hangs around the reception more
:06.080 --> :10.880 and more, chatting and joking with me. I
found myself more and more taken with him,
:10.880 --> :16.960
and my heart fluttered every time he smiled at me.
He had this cheeky twinkle in his eye. One day,
:16.960 --> :21.200 he came in and sat on the edge of the
desk. He smelt of Old Spice, which, :21.200 --> :25.200
to a young lass in the 70s, made him as sophisticated as they came.
:25.200 --> :29.200 He asked me if I’d like to go and see
The Great Gatsby with him at the ABC. :29.200 --> :33.600
A romantic film starring Robert Redford? You bet I said yes!
:33.600 --> :39.440 That evening, I went home and got doled up,
making an extra special effort for Mike. I was
:39.440 --> :45.040
already smitten. I wasn’t going to tell mam about
it either, no, I was just going out with a friend,
:45.040 --> :51.120
I said. Jackie, that girl I went to school with.
I was going to have my secret romance and to hell
:51.120 --> :56.160
with what anyone else might’ve thought! I’d just
finished reading The Female Eunuch and had begun
:56.160 --> :02.160
fancying myself as a shining example of a modern
woman, breaking out of the domestic chains.
:02.160 --> :07.360 So off I went in my new orange dress and
kitten heels, catching a bus into town.
:07.360 --> :12.640
When I got to the cinema, I found him waiting
outside, looking debonair in his wool overcoat.
:12.640 --> :17.440
When he saw me, he turned and smiled, rubbing
his hands together to shake off the cold.
:17.440 --> :22.320 When we got our tickets and went in, would
you believe it, he led me to the back row.
:22.320 --> :26.800 As it happened, the first part of the film
was a relaxed and uneventful affair from an
:26.800 --> :31.520 “us” point of view. Well, apart from
dropping a piece of popcorn down my dress. :31.520 --> :36.400
When the first interval came, we both got an
ice cream from the usher and settled back down.
:36.400 --> :41.920
Gently, he notched up the dial by whispering a
few naughty jokes here and there. At one point,
:41.920 --> :46.320 an old woman in front turned and hushed me
because I couldn’t hold back the giggles!
:46.320 --> :51.120 After the film was over, we walked out and
stood looking at one another for a moment.
:51.120 --> :55.680
Then, he took my hand and kissed it, telling me
that he hoped he’d enjoyed the evening as much as
:55.680 --> :01.840
him. I attempted to keep it together but I fear I
probably came away looking like a gibbering mess.
:01.840 --> :08.080
I beat myself up for acting so girlishly on the
bus ride home, thinking I’d made a fool of myself. :08.080 --> :13.040
I put on a brave face as I went into work
the next morning, having no clue as to what
:13.040 --> :17.680 to expect. As it happened, Mike came into
the reception shortly after I’d settled
:17.680 --> :23.360 down and sat on the chair opposite, leaning
on the desk. Smiling, he asked how I was.
:23.360 --> :30.000
Well, my bottle went, didn’t it? I was back to the
awkward stuttering and blank mind. He outstretched
:30.000 --> :35.840 his large hands and placed them over mine—I
thought my heart might go bang—and said gently,
:35.840 --> :40.080 “Howay lass, there’s no need to be
shy. Take a breath and start again.” :40.080 --> :44.960
Well, I did and somehow, I found myself
again. I apologised for how I’d been :44.960 --> :49.040
but he quickly assured me that I’d done
nothing wrong. In fact, he told me that
:49.040 --> :54.400 he’d been delighted by how mature I was for
my age. “A fine young lass” he called me. :54.400 --> :59.120
It was around a week or so after our first date
that he invited me to dinner at a new Italian
:59.120 --> :05.920
restaurant in the city centre. Did I say yes?
You bet! I was a 70s working-class girl who’d
:05.920 --> :10.960
just lived through the three-day week, I wasn’t
about to say no to a bit of luxury. I asked him
:10.960 --> :16.080
to pick me up a few streets away from my house,
to avoid my mam seeing. After we parked up,
:16.080 --> :21.200
we got out and started walking down towards the
restaurant when a moustachioed fella in a mac
:21.200 --> :25.600 called out to Mike. The man’s name was
Geoff and he was a turf accountant, :25.600 --> :30.640
as well as a friend of Mike’s. I was introduced
as his secretary and when he learnt that we were
:30.640 --> :36.080 having dinner together, Geoff looked between
us with a slightly wary gaze. At the time,
:36.080 --> :41.600 I wrote it off as misgivings about the age gap.
Perhaps I should’ve known better. :41.600 --> :48.640
The meal itself was wonderful; lots of laughs,
subtle flirtation and the food? A million times
:48.640 --> :53.840
better than beans on toast. I got to learn more
about him too. Like half of the male population
:53.840 --> :00.000
at the time, he liked football, beer and skimpy
negligees. On women, that is. He was originally
:00.000 --> :06.240
from South Shields, had a sister who scandalised
the family by having a baby at 15 and visited
:06.240 --> :11.280
his father’s grave every other Sunday. I asked
him why he wasn’t married. He coolly answered
:11.280 --> :16.320
that he’d not been in lucky in love; there had
been potential candidates, but they ultimately
:16.320 --> :21.440 let him down in the end. Still, he said, he
remained optimistic that he’d find the one,
:21.440 --> :27.200
before winking at me. A little smile crept onto
my face, regardless of whether I wanted to do it. :27.200 --> :30.880
When we’d finished, he dropped me where
I started, but not before we’d shared :30.880 --> :33.498
our first kiss. It wasn’t just our first kiss
either — it was my first kiss. Warm and wet,
:33.498 --> :34.240
I thought. Nice. I felt myself blushing a bit
when he at looked at me afterwards. Being the
:34.240 --> :39.280
sophisticated young lass I was though, I kept a
stiff upper lip and got out of the car, sending
:39.280 --> :45.520
him off into the night with no more than a simple
goodbye. And so began our… romantic liaison. :45.520 --> :52.480
I lost my virginity in a rundown B&B by the
sea. Mike took the concept of a dirty weekend
:52.480 --> :58.160
altogether too literal by picking that grubby
hovel as our base. It came suitably paired with
:58.160 --> :04.240
a mad old woman who spat when she spoke and talked
to herself when doing her rounds. Mike assured me
:04.240 --> :08.720
that it used to be a great little place, that
it must have changed her hands, and that he was
:08.720 --> :14.320
sorry for this. I tried very, very hard to make
it seem like I was okay with the setup. I think
:14.320 --> :19.680
he persuaded himself that I was. Hell, I think
I convinced myself that I was okay with it. I
:19.680 --> :25.200
consoled myself with the fact that our room had a
nice view of the sea. Not that we saw much of it,
:25.200 --> :27.147
or any of the little town. That night, on nylon
sheets, I made love with him. It was an exciting,
:27.147 --> :27.294
frightening experience. The first man to see me
naked, to touch and explore my body. It felt like
:27.294 --> :27.440
I was tasting forbidden fruit, and I dare say in
the eyes of my Catholic nan, that was the case. :27.440 --> :31.680
It got to a point where I was lost in
the moment, in conniptions and then, :32.320 --> :37.920
then… scratching noises on the door. I
jumped out of my skin until I heard meowing,
:37.920 --> :42.400 and then I knew it was the mad old woman’s
cat. My mood for the moment was starting to
:42.400 --> :48.560
wane. Then I heard footsteps and mumbling, louder
and louder until it was right outside the door. :48.560 --> :53.840
“Oh, you’ve had a tinkle on the carpet. Tut
tut.” The cat’s owner continued talking to
:53.840 --> :58.000 herself outside the door. Then she went
off and came back up a few minutes later,
:58.000 --> :03.680 rattling as she came. Then we heard her
scrubbing the carpet. Loudly. Right outside. :03.680 --> :06.080
Cat pee really kills the mood. :06.080 --> :11.040
After our interesting experience there, the
romantic arena was largely centred back in
:11.040 --> :15.600 Newcastle. In fact, I could pin most of it
down to that little portacabin. There were
:15.600 --> :20.480 two things that did yet immediately occur to
me at the time, a) That our relationship’s
:20.480 --> :26.560
romance has quickly but subtly disappeared and
b) We seemed to be going nowhere. It was just
:27.600 --> :32.160
sex. Great sex, I’ll grant you, but I started
longing for something a bit more substantial.
:32.160 --> :36.720
I always tried to pick the right time to bring
it up, usually after a dangerous but exciting
:36.720 --> :40.320
round of rumpy pumpy on my, or sometimes his,
desk. We nearly got caught by one of his workers
:40.320 --> :42.480
once. He was a trouser button away from getting us
both caught out. Somehow, we’d managed to keep it
:42.480 --> :47.680
discreet. I even had managed to keep my parents
out the loop. Thank god too. My mother would’ve
:47.680 --> :53.520
gone into conniptions if she’d had any clue. My
father, maybe not so much. He was more interested
:53.520 --> :59.280
in his pigeons, the horses and brown ale. It’s
fair to say he wasn’t a very hands-on father. :59.280 --> :03.040
Every time I’d confronted Mike,
he’d palmed me off with platitudes. :03.040 --> :07.440
I got a bit fed up in the end and told him
straight, “I want more romance from you”. :07.440 --> :13.440
He promised me a proper holiday. No half measures
this time, he said. We would fly to Spain. A
:13.440 --> :19.280
foreign holiday? On a plane? This was a dream for
me. I squealed slightly and threw my arms around
:19.280 --> :21.920 him, lost to the excitement. He laughed and
then planted a firm kiss on my cheek, telling
:21.920 --> :27.520
me that he had to go but that he’d be back soon.
As it happened, he never did come back that day.
:27.520 --> :32.800 By early evening, I began to worry. One of
the workers, Terry, a sweet and chubby lad,
:32.800 --> :36.880 told me not to worry and to get off. He said
that this wasn’t the first time he’d done it,
:36.880 --> :41.520 and that he always turned up the next day.
He promised that he’d lock up and offered
:41.520 --> :47.920
me a lift home. I gracefully accepted, feeling
somewhat placated but still just a touch anxious. :47.920 --> :51.040
True to his word though, Mike turned up the following morning.
:51.040 --> :55.360 I asked him where he’d got to and he
apologised. Said a friend had called him over.
:55.360 --> :59.200 The friend was going through
a bad divorce. Was depressed. :59.200 --> :04.480
Couldn’t leave him. Like a little fool,
I swallowed it hook, line and sinker. :04.480 --> :10.160
It wasn’t until I went to a record shop to buy
the latest David Essex record that I got smacked
:10.160 --> :12.400 by the truth. Whilst I was there,
:12.400 --> :16.480 I ran into Geoff. He asked how I was
and I told him on top of the world. :17.440 --> :18.000 “And Mike?”
:18.640 --> :21.840
“Oh, he’s fine too. We’re both fine.” I smiled,
:21.840 --> :26.320 feeling giddy that I could refer to us as a
couple, even if it was only to his friend. :26.320 --> :27.680
He gave me a knowing look. :28.720 --> :31.040
“Ah, so you two really are…?” :31.040 --> :33.360
I looked at him, slightly perplexed. :33.360 --> :36.800
“Mike hasn’t told you? Surely, I mean, you’re his mate, right?
:36.800 --> :42.080 Looking back, I cringe at that moment.
How could I have been so eminently naïve? :42.080 --> :45.040
Geoff’s demeanour changed, becoming a bit flustered.
:45.040 --> :47.280 “Thelma’s a good lass,” he whispered,
:47.280 --> :52.240
“She doesn’t deserve this. Did you know they’re
getting married? That she wants a bairn with him?” :52.240 --> :54.640
Understandably, I was stumped. :54.640 --> :57.440
“Thelma? You’re not telling me that Mike is with someone else?”
:58.240 --> :02.480 “Don’t soft soap me, lass. I weren’t
born yesterday. And to make it clear, :02.480 --> :04.240
you’re the someone else.” :04.240 --> :09.600
With that, he stormed off. I just stood there,
not knowing what to think or feel. I put down
:09.600 --> :14.560 the record in my hand and walked out. There
was a little green space nearby with a bench,
:14.560 --> :20.080 so I ambled over to it and took a seat. I’m
the someone else? No, that can’t be right. Me
:20.080 --> :25.120
and Mike are a couple. We’ve been away together,
had dinner together. Spent time with each other.
:25.120 --> :32.080
We’re going on a big holiday. He’s told me that
he… no, that’s it. He’s not once said he loves me.
:32.080 --> :38.400
We’ve never talked about the future. That’s when
it hit home —I was just his bit of skirt. God,
:38.400 --> :43.280 I felt so sick. He’d been stringing me
along, using me for his own pleasure. :43.280 --> :49.120
The deceit and disrespect wound me up no
end; I wanted to wear his balls as earrings. :49.120 --> :54.080
My first instinct was to barge into his office,
first thing tomorrow, and give him a piece of
:54.080 --> :59.040 my mind. By the time I got home though, the
initial fury was coming down to a simmer.
:59.040 --> :04.000 I decided that was too simple, so I thought
about more creative ways to get back at him.
:04.000 --> :08.880 Trash his office? Set fire to it?
Put an ad in the lonely hearts? :08.880 --> :12.640
“One cheating rat looking for quickies on an office desk.
:12.640 --> :17.280 Must bring extra small condoms.
Mike Wilson of Wilson Bros.” :17.280 --> :22.400
It was tempting, but wondered if it would even
get published. Probably not. My choice of plan
:22.400 --> :27.760 took a few days to hit; I was chatting with
mam about films when she brought up Love Story. :27.760 --> :30.880
“That poor lass.” she said, “And the lad too!
:30.880 --> :36.160 They’d only been married five minutes. Had
me in tears by the end. Dear, oh dear…” :36.160 --> :41.680
My mind snapped back to the moment in the
record shop. He was getting married, Geoff said.
:41.680 --> :47.440
Over my dead body, I thought. My first problem
was knowing when and where. It was bad enough
:47.440 --> :52.960
that I had no timeframe, but there were dozens of
churches in Newcastle. How was I supposed to pick
:52.960 --> :58.240 out the right one? I’d have to poke around.
My first port of call was the ever reliable
:58.240 --> :02.960 Terry. I caught him on lunch break, trying
hard to make it seem like a chance encounter,
:02.960 --> :08.080 and tiptoed around the subject. Yes, he was
aware that Thelma and Mike were getting married.
:08.080 --> :12.720 No, he didn’t know when. He just knew
it was soon. Within the next few weeks. :12.720 --> :18.640
It wasn’t much but it was a start. What next?
It’s not like I could follow him. When I got back
:18.640 --> :23.680 inside the portacabin, I glanced at the door
to his office and then almost straight away,
:23.680 --> :28.000 I had an idea. I sat down at my
desk and waited, pretending to work, :28.000 --> :33.440
until he passed me and went out for a loo break.
I dashed into his office and over to his desk,
:33.440 --> :38.400
looking for anything that could tell me what I
needed to know. Lots of papers scattered across
:38.400 --> :44.560
his desk, all work-related. I shuffled through the
drawers, finding a bunch of keys, mints, a bottle
:44.560 --> :51.120
of whisky and then, at last, something that might
help me — his year planner. I flicked through the
:51.120 --> :57.040
pages almost quicker than I could skim them, but
it didn’t take long before I found a telling page;
:57.040 --> :04.160
June 29th, a date I’ll never forget. Scrawled
into the box was “Day off” with a drawing of
:04.160 --> :10.160
two rings underneath. Just over a month away. I
started wondering how long they’d been together.
:10.160 --> :14.720 Surely longer than we’d been. If you
can even call what we had “together”. :14.720 --> :20.240
As my mind started wandering though, I heard
footsteps outside. I quickly closed the planner
:20.240 --> :24.720 and shoved it back in its drawer, shutting
it and taking a seat on the edge of his desk,
:24.720 --> :28.640 letting my skirt ride up just a
touch. When he came in and saw me, :28.640 --> :33.360
he initially looked surprised but quickly,
his face morphed into one of lasciviousness.
:33.920 --> :39.120
Rat. He came over to me and tried to kiss me,
so I pretended to play coy by putting my finger
:39.120 --> :44.080
over his mouth and telling him that he’d have
to wait. He grinned. In that moment, I realised
:44.080 --> :49.840
that I had my work cut out for me because I’d
have to keep him at arm’s length for five weeks. :50.640 --> :57.440
I managed it, painfully, with moderate success. I
had to appease him a little once every so often,
:57.440 --> :03.360
just to keep him from suspecting anything, but I
managed to avoid sex. In the meantime, I gave his
:03.360 --> :08.560
office one more search. I eventually ended up
going back to the planner, where, at the back,
:08.560 --> :13.840
I found a section for phone numbers. There was
no church name listed but I did find the number
:13.840 --> :19.840 for another Wilson. An Edith Wilson. When I
got a quiet moment, I gave the number a ring.
:19.840 --> :25.600 An old-sounding woman answered. I introduced
myself as his secretary and she eagerly cut in,
:25.600 --> :30.640 exclaiming that she was Mike’s mother. She
was evidently proud of him. He’d done so well,
:30.640 --> :36.080 you know? Built himself up from nothing. I
felt sick again. I beared it though, tactfully
:36.080 --> :42.000
broaching the subject of his little boy’s wedding.
Thelma was a fine young woman. A classy lady.
:42.000 --> :46.640 Her father was a well-regarded local artist,
apparently. I said I was ringing because I
:46.640 --> :51.760
wanted to check the wedding venue. I had been put
in charge of making sure the business kept ticking
:51.760 --> :57.280 over in his absence. I didn’t want to bother
a busy man like Mr. Wilson with trivialities. :57.280 --> :03.600
Mrs. Wilson was very understanding. Of course
you don’t want to bother him. Of course you’ll
:03.600 --> :07.760 need to know where he’ll be, you’ll want
to ring him if anything urgent comes up.
:07.760 --> :13.760
I thanked her aloud for helping me, and silently
for putting the final nails in her son’s coffin. :13.760 --> :20.240
The end of June 1974 was sweltering. You couldn’t
sit for a minute without your knickers sticking
:20.240 --> :25.280 to your arse. I was never one for the
summer. Grey skies and rain for me. :25.280 --> :31.120
On the remorseful day, my first task was to decide
how to present myself. Part of me wanted to rock
:31.120 --> :36.960
up in full makeup, heels and naughtiest dress I
could find, just to show him what he’d be missing.
:36.960 --> :42.720
But then I changed my mind. This day was going to
be bad enough for Thelma without me ‘competing’
:42.720 --> :48.400 with her. Besides, the rat didn’t deserve my
best efforts. I decided to wear the formless
:48.400 --> :53.920
grey dress that I wore when going to my nan’s, the
prudish Catholic one I mentioned, with a pair of
:53.920 --> :00.000
flats and no makeup. I grabbed my black clutch
bag and off I went. Whilst I was on the bus,
:00.000 --> :05.360
I wondered if maybe I was in the wrong. Maybe he’d
be faithful once they were married, maybe they’d
:05.360 --> :11.920
have kids and a Ford Cortina, and live happily
ever after. Was I taking it all away? But then
:11.920 --> :19.120
I thought of Margaret and Barry two doors down.
She cheated on him. And then again and again. No,
:19.120 --> :24.640
why should he be any different? That poor lass
is planning a life with him, seeing far into
:24.640 --> :30.400
the future, whilst he can’t see any further than
his trousers. She deserves better, and so do I. :30.400 --> :36.080
When I got close, I peered round the church’s road
and saw the final few guests entering the church.
:36.080 --> :40.080 She would be here soon. I was
beginning to feel anxious. :40.080 --> :46.400
About five minutes, a creamy-white Rolls Royce
cruised towards the church, complete with ribbons.
:46.400 --> :53.840 She stepped out and my jaw dropped — she was
beautiful. Older than me, late 20s or early 30s,
:53.840 --> :58.880 and immaculate. I felt daft for ever
thinking I could compete with her. :58.880 --> :03.600
When she went in and the doors had closed, I
slinked up to them and listened. I knew that there
:03.600 --> :09.360
was a moment when guests could raise objections,
so I waited. Although it felt like forever,
:09.360 --> :15.760
I heard the vicar say it. “Speak now or forever
hold your peace.” I pushed the church door open
:15.760 --> :21.120
without a second to spare, through the entrance
and into the church itself. Hundreds of eyes
:21.120 --> :27.840
turned to face me, but I met only one pair, and
his quickly filled with dread at the sight of me. :27.840 --> :33.600
I said “I have an objection, vicar. The
bridegroom’s been having a relationship with me.” :33.600 --> :38.480
The church was deathly silent. The
vicar didn’t know where to put his face,
:38.480 --> :44.880
the guests were gobsmacked and as for Thelma,
all she could do was look between him and me.
:44.880 --> :49.920
“It’s not true” he tried to communicate softly.
The echo in the church wasn’t about to let his
:49.920 --> :55.840
lie creep away quite so easily though. Not that it
mattered, it’s clear that he was lying. I knew it,
:55.840 --> :00.480 she knew it, we all knew it. He’d been
caught with his pants down, so to speak,
:00.480 --> :06.320 and there was no way out. I saw her face
contort into anger and expected her to slap him,
:06.320 --> :12.400
but she exceeded my expectations by lunging at
him, thumping him on the chest. She really went
:12.400 --> :18.000
for him. What happened after that, I don’t know.
I left them to it and never heard about either
:18.000 --> :23.280 of them again. Truth be told, I found the
whole thing a very sorry affair in the end. :23.280 --> :26.960
As soon as I could, I left Newcastle and never looked back.
:26.960 --> :31.280 I found work and a new life in London,
and ended up training to be a teacher. :31.280 --> :36.160
I’ve had a few boyfriends since Mike, some
good and a couple not, did a bit of travelling
:36.160 --> :41.600 with a new pal I made and made sure I never
wasted another minute more than necessary. :41.600 --> :48.560
Contrary to my younger self’s expectations, I
never did quite rid myself of domestic chains;
:48.560 --> :52.560 I married an accountant (someone
has to) and had a daughter with him. :52.560 --> :57.040
When she was four, we settled into a lovely
house in Richmond, where we still live.
:57.040 --> :02.240
Lots of happy memories have filled this home over
the years — I wouldn’t leave now if you paid me!
:02.240 --> :08.800
She’s now all grown up and engaged herself, giving
me pause for thought. The cycle of life continues,
:08.800 --> :14.240 new adult lives are getting off the ground .
It’s quite a humbling realisation. Still, I’ve
:14.240 --> :19.440
no intention of fading into the background. You
can take the girl out of Newcastle ‘n’ all that… :19.440 --> :24.080
I still sometimes wonder whatever happened to
Mike. How many more women did he use before he
:24.080 --> :29.680
got old and shrivelled? Did he ever even get old?
Part of me wishes that I hadn’t done what I did,
:29.680 --> :36.480
even if only for Thelma, but then I remember that,
in the end, she was probably better off for it. :36.480 --> :39.040
Then the regret just vanishes! | give me a good story on rNuclearRevengeIRUINEDMYBOYFRIENDSWEDDINGRedditStoriesen |

AIT ta for saying just don't come to my stepmom when she and my dad told me she
didn't want to attend my high school graduation with my mom BG my parents
divorced when I 18m was three because my
dad was having an affair with my stepmom my mom and stepmom were work Rivals and
had a strong dislike for each other even before the affair there has always been
speculation that this is why my stepmom willingly became the other woman because
she disliked my mom I was aware of this and not because of my parents but
because of drama that would kick off with my dad's side of the family and I
was present for some of my dad's relative speculations about that my
parents did not get along after the affair and tensions were high whenever
my mom and stepmom were in the same room my stepmom had three pregnancies that
ended in miscar the first two were I guess typical sln normal miscarriages
but the third one caused my stepmom a lot of medical issues and that led to
her being infertile so she and my dad never got to have a living child
together after the third miscarriage my stepmom wanted me around because she
wanted to feel like a parent and she wanted to know she would still have me
she and my dad asked my mom if they could extend their time with me and my mom | give me a good story on AITAforsayingjustdontcometomystepmomwhensheandmydadtoldmeshedidntwantto |

today we have a crazy story of Revenge of Smashing an entire gaming setup we'll
get into that in a bit but first my neighborhood gangsters shouldn't have
messed with my family I'd always sought solace in the quiet life Marlo my
hometown provided the respit I craved after a turbulent career as a detective
in the bustling City while Marlo's Serenity was a welcome change it
couldn't erase the memories of a past I desperately yearned to forget but it was
home regardless it detailed the life I desperately tried to erase but having
decided to leave the force for reasons I chose not to share coming back to Marlo
seemed like the only reasonable option at the time I saw my day settled into a
semi- quiet routine I decided before I left the force that I was going to
operate a modest private investigation agency in Maro I believe that it would
seldom see action just mundane tasks and leisurely strolls through the park yeah
I needed that yet even in Maro where life drifted along in the semblance of
normaly Fate had a knack for unpredict ictable turns that Tuesday began like
any other but by evening the call came shattering The Fragile peide built it
was my estranged brother Daniel who'd Fallen victim to a vicious assault by
the Infamous Gang the web spikes the call jolted my heart into a frenetic
Rhythm as if the weight of my past sins had returned to haunt me Daniel embodied
the concept of Innocence he'd always taken a different path from me steering
clear of the turbulent Waters I'd swam in as a detective he could never come to
terms with why I would choose to go into the force knowing that our old man died
in the line of duty it was one of the reasons why we were a bit arranged yet
he had somehow gotten on the radar of the web spikes he was assaulted brutally
at that and he could name them because they were familiar faces in the
neighborhood usually I suspected he might not have told me the situation of
things if I'd still been in the city but
since I was back in Marlo he reached out to me from what he told me I gathered
that the police investigation into Daniel's assault swiftly unveiled the
web Spike's pervasive influence within the city leaving Justice hanging by a
fragile thread I was familiar with the name I knew the brand they portrayed and
I could make out that they would not expect to pay for the crimes they had
committed and suddenly the anger I felt when I held my partner's warm blood came
up again I could feel the bolt of vacation hanging by my throat like I did
with the gang that brought down my dead partner I needed to make them pay
reconnecting with off Sullivan was like opening an old dogeared novel and
revisiting familiar yet somewhat weathered pages mark had been my second
partner back when I wore the badge the third of the trio for that ghastly
operation but after that fateful operation that claimed the life of our
colleague Mark and I went our separate ways each of us carrying our own burdens
our own ghosts Mark had always been the pragmatic one the voice of reason he
could read people like a well-worn book a skill that often felt uncanny he had a
knack for spotting trouble a mile away but on that tragic day even he couldn't
foresee the nightmare that awaited us resentment still lingered in the
unspoken words and stolen glances the questions that had remained unanswered
the blame that had been cast and never fully accepted I knew for certain that
he was the only one who could help me get the justice that they deserved the
pain and hurt we felt for my last case was still present it was on that premise
that I informed him about the assault and Daniel if I'm being honest it was
more than a fight for Daniel for both of us it was like we were having a doover
to set things right from the way it went
down the last time of course the details were different but the players were cut
from the same clothes they were Terror gangs that grew too large and too much
for the neighborhood to control becoming a hacker was a transformation I hadn't
anticipated but necessity breeds adaptability with Mark as my guide I
delved into the digital realm acquiring skills and knowledge that would be my
passport into into the Hidden World of web spikes my online Persona was born a
skilled hacker for hire with a reputation for getting things done half
the things that said I done on the profile I didn't know of them the other
half was a borrowed profile from some guy that officer solivan knows I knew
that one misstep one traceable line of code could spell disaster I navigated
the murky Waters of the dark web using pseudonyms and encryption tools to mask
my true identity the deeper I went the more apparent it became that the web
spikes were no ordinary gang there was something about the way that they
operated that seemed like they had greater reach than the land of Marlo as
I began to communicate with web spikes members I quickly realized that the
complexities of their world mirrored the complexities of the individuals within
it each member had their own reasons for being part of this criminal Empire and
many had stories that could elicit both sympathy and revulsion it was difficult
to separate at the villain from the victim and this blurred line weighed
heavily on my conscience over time I formed a rapport with some of this web
spikes underlings earning their trust with a carefully crafted facade these
relationships were the building blocks of my infiltration and they were not
without their challenges trust was a delicate thing in the criminal
underworld and the wrong word or action could shatter the thin veneer of trust
I'd cultivated but I had my reason for deciding to go undercover and I was not
ready to back down without getting what I came for there was Ricochet the
unflinching right hand who was fiercely loyal to his leader as the gang's Brute
Force Sparrow the strategist who possessed a sharp mysterious mind with
her motivations remaining cloaked in intrigue then there was Viper he was the
digital genius who found power and Dominion in the virtual world overseeing
the web spikes digital Empire with a Relentless Pursuit Of Control he was the
one I had to be on the lookout for or should should I say he's the one that my
online Persona had to be wary of in the pursuit of exposing all of them and
making them pay for assaulting Daniel and every other person who could not
stand up to them I delve deeper into their nefarious operations each
Discovery unraveling the Sinister layers of their criminal Empire and its
chilling reach into the very heart of Maro but what I would say was the crazy
part of my investigation was getting to realize that the web of corruption
reached far beyond on the web spikes criminal activities it was a system that
corroded the city's foundations seeping into the dark corners of politics law
enforcement and the economy at the side of the evidence that lay in front of me
on the law enforcement agency I could then understand why their activities had
gone unchecked for so long and why my younger brother could not get the
Justice he wanted from them these officials were not merely corrupted they
were puppets in the gang's nefarious schemes protecting the web Spike's
interests while betraying The public's trust when I saw the rotten part of the
law enforcement agency that was supposed to be for us the masses I knew that it
would not be far-fetched to think that there was a political Intrigue to it and
I was right web spikes had their fingers in the city's political landscape
manipulating decisions fostering corruption and ensuring that the system
remained tilted in their favor it simply
came from being the dirty hands of those that we thought we elected to be a key
instrument in the progression of the town the very institutions meant to
safeguard Justice were tainted and the line between law and lawlessness blurred
with this I could be certain that those in power were the reason why the media
never really had a grasp of featuring a story or covering some of the activities
of these guys I mean even on days when it seems like they're about to hit a
nail on the head with their name they just divert into unknown guys as my
actions intensified the tensions within the web spikes reached a fever pitch
they felt the the new tightening and the pressure I exerted on their empire
became palpable they knew someone was on to them but they did not know who and
that gave me a good base to continue my plan I was sure that it wasn't like the
gang members were United by a common cause it was really all about a shared
pursuit of power and survival my infiltration had exposed the cracks in
their Foundation setting off a chain reaction of power struggles and subplots
the loyal enforcer who had once been the unchallenged muscle of the gang for one
became challenged but my Relentless Pursuit had put him on edge his loyalty
to their said leader was unshakable but that didn't prevent ambitious underlings
from scheming to usurp his position his was the most noticeable among the group
The Rising tensions were a volatile cocktail of ambition fear and mistrust
for Mark The Showdown was personal it was a chance to avenge his brother
Daniel then lay to rest the ghosts of our shared past the personal Vendetta
burned in his eyes lending an intensity to his pursuit of the gang within the
gang the web spikes were riddled with internal conflicts Ricochet struggled to
maintain his grip on power while Sparrow and Viper grappled with their own
Ambitions the tensions reached a boiling
point and betrayals simmered beneath the surface the climax of my Relentless
Pursuit was a night etched in the memory of Marlo The Showdown had been building
like a pressure cooker the heat of Vengeance and the cold steel of Justice
pushing us all to the brink I'd followed a complex trail of Deceit and treachery
fueled by my unwavering determination to expose the black serpent their leader
the pieces of the puzzle finally clicked into place revealing the Serpent's
actual Abode it was a dilapidated Warehouse hidden in plain sight my heart
raced as I approached every step echoing in the darkened alley the confrontation
was a whirlwind of tension and Desperation Mark and I armed with the
weight of our past and the deter DET mination to see Justice served
confronted the black serpent his real name William connley was a revelation
The Man Behind The Serpent's mask was a shadowy figure with Dee rooted
connections to the city's corrupt power structure at this point it was not just
about Daniel's assault it was about a city choking under the grip of organized
crime and corrupt officials before we went into the building we had tapped a
camera on a button on officer Sullivan's
chest the good part was that we were not
really expecting to come out unscratched so the video was reported live to
Instagram when we got in he was alone I would guess that that was his Mo to not
draw attention to himself but in the end
that was his undoing I attacked him with what he did to my brother without
mentioning a name knowing that we were on a live feed and then proceeded to
mention all of the other things I'd found out at first he tried to play dumb
but he was quick to realize that I was well informed the one thing he was
stupid to think was that we were both nobodies and could do nothing because of
this silly thought he went on ahead to recount his involvement stating that
there was actually nothing we could do because of those that they had as the
plan we had we left feeling dejected like that was all but it wasn't the feed
from Instagram got the government more interested and they picked them up
starting with their leader it would have been fun to watch but it was important
that I disappear from the scene I couldn't take chances of them coming
after me they could find me or find someone connected to me or something so
I left but not without my revenge taking a toll on them I don't know if this
leader guy is going to be able to put two and two together or if they would
have their own kind of cameras to monitor things going on in that
warehouse but I would feel like if you're able to get into this organized
crime they would have like a background on you in some degree like they would
know who you are because you're getting in like I'm surprised you'd be able to
get into this thing without them knowing every detail about your life so that
they can ensure that they have something to go back on if you cross them that
said our next story is I broke my high school bully I can hardly compare the
exhilaration I got from seeing Olivia getting treated the same way she treated
me to anything else I'm a firm believer in karma and she got what she deserved
you know that one girl from high school with funny teeth a weird haircut and
nerd glasses all matched with ridiculous outfits that were way too young for her
or had been out of fashion since the '90s that was me I had virtually no
friends except for my parents was at the
top of the grade and was every teacher's Delight for most of my life I was
invisible to most of my peers that was until Olivia transferred to school the
thing about being invisible is that you think you want to be noticed you would
sigh and wish that one day you'd walk past your classmate in the grocery store
and they'd recognize you at least that was what I wanted and with good reason
too it was kind of lonely having only your parents parents as companions I
never got invited to any special parties and when I did it was only because the
person's parents had forced them to invite the whole grade I'd learned early
enough not to bother even going to those because I'd end up feeling like a ghost
but I would have given anything to go back to my lack of social media presence
because when I finally started being noticed it was for all the wrong reasons
yes I was pretty weird for a high schooler but Olivia and her minions were
the first people to point it out Olivia had only attended in my school for a
couple of months but she was somehow able to get the whole grade under her
command she was one of that kids by all standards first her parents were
divorced and she got to stay with her mom who was a cool parent and let her do
whatever she pleased so she wore anything she fancied dyed all of her
hair purple and got an extra piercing they weren't so popular then her parents
had signed a prenuptual agreement which left her mom with a ridiculous amount of
money and in extremely Grand Mansion with a private pool everyone wanted to
be invited to and she had the latest everything phones watches designer bags
maybe not everyone wanted to be her friend but being close to her clearly
had a lot of perks so people started to suck up to her captain of whom were
Pearl Jaden and rexa these three girls were plastic enough to graduate from
acquaintances to being her minions they were always seated at the same table at
lunch where they mostly gossip they hung out after school when they'd
gossip some more and they revered every single word that proceeded from Olivia's
mouth like it was from the sacred book if she decided that she didn't like Mr
Simon's class then they hated it too if crop tops were her new thing then they
were overly obsessed with crop tops nothing about them felt real they
stopped looking at each other for approval like they had before Olivia's
arrival and started to struggle for her approval I was in line for lunch one sad
afternoon when she dramatically cut out from behind me when I'd gotten to the
front of the queue I turned back to stare in confusion as her minions copied
her actions not even the slightest look of understanding in her eyes uh she said
feigning distress something or someone smells terrible she put her well
manicured fingers to her nose as if trying to block out an offensive smell I
sniff the air around me a bit to check if I would get a whiff of the stuff
offending her nothing the air smelled like Teenage sweat in our lunch maybe it
was the smell of the weird beef used in cooking our burgers that she didn't like
it wasn't any of my business so I faced my lunch just as I turned back to put an
apple on my tray she directed her drama at me I bet it's that hideous old
sweater that smells like a stale fart CH fake whispered I glanced down at the
green sweater I was wearing she's worn that for years now I heard she never
washes it one of her minions continued it couldn't be me my sweater was fresh
and clean my dad ad knitted It For Me 2 years ago and I loved it so much that I
wore it whenever I needed some comfort which was a lot but it didn't smell bad
it smelled like detergent and my deodorant I slowly looked behind me and
saw the whole cafeteria Q staring at me Olivia and her friends had gesticulated
enough to let the world know that they were speaking about me the back of my
left arm started to itch and feel warm that always happened when I felt
embarrassed I don't think she washes her teeth often either another Minion that
needed to contribute added I hear that your teeth start to look like hers if
you neglect cleaning them for a long time I quietly picked up my tray and
began to walk away from the line tears clouded my vision as I tried to look
around for a place to sit I didn't even want to be there I continued to walk
till I found myself in a quiet section in the corner of the sports field eating
anywhere but the cafeteria was prohibited but I needed the privacy of
that space to cry so I did I set my tra Ray down slid to the grass and balled my
eyes out I was so embarrassed after a well- needed crying session I dried my
eyes and stared out at the food before me I didn't have any appetite so I
dumped the contents of the tray into a bin close to me and hid the tray in some
workout apparatus I mustered up some courage and walked into my next class
hoping to slide unnoticed into my seat as soon as I walked through the door the
class erupted with laughter I cringed and looked at my shoes is anything the
matter dear the concerned teacher asked me but I just swallowed the tears
threatening to fall she must be stupid too a voice unmistakably belonging to
Olivia called out and the class howled with delight that did it for me I ran
straight into the bathroom and sped home immediately when the bell was rung
before anyone could see me luckily no one was at home so I didn't have to
explain my red eyes or the tears streaming down my face immediately I
headed for my bed and slept in till the the next morning it sucked to be
embarrassed like that for no apparent reason I felt terrible but things were
about to get worse Olivia must have decided that I was really easy to pick
on so all of a sudden I went from being invisible to being the butt of
everyone's joke all of my quirks became obvious to everyone like I'd been trying
to hide them originally I couldn't tell my parents anything because I didn't
want them to talk to the school authorities or do anything that would
make people bully me more the funny thing was that I didn't realize that
there was anything particularly wrong with me or the way I did things till
everyone started to point them out somebody tell me why her bag looks like
a rainbow vomited all over it some wannabe queen bee with a bored voice
would say on a random sports day I'd hear comments like I wonder what she's
doing all this running for no sane guy would look at her either way and when I
actually got my period no one bothered to tell me I found myself trending on
Facebook with the hashtag granny got her period that was the final
blow I was so humiliated that I refused to go to school for a week that was when
I finally let my parents know what I was going through at school my mom was
outraged and wanted to make a scene but my dad was more reasonable wanting an
easy and quiet solution they came to the
conclusion that I'd spend the rest of my
high school years in a new school abroad with my brother who had just graduated
from college I was totally happy with the idea I couldn't pretend like I was f
with my old school anymore I hated every single one of those kids especially
Olivia and her minions I loved my older brother Steve and moving all the way to
the United Kingdom would be an opportunity for me to reinvent myself
the transition was easy I had to complete some counseling sessions before
I could resume school so I used my free time to improve my wardrobe got a new
haircut and insist on getting braces I made it clear that I wasn't anyone to be
bossed around immediately if if I could my brother Steve was a hot shot so he
had a lot of friends who cared for me and being his sibling upped my
popularity status at school life became enjoyable and happier for me fast
forward a couple of years later I had a stable job and a bearable life but my
brother and I still shared his apartment I was going to move out after ID
graduated from college Steve loved getting my opinion on his friends so
he'd been wanting to show his new girlfriend to me and ask for my opinion
and advice that he never followed I was 80% right most of the time I didn't have
any real interest in his relationship but since we were both bored I started
to ask questions about what she did where she studied and what she looked
like she apparently finished from a reputable place and she was currently an
actress quite impressive I finally asked for a picture of her and instead of my
usual a she's so pretty Mantra I found myself gawking at the picture with a mix
of anger and surprise of course she'd grad graduated she was the reason I was
a year behind she's so pretty she's left you speechless huh my brother teased
when I hadn't said anything for a minute
I looked at him and he turned serious my face was obviously contorted with pain
and anger seeing her made me want to run mad and pounce on her for all the evil
she did to me I wasn't going to let my brother stay with her for my good and
for his he didn't deserve to be with someone that evil and I was going to
play the baby sister card till he dumped her I had to act out a bit of drama
don't get me wrong I did feel bad but I was going to exaggerate and animate my
feelings I started to let tears fall from my eyes then I ran into my room and
refused to speak to him till dinner time he looked so confused and disappointed
that my heart went out to him as I started to recount all of the events way
worse than they actually occurred I chipped in some imaginary details here
and there and when I'd fully described her as the Devil Himself I pretended to
wipe some tears tears from my eyes and said but if you'd like to have her
around I can cope with that he raised an eyebrow at me and I sniffled it would
definitely be traumatizing to see her again in person but I'll manage his jaw
tended and he assured me that he was never going to speak to her in his life
he iced her out after that he didn't respond to her calls or reply to her
texts and I just couldn't help sneaking to his phone and texting the words it's
over to her thankfully all her texts were desperate and Confused just like
all the others had been the next day I saw her from the kitchen window walking
towards our apartment when Steve had left for some party with his friends it
was the perfect opportunity I quickly slipped on some cool shorts and let my
hair loose over my shoulders I strutted to the door with the air of someone very
important hey remember me the girl you bullied well Steve said to let you know
he no longer needs you in his life bye I breeed through the sentence without
giving her space to reply I imitated her high-pitched bye at the end and I
watched back to my room to this day I wonder if the shock on her face was
because she thought I was his new girlfriend I really hope it was I'm
starting to question how good of a brother op's brother is mostly because a
they got with somebody who was a monster in high school which wasn't that long
ago or that b they were in a relationship long enough that they never
really found out about him having a sister that they you know live together
maybe show them maybe see a picture and realize it's the girl she bullied if she
cared enough maybe see a picture and remember it's the girl she bullied if
she would remember our next story is friend tries to steal my girl so I
smashed his gaming setup I'm the type of person that people think twice about
before they mess with or at least they should think twice about before they
mess with asides from the fact that I have a naturally big stature which I've
trained and built to muscular Perfection I hav't intense anger management issues
it's self- diagnosed so I don't know if I should call it that but in summary
when someone pisses me off I get so mad and I make sure I get them right back
now I might look intimidating which is why I said people think twice before
getting on my bad side but I'm not a violent person I'm not a bully and I
don't hit people I get them back in other ways more painful ways like
releasing embarrassing things about them on the Internet or burning their car
smashing their gadgets or just trashing their Apartments those kinds of things I
find them more satisfying than a little beating where you have to stop because
they passed out or they're bleeding way too much enough about that all I wanted
to do was show you how I react to people crossing me as it would help you
understand why I did what I did to my friend Jimmy but let me start the story
from the beginning for context I met Jimmy for the first time at a Lakehouse
party it was the summer after freshman year of college and I was hanging out
with my roommate and best friend Alec in his parents house my place was too far
to return to and honestly the journey wasn't worth it a few weeks before the
new school year started we decided to go to the lak house which was owned by
Jimmy's parents we had an arm wrestling competition where the loser had to strip
down to his underwear and stand in front of the house where everyone can see him
for 5 minutes after I won Jimmy did it one of the things that first endeared me
to Jimmy was how he owned a situation that would have left the average person
covering his head in shame it was really fun to watch after the party we pretty
much hung out the next day and the day after that and just like that we were
buddies School resumed a few days after and we all returned to campus I didn't
go to class for the first few days after
we resumed because I didn't feel like it I was the type of person who may not
attend a single class and still do very well that's just how I was built so why
bother after a week in my apartment and after finishing my Uncharted game for
the fourth time I got bored enough and decided to go to school best decision I
made that day I took a shower and went to my 1:00 class I got to the lecture
hall and took the back seat where I could do everything but pay attention to
the class without actually getting caught I arrived relatively earlier than
most people and it took a while for the class to fill up when it did the class
got Rowdy and I had to plug in my airpods a few minutes later someone
tapped me on the shoulder I turned to my
side and my mouth literally fell open at the beauty standing by my side I
remember that she had a nervous smile on her face as she looked around the class
she introduced herself as Laura she was a freshman and she was looking for her
lecture hall I asked her what course she was doing and she said econ 102 it was
at the other side of the campus and I offered to take her she declined at
first because she didn't want to bother me but I told her that it wasn't a
problem because I was going to leave the class anyway she said okay and we both
walked to the lecture building we talked on the way and I discovered that not
only is she beautiful but but she's also smart and funny we got along easily by
the time we got to the building I didn't want her to leave but she was already
late for class so I collected her number and she went on her way going to class
had its perks after all that night I texted her and we chatted till midnight
same thing the day after that and then the day after that soon enough we
couldn't do without texting the other every day I thought that we'd run out of
things to talk about eventually but that didn't happen it only got more
interesting note to everyone out there if you get a girl or guy that completely
gets you like completely gets your mentality and sense of humor and
compliments that never let her go 5 weeks after we started texting I asked
her out to see a movie and she readily agreed we went out one Saturday and then
we went to an arcade the next Saturday and then dinner the next one and then I
asked her to be my girlfriend to which she said yes all the while we were going
out I didn't tell my friends about her back then I was the the guy who made fun
of my friends for being too lovey-dovey with their girlfriends and even when
they told me that I'd do the same if I had one I said it was impossible but it
turned out that they were right and I didn't want to give them the
satisfaction of knowing that they were so I never told them that I was seeing
someone but eventually Alec found out we
were at the apartment one day along with
Jimmy and our other friend Kyle Alec and Kyle were playing FIFA and we were all
just chilling we ordered pizza earlier and I went to accept the delivery I left
my phone on the couch and I received a text I had saved Laura's name with a
single red rose and pink heart so there was no way to play it when the text came
in Jimmy looked at my phone and he alerted the others they all laughed and
made fun of me I didn't hear the end of it that day then Alec asked why I was
hiding my girlfriend they said they wanted to meet her I told them I was
going to do that in due time but the boys were very good with persuading me I
didn't hear the end of it that day they talked about my mystery girlfriend till
the end of the day and when I thought it was over they continued the next day I
had no other choice I told them that I was going to introduce her soon and that
was the only time they let me off the hook at least for the week exactly 5
days after the incident Alec asked again and it became a whole new thing
eventually I got tired of their incessant pestering and since I knew
Alex and Kyle's girlfriends I thought it would be fair to introduce them so I
decided to invite her over to a frat party we were all going to
on Friday evening we all went to the party and there I formally introduced
her to them after the normal small talk I went to go get drinks the kitchen was
crowded so I had to wait for a while to get it eventually I did and went back to
Lura I was already worried that she was going to be bored but surprisingly Jimmy
was keeping her company I returned to them and she asked me why I didn't tell
her that Jimmy was also an econ major they were discussing a particular course
and I hung back as they talked this went on for more than 20 minutes minutes and
it got kind of annoying there's an unspoken rule that says that a friend
shouldn't talk too much to his friend's girlfriend when his friend is standing
right there I don't know if there is a rule like that but there should be it
just makes sense after another 5 minutes
I had to step in I asked her if we could
go somewhere less crowded she agreed and we went outside to hang out when it was
time to leave I called an Uber and before Lara and I could get in Jimmy
asked if he could get Lara's number that was way out of line I mean speaking to
her for that long while I was standing right beside him was way out of line but
I could understand that they were talking about school but then he asked
for her number before I could say something he quickly added that he
wanted to send her some notes and materials he had for a particular course
apparently she told him she was having a problem with it because she didn't have
all the course materials yet I decided not to say anything since it's about
school I let it slide but that was not the end a few weeks after that party
Laura sent me a text she said Jimmy had been texting her and she couldn't tell
if he was just being friendly or if it was something more at this point I got
so mad and I asked her to send me a screenshot of all the texts they've had
and so she did the beginning was just the usual greetings and mundane
conversations and then it got to school stuff and then our relationship stuff
can you believe this guy he was asking Laura if I was treating her well you'd
think that's the worst thing he did but that's not all he went on to ask Laura
if they could meet up he was offering to help her study why I have no idea but I
needed to put an end to it I went to his place the next day and showed him the
texts I told him outrightly to stay away from my girlfriend he replied saying
that he didn't mean anything by the texts and that he was only being
friendly I didn't want to hear it I told him once more to not text her again and
I left but he didn't stop there he sent another text telling her how he didn't
appreciate the fact that she showed me their chats he even went as far as
insulting her calling her immature and all at this point I knew that I had to
do something I had let it go on for too long and I had to put a stop to it I
needed to teach Jimmy a lesson and I knew exactly how to do it Jimmy had a
gaming setup in his apartment and he spent a lot of money making it
professional he was aspiring to be a professional game streamer on YouTube
and twitch and he'd already started to do some mini streams to test the waters
that day I made sure he was on campus attending a lecture before I went to his
apartment I knew where he kept his spare key and I let myself in he had an iron
bat because he was a huge baseball fan that was what I used in smashing his
entire setup to bits when I had smashed it Beyond repair I decided to let myself
out the same way I came I made sure I wasn't seen so there wasn't anyone who
would trace the vandalism to me I never spoke to Jimmy again after that day is
it safe to to say that you should never ask your friend's girlfriend for their
number like it's just too far right like even if they were in a position to help
them study isn't it just too forward as a friend of a friend to say hey give me
your number let's try to meet up sometime like that should just be
impossible to do out of respect for your friend right but with that being said
that's all the time we have for today now if you want to hear another
absolutely crazy Revenge story check out that video on the left or if you missed
my latest video check out that video on the right that said I'll see you all

welcome friends to another r slash entitled parents video today we've got a
crazy story of an entitled parent wanting to kick a refugee out on the
streets but first a story from mipoos please parents accused me of ruining
christmas every year now wonder why i hate christmas one of my parents many
deep wounds is because that they grew up poor they never got the magical sort of
hallmark kind of christmas they saw growing up on tv there but unfortunately
for my brother and i who were raised upper middle class that meant that our
christmases were more elaborate vicarious wish fulfillment role-playing
scenes than they were a holiday while i was growing up christmas had to be this
perfect event filmed and documented ad nauseum we spent just as much of the
evening before and the morning of posing for forced family photos as we did
anything else there was more yelling and screaming that things go exactly as
planned than those photos suggested but back then i thought that was normal the
big sticking point every year was naturally the most vapid and consumerist
part of the whole event the presence for
context i've always had one true passion my whole life i've been drawing
sculpting painting and sewing since i was a very young kid i work
professionally full time as an artist now i still have my first sketchbook
from when i was five years old full of drawings of me trying to replicate the
anime characters i watched on tv and i never had enough supplies i was always
running out as i got older especially i was desperate for more advanced and
expensive tools like resin casting and drawing tablets my point being there are
clear and obvious choices for presence i put almost nothing but art supplies and
maybe a ds or a specific book on the christmas list my mom asked for us to
make for her every year only my mom had a very interesting gift-giving habit
despite asking for christmas lists my mom would often only get one maybe two
things on them she wanted the day to be a surprise so
she often just bought whatever she wanted and when it came to buying gifts
for me her daughter that often meant buying things she wanted things she
would have liked when she was my age again trying to vicariously get the
childhood she wanted not only that but my mom wanted to buy me things that she
felt looked impressive to share online and art supplies wasn't impressive to
her so she'd get me expensive jewelry and clothing weird gadgets extremely
overpriced bathroom products for some reason and then maybe a few cheap art
tools or materials which you know is fine i wasn't a greedy kid and i
appreciate the thought of course i didn't complain but a polite thank you
so much and a smile wasn't enough of a reaction for my parents i guess i wasn't
a very good actor and they could tell when i wasn't being genuine about liking
something they'd start interrogating me immediately don't lie why don't you like
it what's wrong with it i thought you'd like it and then feeling backed into a
corner i to be honest with them that i don't really like what they got me even
though i appreciate the thought that always led into do you know how much i
paid for that i would have killed to get
something that nice for christmas you're so spoiled we grew up dirt poor and you
don't know what it's like not to get a christmas at all etc i would end up
feeling so guilty and ungrateful by the end of it often locking myself in the
bathroom or going into my room to cry after which like it was tradition would
prompt my dad to say to me every year you ruined christmas christmas to this
day has become an unbelievably stressful
time of year for me i can't look through
photos of particularly bad years without
crying still in my mid-teens i developed what was basically a nervous reaction
where i'd be holding back tears and fighting to keep myself calm from the
dread and anxiety of just having to open presents that made it worse because
whether i liked what they got me or not they interpreted it as me being
difficult and snobby so i'd get guaranteed yelled at and berated for
hours afterwards christmas became nightmare ordeals prompting some of the
worst fights i've ever had with my parents not really much to do with the
gifts themselves and more so how i was never happy ever and how it was ruining
the whole family this was particularly embarrassing when it happened in front
of my extended family over the holiday i
got a reputation in the whole family for being a bratty teenage girl because my
parents would talk crap to them after the fight was over it was degrading and
humiliating when i was 13 that was the first year i asked them to just not get
presents at all for me that i just wanted to enjoy the time with my family
that that's what really mattered to me i was thrown through a loop at the time
when telling them this somehow it made them angrier at me they always brought
up money how i wasn't appreciative of how much i have compared to when they
were growing up so i thought this was the obvious solution i thought the
problem was i had too much obviously and needed less they accused me of not
wanting to participate in christmas at all even though i still wanted to
celebrate the holiday with them that made everything even worse that year
when christmas did happen every single year i begged them to just not buy me
anything that i was fine that never worked and it was like we were all
cursed to relive the same dramatic fight over and over again come december
without fail they did the same thing to my brother accused him of being
ungrateful and spoiled but he was always better at keeping his feelings on the
inside he didn't understand why i couldn't just stonewall it like he could
i felt so crappy about how every year no matter how hard i tried i'd crack and
start crying i'm now an adult of course i don't live with them anymore i've
asked them several times if they really even want me to come down and be there
when they'll have a better time with just my brother i tell them i can come
down and see them every other day of the year but as i ruin christmas without
fail i shouldn't be there on the day itself for everyone's sake they get
offended by the idea so i end up coming down they're utterly befuddled as to why
i despise christmas as much as i do when it's such a happy time of the year i
started telling them it's because i have a strong distaste for the consumerist
aspect of it which is true but obviously it also very much has to do with the
association of shame guilt and humiliation that seemed to have been the
magic key though because this year finally they agreed to not get me any
presents we compromised by them helping me get some new equipment for work which
was very generous of them and i very much appreciate it i love my fancy new
work computer that can handle all my work applications much better than my
old one this last christmas went pretty well because of that they complained the
whole time and acted like it was such a shame i didn't have anything to open on
christmas day but i felt much more at ease i just kept reminding them how much
i love my work computer i feel like a weight has been lifted and that
christmases will be so much easier to manage now that presents aren't in the
equation still though they know i have nothing but negative feelings towards it
and that i refuse to celebrate it with any of the partners i've had since the
last thing i want is for us to bring that nightmare holiday into my
relationship would you guys agree with me that it doesn't have to be right now
but at some point op should just come clean to their parents and their family
about exactly what it is they experienced while growing up that makes
them feel so off put about christmas do you guys think it would ever get through
to these parents considering how they've been this whole time let me know what

well our next story is from madly angry entitled mom cuts off my education for
an absurd reason entitled mother 45 cut off my education because i wasn't able
to finish an art she asked me to do the night before i'm 17 years old and i'm in
high school it's final season and naturally i'm very busy as i'm a
stereotypical it's asian not beijing i also do digital art last night my mom
messaged me when i was finishing a project asking me to draw her boss for
free i let her know that i'll try because i have quizzes a class and a
recitation the next day today our recitation got moved to the afternoon
but i was still busy because i was doing my duties as the math class secretary
afternoon came and we had class a short quiz and a recitation while i was
waiting for my turn to recite i was already drawing my mom's boss after
class i was rushing to finish coloring it she woke up at 4 pm her shift starts
at 6 pm she has to travel for 2 hours and asked if i'd already finished i said
i hadn't and she threw a temper tantrum she said that i'm lazy i'm a straight a
student only child and i do the chores every day she told me that i only want
to draw when i want to yes it's called a hobby and i'm not even getting paid for
this plus i mostly draw for art related projects she kept shouting at them
repeatedly at me sometimes even calling me useless i told her that art is not
easy to do and i'm not even getting paid for it so it's really wasting my
productivity time as well she said that if i have to be paid just for drawing
then i should just pay for my own education now she cut off my education
out of frustration i told her this but in tagalog are you kidding me what do
you think i am i'm a student and it's final season naturally i have a lot of
things to do i'm not joking when i said that drawing is not as easy as you think
try it you know what your problem is you always want to prioritize you over
everything else you are so entitled so yeah i think i just secured myself a
homeless life in a third world country do i regret it a bit but it felt good to
rub it in her face that the one she'll financially depend on for the rest of
her life has finally lost respect for her i just couldn't imagine having that
level of expectation being placed upon my shoulders not only expected to not
just do well in school but to excel in school chores free hobby work i love my
free time i love my personal time i just couldn't imagine ever surviving running
a schedule where almost every waking hour is spent doing stuff that's never
just for me imagine never being able to just turn off your brain and enjoying an
afternoon because those expectations are just placed upon you especially at 17
years old this nice story is from oreobot299
homophobic entitled mom tries stealing my water bottle it's not surprising to
me that this happened i live in a red state and the part of my town that i
live in is overwhelmingly upper middle class conservatives the kinds of people
who had trump 2020 signs in their yards in march of 2021 you get the type now
i'm a fairly active person i'm at the gym regularly and i've never encountered
anything like this i'm also openly queer
and the water bottle that i bring to the gym shows that it has several stickers
on it most of them bought off of etsy or things that people have given me over
the years mostly important for this story i have a sticker that says trans
rights on it that i bought when i came out a year and a half ago now my gym
routine is simple but part of it involves entering into these hallways
that my gym has where people work on mats and do bodyweight exercises i do my
routine and i'm about to leave when i hear that all too familiar ahem from
behind me now the hallway i'm in connects to the stairs so i assume she
came up then without me seeing she's your stereotypical karen with obviously
dyed blonde hair and a kid in tow this is unusual like most gyms the gym i
attend doesn't let kids use the equipment until a certain age for hours
it's 11 to use and 14 unsupervised and the kid can't be more than eight however
there's a classroom on this floor that teaches kids as well as adults so i
figured he's here for a class she's wearing a shirt that says no way vacay
which has nothing to do with the story but i thought it was funny i'm mostly
confused as to why she's talking to me to be honest i turn to look at her and
the following conversation ensues i say can i help you she says this is a family
place and i think you should keep that at home i say what she rolls her eyes
and says don't play dumb that she points in my water bottle is
unacceptable i say what it's worth noting at this point that although i'm
publicly out and used they them pronouns everywhere i go i still present really
feminine in most cases unless i introduce myself with my pronouns people
just assume i'm a really enthusiastic ally there's many reasons for this but
most of them stem from my own insecurities about my physical
appearance so i won't get into them here
karen says you're not even old enough to know if you're gay or not talk to me
when you're an adult and with that she leaves i thought that was the end of it
and i would leave with a funny story to tell my parents when i got home but i
was so very wrong also worth noting before i get into the juicy part is that
my 18th birthday is in less than two weeks i'm almost legally an adult so i
would definitely class myself as old enough to know i'm pretty young but i'm
not like a preteen still figuring out my sexuality and gender out i'm sure about
it anyways after she leaves i leave my stuff behind to go grab a wipe to clean
my mat so i can put it back given the title of the post i'm sure you can see
where this is going i get back to my mat and my water bottle is gone i panic
obviously homophobia or transphobia i can deal with it says more about them
than it says about me but i have pretty severe anxiety and having my stuff
touched moved taken or basically changed in any way is a huge no-no for me i put
up my mat grabbed the rest of my stuff and had to find a staff member i walked
back into the weight room and i spot her immediately and she's holding my water
bottle she's standing next to her husband who's yelling something at the
worker that sounds along the lines of my son should be able to use the machines
age restrictions for safety reasons be darned don't you know who i am yadda
yadda i walk over and tap karen on the shoulder she spins around and looks very
smug to see me i say give me my water bottle back it's my property karen says
you shouldn't have these things around my children we're a christian family and
god says i cut him off and say my mom's a priest ma'am i know a fair bit about
what god says and i don't think he would approve of stealing karen says and what
does she say about these things you've plastered on your
belongings i say she bought me some of them i need you to give me my water
bottle back by now the staff member that ken was yelling at has noticed me the
staff member says what's the problem here ladies i say she stole my water
bottle and i want it back it's mine now most of the gym staff have a vague idea
of who i am they don't know me by name or anything but i my dad and his parents
are all regulars at this gym they do however still treat me as female
what you gonna do i'm leaving for college in two months so
the staff member says ma'am you'll need to give back her things karen looks
pissed but she doesn't actually object she shoves the water bottle at me and
walks off leaving her husband and son to trail after her i'm pretty visibly
shaken i hate confrontation and i hate people taking my stuff even more the
worker gives me a brief are you okay and i say that i'm fine just shaken he nods
and walks off to do his job i leave the gym pretty much too shaken to finish my
workout and tell my parents about it when i get home it's already one thing
for the karen to have non-inclusive thoughts here personally i think just
that alone is enough to put a bad taste in my mouth but the utter disrespect
beyond that personally i think they deserve to have their can go outside and
interact with the common public card revoked our next story is from cthulhu
wizard entitled dad demands i hold a kitten aside for him this happened a few
years ago but it still upsets me when it crosses my mind and is part of the
reason behind why i have huge social anxiety so i used to volunteer for an
animal rescue center and they have these small stores around the state that
allows people to play with kittens but you can also adopt kittens and purchase
merchandise for pets one shift i had was an afternoon shift and i was working
alone not many people came by as the store closed late so i would play with
the kittens give them their dinner and clean up the store just before i closed
i had a father entitled dad and son walk in wanting to adopt a kitten for their
mother for their birthday i gave him some info on the cat and told him how
much it would be to adopt her he then told me he didn't want to pick her up
today he would like to pick her up in two days time now our policy in the
store and at the main shelter is that we cannot hold any animal aside for anyone
even if they promise to return and pick them up i told entitled dad this and he
responds telling me it'll be fine he'll be back to collector and asked if i can
just take down the kitten's info sheet so no one else would adopt her before he
came back after repeating to him that we
can not hold cats for anyone i just took down the info just so he would leave as
i had a clothes entitled dad returns two days later with his wife and both kids
in tow and i happen to be working as they needed someone on shift as someone
called in sick entitled dad walks up to me and says he's here to pick up the
kitten i let him know that the kitten had been adopted the day before and
apologize he then raises his voice and tells me that it was his cat and that he
saw me take the info down i reply reminding him of our policy and
apologize again he starts to yell at me the kid started crying and the wife now
decided that she needs to put her two cents in she says look what you did you
made my kids cry i said i'm sorry but we can't hold animals for anyone she says
why would you make a promise you can't keep admittedly i did get a bit heated
as it really grinds me when people blame me for something i didn't do i'm also
autistic and have never dealt with entitled people before so
and i feel really horrible about this i yelled back at her telling her i didn't
promise her kids crap and titled mother then goes off for swearing at her kids
for which i ignore as i'd felt bad immediately after yelling an entitled
dad asks for my manager's number we don't have a manager to contact so i
gave them the number for the woman who was in charge of our shifts and the
store's kittens and merchandise entitled
dad had given her a call shouting at her on the phone and demanding that i'm
fired i didn't hear much after that as i'd taken myself into the back of the
store to calm myself down the guy i was working with looked shocked himself over
what had happened and made sure i was okay i ended up leaving work early and
then leaving the position as i was now terrified to go back i was terrified
those people would return and harass me again i was terrified to leave the house
to go shopping for a little while after as well but i'm doing a lot on my own
again again i might have made it worse when i yelled i feel really terrible
about it and i would apologize to the kids if i could they shouldn't have had
to have seen what happened personally i think op just has an abundance of
caution i think any normal person can see right through this couple i just
hope for opisic that they can move past this because they don't deserve to feel
trapped in their house they deserve to feel like they can go out and experience
the world and go shopping if need be and our final story of the day is from 13
year old girl entitled parents want me to kick out refugees ukraine 2022 me 29
year old male my girlfriend of five years 29 year old female girlfriend's
entitled dad entitled mom and even grandma at some point girlfriend's
friend z 33 year old female and z's mom as some of you may know we are at war
since the 24th of february i live in a rather big house in the western part of
the country which is relatively peaceful we've only had one rocket hit so far
girlfriend and all other characters are living in kiev the capital we all
realize that the war will happen and my girlfriend wanted to get out of the
capital into my hometown i bought her a train ticket on the 23rd of february so
she left the city a few hours before bombings begun later we were watching
the fights on the streets in the neighborhood where she and her parents
live also the rocket was shot in the air and debris fell in the house just a few
blocks away from girlfriend's house well i took her out of there just in time on
the second day here my girlfriend asks if she can invite her friend z and her
mom and a cat to stay in my house as they were fleeing from kiev i have
plenty of room so of course i agreed they arrived on the third day entitled
dad and entitled mom stayed in the city a few days later entitled dad starts to
ask girlfriend what zee's doing in my house and says that she should be
careful because women are insidious and z's going to steal me from her and it's
all because we're not officially married
we were pretty pissed by this bs because our relationships are serious lasting
five years i never cheated never gave a reason to worry that i will cheat i
don't even really like z as a woman or even as a person and it's none of their
business why i didn't propose yet but whatever we brushed it off though we
were stressed because of the war another two or three days pass i know that from
time to time girlfriend has these conversations about z and me at some
point girlfriend says entitled dad wants to talk with you in private so he calls
me and it goes like this he says hey opie i say hey he says where are the
girls what are they doing can they hear us red flags red flags i say no they
can't what's up he says look i know you're a good fella and you want to help
everyone yeah thanks for that but i want you to find z and her mom another house
to live i say why he says well me and entitled mom made this decision and yeah
if you want to keep a contact and good relationships with us you'll do as we
say otherwise we're going to speak to girlfriend about breaking up with you
i'm stunned there's around 2 million residents of my region and as the war
begun we had over a million refugees it's almost impossible to find a place
to live right now and he knows it darn well because his colleague left kiev
with his elderly mother wife and six-year-old daughter and they were
sleeping in a car for a few days at freezing temperatures outside because
there was no place for them to stay i say no i'm not going to kick anybody out
of my house entitled dad says okay bye i told girlfriend about this decision and
she's furious but they insist that i'll leave her for z entitled mother says
that my girlfriend is a call girl for me
i called her and there she is yeah never mind i saved your daughter from tanks
and rockets ungrateful jerks the next day entitled mother calls girlfriend and
says hey there's a way to evacuate to germany and stay there and title dad has
already arranged everything andre a colleague who slept in a car is going to
germany and they have a free seat in a car what do you say girlfriend's crying
she's in a panic scared she wants to flee but she doesn't want to leave me i
on the other hand want her to be safe so i don't mind her leaving but i have a
very strong suspicion that all this evacuation
is bs girlfriend agrees to leave calls parents and asks about when andre is
going to pick her up and where exactly she'll stay entitled dad will call him
and we'll let you know maybe today maybe
tomorrow as for a place to stay we don't know yet entitled dad's going to call
someone in germany that's the great plan it's a swiss freaking watch for an hour
or so girlfriends sitting there nervous waiting for the call from parents
checking the phone constantly and to spice things up every few minutes
entitled mother sends her freaking memes via viper when we calmed down a bit we
gave it a thought and started to ask questions how exactly entitled dad
thinks andre is going to bring his family to germany if males 18 to 60 are
not allowed to cross the border and no one else is driving how two young women
with a small kid and only a grandma are going to cross slovakia without
transport and get to germany what does it mean everything is set in germany if
only now you're making calls tired of waiting girlfriend calls andre himself
girlfriend says hey it's girlfriend where are you going to pick me up andre
says pick you up she says entitled dad said you're going to germany and you
have a free seat andre says oh that was kind of the sort of plan if things
really messed up i was going to give my family a ride to a border and they'll
somehow get to germany and i'm going back to fight but we found a house 25
minutes from you we're safe and warm we're not going anywhere so girlfriend
calls entitled dad and asks what is the god darn plan why he wants to get her
away from people who love her and care about her just send her into a refugee
shelter alone with just a backpack and why wouldn't he evacuate himself or at
least entitled mother even though they almost could see russian troops out
their window no answer except for he'll cheat on you with z the next day they
called girlfriend and apologized for this show they made saying we panicked
yeah we panicked and decided to separate you from your boyfriend right the next
day he refused to obey our decisions what a coincidence a month passed
girlfriend keeps in touch with her parents and grandma even though she says
i'm looking at them as they're different people after what they did from time to
time the parents are talking crap about me grandma also thinks that since we're
not married i'm going to cheat with every girl i see a few weeks ago
girlfriend went back to kiev for a few days as she had some unfinished business
there of course she visited her parents and when she openly confronted entitled
dad about what he said about z this worm said that he never said that i
should kick someone out and there was no
ultimatum kick out z or we won't contact
anymore it was just my decision to break
contact with them also both entitled dad and entitled mom are mad about z for
staying in my place for so long since it's already safe to go back in kiev
even though the day before they said that a rocket hit a building four
kilometers away from their house while in kiev girlfriend visits her grandma
entitled grandma it was fine at first but at some point the entitled grandma
says do you have a picture of z can i see it girlfriend says why she says just
curious you've been friends for so many years 20 or so i'm curious how she looks
girlfriend shows her a photo and she says she has long hair girlfriend says
she does entitled grandma says she's taller right girlfriend says yes
why the grandma says nothing it's just they say men prefer taller girls haha
girlfriend doesn't say anything and the grandma says don't worry you're prettier
at this point even entitled mother is shocked my girlfriend was just compared
to another girl like some piece of meat and judging by tone comparison was not
in her favor how messed up in the head do you have to be to say something like
that well the story has no end as for now girlfriend keeps in touch with her
parents and grandma they still try to convince her that i'm a cheating jerk
but now it's just once in a while and can easily be stopped i've learned some
other sick things about entitled dad but it's not relevant to the story and it's
already too long i'm no expert here but it sounds like these people are really
stuck in old traditions or beliefs i just think it would be crushing to be in
either op or the girlfriend's shoes being committed to somebody for five
years and just being labeled a cheater like that trying to get extorted with
horrendous ultimatums like that throwing your friend out to the mess of the war
and refugee shelters to me it feels like the girlfriend's parents and maybe even
the grandma might not have a real heart but with that being said that's all the
time we have for today now if you want to hear another entitled parent story
that was crazier than any of the ones in this video click on that left video or
if you missed my latest video click on the right with that said though i'll see
you all next time with some more stories | give me a good story on rEntitledParentsCRAZYDADWANTSMETOKICKOUTAREFUGEERedditStoriesorig |

the film commences with a tragic event that occurred on July 4th 1969 at Lovers
Lane in Vallejo California during the incident Darlene Farren and Michael
Renault were ruthlessly shot multiple times by an unidentified assailant
regrettably Darlene succumbs to her injuries while Mike narrowly survives
following the brutal act the perpetrator contacts the authorities via a 9-1-1
call to report his action approximately four weeks later a letter from the
assailant arrives at the editorial Office of the San Francisco Chronicle
newspaper the initial encrypted letter sent by the Zodiac Killer marked the
beginning of a series of such cryptic correspondence alongside the letter the
killer also included a demand that it be published in the newspaper threatening
further violence if ignored this prompts Paul Avery a renowned journalist and
crime reporter at the San Francisco Chronicle to commence investigations
into the case the encrypted letter also captures the attention of Robert
Graceman a political cartoonist Robert astutely deduces that the identity of
the the Killer is not encoded within the letter but his Insight is dismissed by
Avery who does not include him in the initial investigations however over time
a history teacher successfully cracks the encryption subsequently the Zodiac
Killer sends numerous additional Cipher letters to the chronicle posing a
challenge for law enforcement to decipher them all Robert makes diligent
attempts to decipher the letters by scouring books from the library despite
Avery's derisive comment however once Robert successfully decodes the letter
Avery's attitude towards him changes and he begins to share more information
Robert's investigation leads him to discover that the letter is a reference
to the movie the most dangerous man which alludes to the concept of a man
who hunts other humans the most dangerous prey during September of 1969
the Zodiac Killer strikes once more at Lake Berryessa in Napa County two
individuals Brian Hartnell and Cecilia Shepard are stabbed during the attack
tragically Shepard succumbs to her injuries while Hartnell manages to
survive following the incident the zodiac sends a new letter to the
chronicle proclaiming that man is the most dangerous animal of all
subsequently a fortnight after the previous incident a cab driver named
Paul Stein is fatally shot by the Zodiac in San Francisco's Presidio Heights
district the killer then sends fragments
of Stein's bloodstained shirt along with
another chilling ladder to the chronicle the San Francisco Police Department
assigns the case to two of their seasoned detectives Dave Toshi and his
partner Bill Armstrong a letter surfaces from the Zodiac Killer revealing a
Sinister plan to Target school buses in the city then on October 22 1969 barely
two weeks after the cab driver's murder an individual claiming to be the Zodiac
calls into a morning talk show expressing a desire to speak with lawyer
Melvin belly the killer agrees to go by the name Sam during the conversation
Melvin inquires Sam you need to confide in me and tell me what's troubling you
Sam responds I don't want to face the gas chamber I suffer from severe
headaches Melvin probes further asking how long Sam has been experiencing these
headaches to this Sam reveals I've had headaches for a long time ever since I
killed a kid as Melvin continues to inquire the call suddenly disconnects
despite Sam's earlier agreement to meet he provides directions to a church in
Dolly City Melvin and the sfpd swiftly Converge on the location only to
discover that the caller is actually an individual from a mental institution
even Brian Hartnell a survivor of a previous attack confirms that the voice
does not match that of the man who shot them at Lake barius throughout 1969 and
1970 the Zodiac continues to send letters to both Melvin belly and the
chronicle these letters serve to taunt the police and claim responsibility for
various incidents however the chronicle eventually decides to cease publishing
the letters as Avery raises doubts about
the Zodiac's intentions and truthfulness Avery shares with Robert that he
suspects The Gun Sight symbol used in the Zodiac's letters is copied from the
logo of the zodiac brand of watch meanwhile Avery begins Ryan adding
compelling stories about the Zodiac and is even rewarded with a personal letter
from the killer along with a fragment of the cab driver's blood-stained shirt
Avery's curiosity about the Zodiac leads him to seek out more information and he
meets with an undisclosed Source in Riverside California he believes he has
discovered evidence of the Zodiac's initial murder victim prompting Dave and
Armstrong to travel to Riverside for further investigation despite the
Striking similarities and evidence Dave and Armstrong are not convinced that it
matches the profile of the Zodiac Killer however Avery's story gains traction
with the public convincing many of the Killer's identity although Dave remains
skeptical following Avery's article numerous individuals claim to know the
true identity of the zodiac among all the interviews conducted Arthur Lee
Allen emerges as a potential suspect Dave Armstrong and Mullinax question
Arthur extensively but their efforts yield no significant progress due to
their suspicions they also interview Arthur's Family who willingly provide
handwriting samples for for comparison however Sherwood Mora upon examining the
handwriting samples from Arthur and the killer finds no connection or match
between the two after extensive investigation they discovered that
Arthur has been relocated to Santa Rosa a warrant is obtained from the Santa
Rosa PD and Dave and Armstrong's search Arthur's trailer Arthur returns home
during the search and a new handwriting sample in fingerprint comparison or take
but none of the evidence matches the information in the Zodiac file Dave
becomes frustrated as he was convinced that Arthur was the Zodiac Killer four
years have passed and life has taken different turns for everyone Robert has
remarried and has begun rebuilding her family Paul Avery has left the chronicle
and is now employed by the Sacramento Bee Dave Toshi has taken aback when his
partner Bill Armstrong informs him of his decision to leave the homicide and
transfer to the fraud department over the course of these four years the
Zodiac Killer has remained inactive Robert's wife Melanie reminds him of the
collection of zodiac related material he has accumulated a upon realizing this
Robert pays a visit to Avery to discuss his intention of writing a book about
the Zodiac however Avery appears disinterested and informs Robert that he
has lost all the information pertaining to the killer much to Robert's
disappointment Robert rushes towards Dave Toshi for help Dave initially
claims he cannot assist but he discreetly advises Robert to seek out
Ken narlo and knob after a brief period of Silence narlo instructs Robert to
review the evidence collected by the Napa Police in the case of Darlene
Farren and Michael Renault following a meticulous investigation Robert
approaches Dave once again to share his findings Robert reveals that Darlene had
multiple admirers and it is plausible that the Zodiac could be one of him he
further explains that on the night of Darlene's murder she received suspicious
phone calls with heavy breathing on the line based on the gathered information
Robert becomes convinced that the killer had a personal connection with darling
he expresses his desire to meet Darlene's sister but Dave suggests
reaching out to Melvin belly instead as Robert waits for the the lawyer to
arrive one of his housekeepers informs him that the Zodiac had spoken to her in
Melvin belly's absence the Zodiac reportedly informed the housekeeper that
he had committed a murder on his birthday Robert uses this information to
narrow down the possible dates to December 18th through the 20th he
follows Dave's recommendation and checks the Department of Justice for
information but finds limited assistance from him shortly thereafter Robert
receives a call alleging that Rick Marshall is the true Zodiac Killer and
that Bob Vaughn has filmed canisters containing evidence that implicates Rick
Robert consults Sherwood moral regarding fingerprints and handwriting samples of
the killer in the meantime Sherwood reveals that a man named Wallace Penny
had previously told him about a certain Rick Marshall being the Zodiac Robert is
startled to learn that the same man who called him had also spoken to Sherwood
at the chronicle Toshi urgently arrives after being informed that the department
has received the First new zodiac letter in four years however some accused Dave
of fabricating the letter for publicity leading to his removal from the homicide
division Robert attempts to question Dave about Rick Marshall but Dave
refuses to provide any answers Robert then travels to Napa to speak with Ken
narla who reveals that he had previously
interviewed Rick Marshall but was unable to obtain any fingerprints or
handwriting samples from him in his quest to locate Marsh Robert contacts
more and obtains the contact information for Wallace Penny Penny shares with
Robert a poster that Rick Marshall had drawn for a silent movie theater moral
identifies some minor similarities to the Zodiac style but requires further
details Robert's obsession with the Zodiac case begins to take a toll on his
personal life as he loses his job at the chronicle and his wife takes their
children and leaves the house due to fear of the zodiac Robert has been
receiving unsettling calls with heavy breathing on his phone despite this he
persists in his efforts to locate Lind the sister of Darlene Farren for
assistance he also reaches out to Bob Vaughn for help who reveals that he knew
Rick Marshall from their days as theater projectionists when Robert asked Bob
about the posters Bob claims that he himself had drawn all of them not Rick
despite his efforts Robert's inquiries do not yield any significant progress
however he eventually manages to meet Linda Darlene's sister who is currently
incarcerated Robert questions Linda about a painting party where she had an
uncomfortable encounter with someone but to Robert's surprise Linder refutes his
assumption that it was Rick Marshall instead identifying the person as
someone named Lee Robert quickly deduces that Linda is referring to Arthur Lee
Allen he urgently heads to Dave Tosh's residence in the dead of night although
Dave is initially reluctant they eventually go out for a meal and discuss
the various suspicious individuals who could potentially be the Zodiac Killer
they both agree that Arthur Lee Allen is
a plausible suspect however Dave informs Robert that there is no concrete
evidence to support this Theory leaving Robert at a loss for words Dave
continues to offer his support for Grace Smith's book on the Zodiac case the
story then progresses to December 1983 where Robert unexpectedly the encounters
Arthur Lee Allen in a hardware store in Vallejo he is momentarily Frozen in
shock unable to react and eventually leaves the store without saying a word
in 1991 after the passage of eight years Michael Renault is invited by the
authorities to identify potential suspects from a set of mugshots after
careful observation he points out Arthur Lee Allen as the individual who is most
likely to be the Zodiac the saddest reality of the movie Zodiac is the
unresolved mystery that consumes the character from the taunting and Elusive
Zodiac Killer to the toll it takes on the detectives and journalists the
unending hunt devastating impact on victims family and constant fear and
paranoia create a haunting and tragic atmosphere the film portrays the dark
reality of an unsolved case where closure remains elusive leaving scars

what is the saddest moment of your life I'll never forget when I got the most
bone-chilling voice message from my mom and our family group chat at this time I
was in school our class just ended and I
was still sitting in the classroom I put on my headphones to listen to what my
mom sent me all of a sudden I felt sick to my stomach I played the message and I
heard deep emotional breathing my mom started talking she explained that she
and my dad had been in a car crash I could barely understand what she was
saying she was speaking frantically I couldn't tell if it was from the
adrenaline or if she had been crying she said that our Dad loved us and cared
about us at this point I started to cry I knew what was coming with a heavy
heart she revealed that our dad had passed away on impact my heart dropped
to the floor shattering into a million pieces I was still in a classroom and
was unable to move she continued about how her dad loved us that we need to
take care of each other and love each other after that she said she loved us
one more time then the message stopped I couldn't believe what just happened I
was hoping it wasn't real a part of me still thought they were still alive I
saw my brother in the hallway goofing off and laughing with his friends after

:17.520 --> :20.640 I Got My Evil Fast Food Boss FIRED!
:20.640 --> :25.280
The summer before my freshman year of college,
I worked at a local franchise of a fast food
:25.280 --> :29.280 chain that’s pretty popular here in the
US. I won’t say the name of the chain, :29.280 --> :34.240
because I’d hate to tarnish their precious
reputation (or somehow face legal action all
:34.240 --> :37.920 these years later), but let’s just say
they’re well known for their delicious :37.920 --> :43.600
chicken sandwiches and their ownership’s
unfriendliness towards the LGBT community… :43.600 --> :46.400
Anyway, this was the first real job I ever held.
:46.400 --> :50.240 I’d done random stuff here and there over
the years --- yard work for neighbors, :50.240 --> :55.600
reffing basketball games, dog sitting --- but
nothing ever amounting to an actual position.
:55.600 --> :59.840 You know, something with wages and
a uniform and all that “good” stuff. :59.840 --> :03.280
At the start of the summer, I was
actually excited for the job, though. :03.280 --> :07.920
Working at a fast food restaurant wasn’t
exactly the most glamorous thing in the world,
:07.920 --> :14.080
sure, but I knew I’d at least be making money
(something my teenage self had a definite lack of)
:14.080 --> :18.400 and I also knew several of my school friends
had worked at the same franchise before.
:18.400 --> :22.320 They never complained to me about
work, so how bad could it really be? :22.320 --> :27.120
I had also had a really pleasant interview to
get the job. The man who conducted it had been a
:27.120 --> :32.640
nice older gentleman --- graying hair, roundish
face, soft smile --- who had kindly reassured
:32.640 --> :37.840
me that the work wasn’t too bad and that I would
quickly receive a raise in my hourly wage once I
:37.840 --> :42.800
completed their mandatory training. At the time,
I had assumed that he was going to be my boss
:42.800 --> :47.840
and that it was going to be his calm presence
and kind demeanor running the work environment. :47.840 --> :50.320
Boy, how nice that would’ve been… :50.320 --> :55.040
Anyway, on my first day of work, I walked into
the restaurant and made my way into the back
:55.040 --> :00.320
kitchen area, where I was supposed to be working
that summer. Not seeing Mr. Carlson (the man
:00.320 --> :04.720 from my interview), I approached a kitchen
worker who was putting together sandwiches.
:04.720 --> :10.000 “Uh, excuse me,” I said, “is Mr. Carlson
here? It’s my first day, and I’m ---” :10.000 --> :14.000
“Mr. Carlson?” the guy interrupted.
“Mr. Carlson’s not here right now, :14.000 --> :16.640
I don’t think. He doesn’t really come in that often,
:16.640 --> :21.200 just for special occasions, prospective
employee interviews, that kind of stuff.” :21.200 --> :24.960
“But isn’t he the manager?” I asked. “How can he not come in that often?”
:24.960 --> :28.960 The guy looked at me confused. “Mr.
Carlson’s not the manager --- he’s :28.960 --> :34.480
the franchise owner. She,” he said nodding
towards a middle aged woman, “is the manager.” :34.480 --> :38.240
I looked over at the lady he had
pointed out. She was short, thin, :38.240 --> :43.680
and seemed to have a permanent frown carved
onto her face. It looked like she was chewing
:43.680 --> :48.960
someone out at the other end of the kitchen. As
I was studying her, she suddenly turned around,
:48.960 --> :52.800 locked eyes with me, and began making
her way over to where I was standing. :52.800 --> :56.000
The guy I’d been talking with noticed her walking over too,
:56.000 --> :00.960
and quickly went back to his sandwiches. “Nice to
meet you, man, but I’ve got to get back to work.
:00.960 --> :05.600 The name’s Nate, though.” He paused for a
second and then looked back at me. “Good luck.” :05.600 --> :09.920
Before I had the chance to ask him what
sort of luck I would need frying nuggets
:09.920 --> :15.360
and putting together sandwiches, suddenly the
manager had made it across the kitchen and was
:15.360 --> :21.840
right at my side. “You’re late!” she said to me,
emphasizing the last word like it was a crime
:21.840 --> :27.360
on par with murder. “Not really a great first
impression to make with your new boss, is it?” :27.360 --> :30.000
“Late?” I asked, genuinely confused. :30.000 --> :33.680
“I thought my shift was supposed to start at , and it’s ---”
:33.680 --> :38.960 “,” she said, like that had
somehow cleared the confusion up. :38.960 --> :45.040
“Not one minute late, not two minutes
late, but three entire minutes late.” :45.040 --> :49.440
Was she serious right now? “Well, I got here at ,
:49.440 --> :53.040 I just wasn’t sure where to
go, and I was looking for ---” :53.040 --> :59.120
“Uh uh uh, nope, nope,” she said, interrupting me
like a preschool teacher. “That’s not what we’re
:59.120 --> :03.840
gonna do right now --- make excuses like that.
That’s the kind of stuff that’s gonna get you
:03.840 --> :08.880 sent right out that door,” she said pointing
to the exit. “When I tell you you messed up,
:08.880 --> :13.840 all I want to hear is ‘I’m sorry, Ms.
Connie. It won’t happen again.’ Understand?” :14.560 --> :18.320
I gave Ms. Connie the most professional
nod I could muster in that moment, :18.320 --> :23.840
but she made a sort of motion with her hand like
she was waiting for more. After a few seconds,
:23.840 --> :29.600 I got it. “I’m sorry Ms. Connie,” I said
with gritted teeth. “It won’t happen again.” :29.600 --> :34.320
She nodded smugly to herself, apparently
satisfied with my apology, then turned :34.320 --> :39.360
around and told me to follow her. “And make it
quick. You’ve got a lot of work to catch up on.” :39.360 --> :42.480
After that, the rest of my eight
hour shift went about as well as :42.480 --> :45.360
my first conversation with Ms. Connie had gone. :45.360 --> :50.000
There was genuinely a lot of stuff to pick up
about working in the kitchen, for one thing.
:50.000 --> :55.200
How to properly put on a hair net, how to work
the deep frying machines, how to operate the
:55.200 --> :00.960
industrial dishwasher, how to determine if the
pickle slices were too big or too small, how long
:00.960 --> :06.560
to keep the sandwich buns in the toaster for ---
the list of insanely specific instructions seemed
:06.560 --> :11.680
to grow bigger and bigger as the day went on,
and I struggled to keep it all fresh in my head. :11.680 --> :15.440
But that was nothing compared to the nightmare that was Ms. Connie.
:15.440 --> :19.840 I don’t even know how to explain it, other
than to say I basically experienced that
:19.840 --> :25.840 first interaction I had with her for the
entire day. On repeat. For eight hours.
:25.840 --> :31.200 There was just no relief from her presence.
At the frying station, at the dishwasher,
:31.200 --> :36.640 at the sandwich counter --- there she was,
breathing down my neck, watching me like a hawk,
:36.640 --> :42.800
criticizing my every move. When I finally got
a 15 minute break five hours into my shift,
:42.800 --> :47.680
I half expected her to follow me into the restroom
and critique the way I stood at the urinal. :47.680 --> :52.080
You’re probably assuming, from this
description, that Ms. Connie was at least
:52.080 --> :56.160 the one leading me around the kitchen and,
you know, showing me how everything was
:56.160 --> :01.440 supposed to be done. But nope! That job
went to my main man Nate from earlier, :01.440 --> :07.360
after Ms. Connie had barked at him to “get over
here and show this idiot how we do things.” :07.360 --> :13.040
Ms. Connie’s job, in reality, seemed to
just consist of standing right beside me,
:13.040 --> :18.240 scowling, and interrupting whatever I was
attempting to do with some sort of insanely
:18.240 --> :24.560 specific, always unhelpful comment every 5
seconds. I kid you not when I say I didn’t
:24.560 --> :31.200
get through a single task that day without having
to endure some sort of infuriating little nitpick. :31.200 --> :34.560
As I was taking a container of nuggets out of a deep fryer:
:34.560 --> :39.120
“You’re not holding that handle tightly enough!
Are you trying to kill us all with boiling oil?”
:39.120 --> :43.520 (I had both hands on the handle, and about
as secure a grip as is humanly possible.) :43.520 --> :46.800
As I was putting pickle slices on sandwich buns:
:46.800 --> :52.400
“That slice right there is not even close to the
right size! I said around the size of a nickel,
:52.400 --> :57.680
not the size of a penny! Are you even listening
to me?” (I looked it up later. The size difference
:57.680 --> :04.240 between a penny and a nickel is --- wait
for it --- 2 millimeters. 2 millimeters.) :04.240 --> :09.360
As I was scrubbing dishes in the back after
the restaurant had closed: “I can’t believe
:09.360 --> :15.920
I seriously have to tell you this! Scrub the pan
clockwise, not counterclockwise! I shouldn’t have
:15.920 --> :21.600
to be holding your hand through every little thing
you do.” (I’m not gonna even comment on this one.) :21.600 --> :24.880
Needless to say, by the end of my eight hour shift that day,
:24.880 --> :31.040
I was beyond done with Ms. Connie. Ready to quit,
ready to leave and never return, ready to find
:31.040 --> :37.520
a new job --- ready, honestly, to do anything
else that didn’t involve being paid minimum wage
:37.520 --> :43.520 to spend eight hours in a hot, loud kitchen
with the most frustrating boss imaginable. :43.520 --> :47.440
Somehow, though --- with every sign
pointing at me to find something :47.440 --> :52.400
better --- I decided to stay. I only had two
and a half months before summer was over,
:52.400 --> :56.720 I reasoned to myself. I could stick
it out for that long. And besides, :56.720 --> :01.440
it couldn’t possibly get any worse than it
had been on the first day, right? Right…? :01.440 --> :08.720
Narrator voice: he was not right. It
could, in fact, get worse. Much much worse. :08.720 --> :11.840
As I would learn quite well through
my time working with her that summer, :11.840 --> :18.560
Ms. Connie was not just rude or frustrating or
overly zealous about clockwise dish scrubbing. No,
:18.560 --> :23.760
that was just the surface level stuff --- the kind
of stuff you’d pick up on from one day working
:23.760 --> :30.560
with her. The real Ms. Connie had a whole laundry
list of nasty traits, some of which exposed her
:30.560 --> :37.040
as being a just generally horrible person, but all
of which exposed her as being a truly incompetent,
:37.040 --> :42.240
insufferable boss to work for. Let’s run through a
few of them, so you can hopefully see what I mean. :42.240 --> :44.960
Nasty trait number 1: Laziness :44.960 --> :49.720
There’s no beating around the bush on this
one: Ms. Connie was just downright lazy. I
:49.720 --> :53.280 had already gotten a glimpse of this side
of her from my first day --- you know, :53.280 --> :58.960
when she got Nate to show me how to do everything
and spoke up only when she wanted to criticize
:58.960 --> :04.400
something I was doing --- but this experience
was actually a little misleading. Why? Well,
:04.400 --> :09.760 it turned out Ms. Connie regularly did even
less than she had done on that first day. :09.760 --> :15.200
A typical “work” day for her would involve sitting
on a folding chair she would keep in the center
:15.200 --> :20.480
of the kitchen, flipping through some magazine
or newspaper or scrolling through her phone,
:20.480 --> :24.000 and then periodically looking up
from her reading material to scream :24.000 --> :28.080
at someone about how they were doing
something “all wrong.” The only reason :28.080 --> :32.080
she would get up from her chair would
be to use the restroom or, more often, :32.080 --> :36.800
to chew someone out if she felt they deserved
more than a regular, sitting down reprimand. :36.800 --> :41.840
The worst part about it was that we --- the
regular workers, I mean --- were never allowed
:41.840 --> :48.400
to sit down, not even for a second. And we were
working minimum eight hour shifts! If you’ve ever
:48.400 --> :53.600
been on your feet for more than four, five hours
at time, then you know what I’m talking about when
:53.600 --> :58.800 I say that towards the end of those shifts
our legs and feet were burning. But if Ms.
:58.800 --> :03.840
Connie ever caught one of us even leaning against
the counter to try to reduce some of that pain,
:04.480 --> :10.240
she was out of her precious chair in an instant,
yelling and screaming about how “unprofessional”
:10.240 --> :14.880 and “lazy” we were. (I don’t think she
really had a grasp on the concept of irony.) :14.880 --> :19.600
Nasty trait number 2: Incompetence (others might say “Idiocy”)
:19.600 --> :24.240 You would think someone with the gall to sit
in a folding chair all day, barking orders and
:24.240 --> :28.240
screaming about the “right way” to do something,
would at least know what they’re talking about,
:28.240 --> :33.440
right? You know, on a basic, “this is how this
machine works” kind of level? Well, think again,
:33.440 --> :36.800 because Ms. Connie knew nothing
about how the kitchen operated. :36.800 --> :41.360
I remember one time in particular when the
consequences of her incompetence were really
:41.360 --> :47.440
put on full display. It was a Saturday afternoon,
around lunch time, so we were at our absolute peak
:47.440 --> :52.560 hours of busyness. Frankly we were always
busy --- Monday, Saturday, lunch time, :52.560 --> :57.840
dinner time --- it didn’t matter. People were
coming in droves. For whatever reason, though,
:57.840 --> :04.000
this particular Saturday was even busier than
usual. The drive thru line was wrapped two times
:04.000 --> :09.360
around the building, the inside dining area was
filled to the brim with people waiting to order,
:09.360 --> :12.800 and the kitchen --- well,
the kitchen was struggling. :12.800 --> :18.320
On this particular day, I had the great luck of
being the one operating the deep frying machines.
:18.320 --> :23.840
This meant, in essence, that the entire kitchen’s
rate of output was dependent on how fast I
:23.840 --> :29.760 could operate the fryers and push out fresh
chicken. I was frying as fast as I possibly could,
:29.760 --> :35.040 putting down basket after basket of nuggets
and filets, but we were still drowning in
:35.040 --> :40.400
orders. There was just no way to keep up with
the sheer number of people at the restaurant. :40.400 --> :43.840
After about fifteen minutes of trying to remedy the situation
:43.840 --> :49.120 from the comfort of her folding chair, Ms.
Connie suddenly decided that enough was enough
:49.120 --> :53.120 and that she needed to help… by
getting in my ear and yelling at me. :53.120 --> :57.840
“You need to make the fryers go faster!”
she screamed. “This is unacceptable!” :57.840 --> :04.720
Now I had to simultaneously keep the fryers going
and keep up a conversation with my crazy boss.
:04.720 --> :08.960 “They’re going as fast as they possibly
can, Ms. Connie,” I tried to explain. :08.960 --> :11.440
“I’ve got all of them running at max temperature.” :11.440 --> :15.920
“Max temperature? I know they can do
more than that! I’ve done it myself! :15.920 --> :18.240
Set this next batch to a higher setting!” :18.240 --> :21.520
“If I put it on a higher setting, the fryer could break or the ---”
:21.520 --> :23.280 “Stop arguing and do it!”
:23.280 --> :25.280
I knew there was no reasoning with her,
:25.280 --> :31.680 so I reluctantly set a new basket of nuggets
into the oil and clicked the fryer into a higher
:31.680 --> :37.600
setting --- something that Nate had specifically
told me never to do. After about thirty seconds,
:37.600 --> :42.320 the fryer started to make a whining sound,
like it was being strained too hard. :42.320 --> :45.760
“Ms. Connie, I don’t think this is
good for the fryer,” I said. “ I :45.760 --> :48.480
need to put it back down to its normal setting, or it might ---”
:48.480 --> :52.720 “Quit with the backtalk and just cook! I
think I would know better than you, anyway!” :53.280 --> :59.120
Sure enough, though, after another thirty seconds
the fryer suddenly made a loud pop noise and all
:59.120 --> :04.880
the lights on its exterior turned off. I held the
power button down, desperately trying to reset it,
:04.880 --> :11.760
but it was useless --- the fryer was down. And
we still had nearly a hundred orders to fill. :11.760 --> :16.320
Ms. Connie was obviously furious at me.
“I’m not sure what you did to cause this,
:16.320 --> :18.320 but you are in deep trouble!
:18.320 --> :22.720
You better hope that fryer doesn’t need to be
replaced, or it’s coming out of your paycheck!” :22.720 --> :27.440
Fortunately for me (and my paycheck),
the fryer wasn’t permanently broken :27.440 --> :33.280
and didn’t have to be replaced altogether. It
was, however, completely nonfunctional for the
:33.280 --> :39.360 rest of the day, causing our order backlog
that afternoon to become even worse and Ms.
:39.360 --> :44.240 Connie to become even more insufferable
as we struggled to keep up with demand. :44.240 --> :46.000
But wait --- there’s more! :46.000 --> :49.280
Nasty trait number 3: Racism :49.280 --> :54.080
Yes, you read that right. On top of
everything else --- the laziness, :54.080 --> :00.160
the rudeness, the incompetence --- Ms. Connie was also horribly racist.
:00.160 --> :05.040 At first, it was just a couple questionable
statements here and there. Stuff about how
:05.040 --> :10.560 certain customers --- who always happened to
be minorities --- were making her feel unsafe,
:10.560 --> :16.960
or about how a black teenager playing rap music
in the drive thru line was “probably in a gang.” :16.960 --> :20.800
But then it started to get even more
obvious, to the point that there was :20.800 --> :25.200
no way she could deny it. Sometimes she
would be sitting on her folding chair, :25.200 --> :29.360
flipping through a magazine or scrolling
through her phone, and she would suddenly
:29.360 --> :34.960
look up and --- talking to no one in particular
--- say something blatantly offensive like:
:34.960 --> :40.320
“This country was so much better off before we
started caving in to black people’s demands”
:40.320 --> :46.400 or “I just wish I could snap my fingers and
get us back to how it was in the 50s.” Yeah… :46.400 --> :50.960
Luckily no one working in the kitchen was
a minority (in hindsight, I’m not so sure
:50.960 --> :56.160
that was a coincidence), so there was no one she
could outright target with that sort of stuff,
:56.160 --> :02.640 but it was still extremely uncomfortable to
have to listen to her crazed ranting and raving. :02.640 --> :08.800
Anyway, all that to say: working with Ms.
Connie was a nightmare, and truly one of the
:08.800 --> :15.200
worst experiences of my life. By the end of the
summer, I was frustrated and burnt out and done
:15.200 --> :21.680
with anything and everything kitchen, chicken,
and deep fryer related. The one thing I wanted
:21.680 --> :27.280 was to get away from Ms. Connie as quickly
as possible and without so much as a goodbye.
:27.280 --> :32.400 Until, that is, the opportunity to give Ms.
Connie a proper, fitting goodbye presented
:32.400 --> :38.480
itself --- the kind of goodbye that only someone
as horrible as Ms. Connie deserves… Revenge. :38.480 --> :43.680
I hadn’t been planning on trying to get any
sort of payback before I left. Like I said,
:43.680 --> :49.520
by the end of the summer I was just ready to get
as far away from Ms. Connie as humanly possible.
:49.520 --> :52.800 But one night, as Nate and I
were talking in the parking lot :52.800 --> :56.960
after another horrible shift, a plan started to come together…
:56.960 --> :02.640 The conversation started out like any other.
“Well, that was fun,” I said sarcastically.
:02.640 --> :08.320
“I almost wish the restaurant stayed open later,
so I could work another eight hour shift.” :08.320 --> :13.680
Nate laughed. “Yeah, right. I think I’d
literally rather walk on broken glass than
:13.680 --> :18.480 spend another eight hours in that dungeon.”
I laughed back. “Come to think of it, :18.480 --> :23.520
I probably would too.” I paused for a
second. We had almost reached our cars.
:23.520 --> :27.680 “You know, Nate, as terrible as this
summer’s been, I’m glad I was able to :27.680 --> :33.040
meet you. I’m almost sorry to have to leave,
and strand you here all alone with Ms. Crazy.” :33.040 --> :35.840
“Wait a second,” Nate said. “You’re leaving too?” :35.840 --> :39.760
“Too?” I looked at him confused. “Does
that mean you’re leaving soon as well?” :40.640 --> :45.280
“Uh, yeah man, I’m getting the heck out of
here. I’ve already wasted two years at this
:45.280 --> :51.200
stupid place. Surely I can find something better
than this.” He paused. “Friday’s my last day,
:51.200 --> :53.440 and after that, I’m gone.”
:53.440 --> :58.640
“Dang,” I said, “Friday’s my last day too. I guess
that’s just gonna leave Mark and Brandon here.”
:58.640 --> :01.360 (Mark and Brandon were the
two other kitchen workers.) :01.360 --> :03.600
“Guess so,” he said. “Although you know,
:03.600 --> :08.880 Brandon has been talking about quitting
this job so he can do school full time.” :08.880 --> :11.840
“But if Brandon quits, that would just leave ---” I looked
:11.840 --> :15.920 over at Nate to see if he was
thinking the same thing I was. :15.920 --> :21.040
He nodded. “That would just leave one
person here.” He laughed. “And imagine :21.040 --> :27.840
if Mark left too --- it would literally just be
Ms. Connie in the kitchen! She would be screwed!” :27.840 --> :31.600
That’s when it came to me. “Wait,” I
said, “you know how Friday is supposed :31.600 --> :36.160
to be super busy because of that basketball
tournament?” He nodded. “Well,” I continued,
:36.160 --> :42.000 “what if instead of quitting after
Friday, we quit before Friday, :42.000 --> :48.400
and we convince Mark and Brandon to quit too?
Ms. Connie would be by herself in the kitchen,
:48.400 --> :53.280 trying to keep up with the orders on maybe
the busiest day we’ve had this summer!” :53.280 --> :58.080
Nate looked at me, smiling. “I think that
might be the best plan I’ve ever heard.” :58.080 --> :03.120
After that conversation in the parking lot,
all that was left to do was convince Mark and
:03.120 --> :08.320
Brandon to join in our plan. Brandon had been
planning to quit for some time, so he agreed
:08.320 --> :13.840
to the plan almost as soon as we proposed it to
him. Mark was a little bit harder to convince,
:13.840 --> :19.520
but he came around too once we framed it in terms
of finally getting some revenge on Ms. Connie. :19.520 --> :25.200
So the plan was set: after our Thursday shift was
over and Ms. Connie had left the restaurant (she,
:25.200 --> :30.960
naturally, was always the first one to leave),
we would all leave our uniforms in the kitchen,
:30.960 --> :36.320
along with a written note explaining why we had
decided to leave. I took on the responsibility
:36.320 --> :41.920
of drafting the note and went into super lengthy
detail about everything wrong with Ms. Connie,
:41.920 --> :47.520
from her ignorance of how the kitchen worked to
her frequent racist comments. I figured Ms. Connie
:47.520 --> :51.840 would probably find the note and tear it up,
but why not at least try to get her in trouble? :51.840 --> :57.760
When Thursday finally rolled around, everything
went exactly as we had planned. We endured Ms.
:57.760 --> :03.440 Connie’s normal abuse, got through our final
shift, and then, as soon as Ms. Connie had raced
:03.440 --> :08.720
out of the parking lot, left our uniforms and
the note I had written together in the kitchen.
:08.720 --> :14.480 That left just one thing: enjoy the chaos
that was sure to be breaking out soon. :14.480 --> :20.000
The next day, rather than idly sit by and imagine
everything that was going down at the restaurant,
:20.000 --> :23.600 the four of us decided to go at lunch
time and check it out with our own :23.600 --> :27.280
eyes. And boy, were we in for a treat. :27.280 --> :32.320
As soon as we stepped through the doors, we could
tell that our plan had to be working. For one
:32.320 --> :37.280
thing, the line to order food literally stretched
from the front counter to just a few feet in front
:37.280 --> :43.360
of the doors we had just walked through. In the
two and a half months I’d worked here, I had never
:43.360 --> :48.480
seen a line that long --- even on the day that
Ms. Connie had caused the fryer malfunction.
:48.480 --> :54.000 That meant something --- or someone --- had
to be holding up the food in the kitchen. :54.000 --> :57.360
More interested in revenge than ordering a chicken sandwich,
:57.360 --> :01.440
the four of us walked past the line up to the
counter, where you could see the front part
:01.440 --> :06.240
of the kitchen through a little opening in the
dividing barrier. That’s when we saw the sweet,
:06.240 --> :12.880
sweet fruit of our delicious plan for revenge:
for maybe the first time in her entire career,
:12.880 --> :18.640 Ms. Connie was out of her folding chair and
running, back and forth across the kitchen,
:18.640 --> :23.920 with the most frantic, worried expression
I’ve ever seen on someone’s face. :23.920 --> :28.560
It looked like Ms. Connie had gotten one or two
of the employees who usually worked out front
:28.560 --> :32.400 to help her in the kitchen, but I knew
their help would be basically useless :32.400 --> :37.760
since Ms. Connie hardly had any idea how to
work the deep fryers. Sure enough, around
:37.760 --> :42.880
thirty seconds after we had started watching her,
I could sort of make out the sound of Ms. Connie
:42.880 --> :48.000 screaming something to one of the employees
about “I don’t know, just figure it out!” :48.000 --> :52.560
As soon as we heard her yelling, the four
of us began to crack up. Nate turned to me.
:53.280 --> :58.080 “You know, I’d be impressed if she’s even
managed to turn one of the fryers on.” :58.080 --> :03.280
I laughed. “Bet you a million dollars she’s
running them on too high of a setting right now.” :03.280 --> :08.640
After a couple minutes of enjoying Ms. Connie
frantically trying to run the kitchen from afar,
:08.640 --> :12.240 I decided I deserved a closer
look. “Wait here,” I told Nate. :12.240 --> :16.160
I walked past the front counter,
explaining to one of the employees that “I
:16.160 --> :19.360 left something here yesterday that
I need to pick up real quick,” :19.360 --> :23.600
and then made my way into the kitchen.
Ms. Connie spotted me almost as soon as
:23.600 --> :28.160 I stepped through the door, running up to
me with a look of pure hatred on her face. :28.160 --> :31.680
“You idiot!” she screamed. “You were supposed to be here three
:31.680 --> :34.880 hours ago! Where in God’s name have you been?”
:34.880 --> :39.040 “Did you not get the note we left?” I asked.
“It should have explained everything.” :39.040 --> :43.040
“Note? What note?” she yelled. “You know
what, never mind --- it doesn’t matter.
:43.040 --> :47.280 Just put on some gloves and help me with
these fryers --- we’re swamped right now!” :47.280 --> :48.560
“No can do,” I said, :48.560 --> :53.520
as I began to head back towards the exit.
“I was actually just about to be on my way.” :53.520 --> :00.400
“On your way? On your way?! If you step out
that door, you are fired! I mean, done here!” :00.400 --> :04.880
“No need for any of that,” I said as I
opened the door. “I quit.” As I closed :04.880 --> :09.360
the kitchen door behind me, I could hear
the muffled sound of Ms. Connie’s yelling. :09.360 --> :12.960
After that, the four of us decided to
leave, having seen what we had come :12.960 --> :18.560
to the restaurant to see, plus a little more.
In the parking lot we had a sort of impromptu
:18.560 --> :23.840 victory celebration, letting out a few
celebratory cheers and sharing a couple
:23.840 --> :27.840 “f you Ms. Connie” high fives.
Then we all said our goodbyes, :27.840 --> :34.320
shook hands, and drove away in our respective
cars. The job was done. Victory had been won. :34.320 --> :39.120
I thought that was going to be the end of
the situation, but a week after that Friday,
:39.120 --> :40.720 Nate called me out of the blue.
:40.720 --> :43.200
“Dude,” he said when I picked up the phone,
:43.200 --> :46.320 “did you hear about what happened
to Ms. Connie after we left?” :46.320 --> :52.000
I told him I hadn’t, so he proceeded to fill me --- and man, was it good.
:52.000 --> :55.520 Apparently at some point after we
had left the restaurant that day, :55.520 --> :00.880
Mr. Carlson --- the franchise owner --- had
shown up, presumably after being told there
:00.880 --> :05.600 was some sort of problem with the kitchen
staff and ridiculously long lines for food.
:05.600 --> :10.560
When he got there, he obviously went straight to
the kitchen to see what the problem was, only to
:10.560 --> :15.600 find Ms. Connie --- along with two employees
who didn’t work in the kitchen --- attempting
:15.600 --> :20.240 to operate frying machines that none of
the three of them knew how to use at all. :20.240 --> :22.560
As if that wasn’t bad enough for Ms. Connie,
:22.560 --> :27.840 Mr. Carlson then found the uniforms and the
note we had left there the night before.
:27.840 --> :32.480 (Apparently in all of her frantic running
around and trying to operate the fryers,
:32.480 --> :37.520
Ms. Connie had never paused long enough to see
the note and get to it before someone else.)
:37.520 --> :43.680
Having read the note, Mr. Carlson then obviously
proceeded to fire Ms. Connie, which he could do
:43.680 --> :50.000
without severance pay because of the details I had
graciously provided in our little farewell letter. :50.000 --> :52.560
When Nate told me that part, I couldn’t help but
:52.560 --> :56.400 laugh. “Sounds like we really
got the best of Ms. Crazy, then.” :56.400 --> :01.360
He agreed. “And apparently, after Mr.
Carlson fired her, Ms. Connie started :01.360 --> :07.120
to just go absolutely ballistic, too. Like
screaming at everyone, cursing up a storm,
:07.120 --> :11.680 yelling about ‘lawsuit this’ and ‘lawsuit
that.’ Someone who was working at the :11.680 --> :16.080
front counter said people could hear her all the way in the dining area.”
:16.080 --> :20.960 I laughed. Now that was the Ms.
Connie I had had the distinct :20.960 --> :24.000
displeasure of getting to know that summer. :24.000 --> :28.000
After that, I never did hear anything
else about what happened to Ms. Connie.
:28.000 --> :32.000 If I had to guess, I would say
she’s probably back to incompetently :32.000 --> :38.160
managing fast food franchises and terrorizing
poor teenage employees trying to make a buck
:38.160 --> :41.840
over the summer. That always was the one thing she was any good at. | give me a good story on rProRevengeIGotMyEvilFastFoodBossFIREDRedditStories |

:20.880 --> :26.340
What is family? Well… for a while, I thought that
family was everything. They are the ones you turn
:26.340 --> :31.260
to when everyone else turns their back on you.
When the world says NO, they are the ones that
:31.260 --> :36.240
open their arms to you with a big YES. when you
are at your lowest lows, they are the ones that
:36.240 --> :43.740
bring you back up. Aww… that sounds good, and I
know lots of us want that. But the reality is far
:43.740 --> :49.980
from this. Especially when you have stepfamily.
My stepbrother completely humiliated me in school,
:49.980 --> :57.000
by telling everyone my deepest darkest secret.
A secret he swore to take to his grave. But not
:57.000 --> :01.620 to worry. I dealt with him in a way that
he’ll never forget. But first… details. :01.620 --> :06.960
My mom and dad had a bad divorce a few years
ago. They’ve been having issues back to back
:06.960 --> :11.940
for a long time, always having to go for marriage
counseling and stuff. I wasn’t really surprised
:11.940 --> :17.700
that they eventually ended it. What surprised me
was the circumstances leading to the end. My dad
:17.700 --> :22.440
caught her banging another dude in our house. I
had gone to school then, so I didn't get the full
:22.440 --> :28.440
details. But I know that the day before, my dad
had publicly announced at the dinner table that
:28.440 --> :33.360
he was gonna travel for a business trip the next
day. He even had my mom drive him to the airport.
:33.360 --> :39.660
But once my mom left, he turned around and went to
a motel, then snuck back home. Turns out that he
:39.660 --> :44.160 had already known that mom was cheating on
him, and he wanted to catch them in the act.
:44.160 --> :49.740
The dude mom was banging was some chiropractor or
something. That’s funny because I never thought
:49.740 --> :55.320
mom was into chiropractic. Anyways, they had a
huge fight that day, and mom left the house. Dad
:55.320 --> :01.260
sent her the divorce papers the next day. The
whole divorce procedure was finalized in two
:01.260 --> :07.140
months. Mom tried to gain custody of me, and that
part of the divorce was messy, but when it fell to
:07.140 --> :12.240
me to decide who I wanted to stay with, I chose
my dad. I was angry at the time, because of the
:12.240 --> :17.820
whole… “mom’s a cheater” tune I still had, ringing
in my head at the time. (but the truth was that
:17.820 --> :23.520
I didn’t know the whole story, because dad was
careful about his escapades. But mom found out,
:23.520 --> :29.040
and that was why she tried to retaliate… I guess)
anyways… I should have chosen to live with my mom. :29.040 --> :35.040
A few weeks after the divorce, a strange woman
started to visit the house more and more. I knew
:35.040 --> :39.600 her as the real estate agent, that sold the
house to mom and dad, and when she started to
:39.600 --> :45.060
come around often, I was under the impression
that dad wanted to sell the house. That made
:45.060 --> :49.020 sense. He didnt want to keep the house that
had the memories of mom’s cheating right? :49.020 --> :52.260
Wrong! A few weeks later, she started to sleep over,
:52.260 --> :57.780
and that was when I knew that she hadn’t come to
sell the house. Dad just had a divorce with his
:57.780 --> :02.400 wife less than two months ago, and another
woman is already sleeping over. It looks
:02.400 --> :07.380 like dad wasn’t completely innocent after all.
Anyways, a few days later at the breakfast table,
:07.380 --> :13.680 dad made some (really really bad) pancakes,
then announced to me that he was gonna marry
:13.680 --> :19.200
the real estate agent, and she was gonna be my
stepmom. I was mad at him, because it became
:19.200 --> :24.060
evident that he had been seeing the real estate
even while he was married to mom, and the whole
:24.060 --> :29.520
divorce was his fault. I didnt really have much
of a say in the matter, so I just went with it.
:29.520 --> :34.140
One day, a few weeks into their marriage, the
real estate agent came to visit. But she didnt
:34.140 --> :39.060 come alone. She came with her son CJ.
CJ was a junior in my high school, :39.060 --> :44.040
where I was a freshman. He had a big build and
was a wide receiver for the school football
:44.040 --> :51.420
team. The girls loved him because he was really
handsome. Brown hair, hazel eyes, a chiseled jaw,
:51.420 --> :56.160 and perfect teeth… the works. I would have
liked him too if he wasn't such a jerk to
:56.160 --> :02.100
me in school. I was a typical science nerd and
an ideal victim for all his bullying. He steals
:02.100 --> :06.960
my lunch money and gives me wedgies anytime he
could. It was horrible. And now he was being
:06.960 --> :14.220
introduced to me as my future older stepbrother?
I erupted. I yelled and begged my dad not to go
:14.220 --> :18.540 through with the wedding. I told him all the
horrors I've had to endure in school with CJ,
:18.540 --> :24.960
and how I can’t have those horrors follow me into
my home. My safezone. I even threatened to go and
:24.960 --> :29.820
live with mom, if he was gonna go through with
the wedding. Then a few days later, CJ and his
:29.820 --> :35.760
mom came back again. He apologized profusely for
all the terrible things that he had done to me in
:35.760 --> :41.580
school. He even told me things I wanted to hear,
about how much of a jerk he was, and that he was
:41.580 --> :47.580
only bullying me because he felt insecure about
a lot of things. I forgave him instantly (because
:47.580 --> :53.760 I was a stupid kid, who gets played easily).
Well CJ stopped the bullying at the time. We
:53.760 --> :58.440
walked to school together, talked about girls,
and he even introduced me to some of his friends
:58.440 --> :04.020
on the football team. I was in too deep, that
I couldn't see the ruse. After the wedding,
:04.020 --> :10.020
CJ returned to his normal self. With the bullying
and everything else. I tried to tell my dad and my
:10.020 --> :15.480
new stepmom about it, but they didnt do anything
to help me. Nothing changed. It got even worse,
:15.480 --> :20.580 because he bullied me at school, and at
home. By the time I got to sophomore year,
:20.580 --> :25.980
and he was in senior year, I was happy, because
in one year, he’ll be done with high school,
:25.980 --> :31.860
and off to college, so I could enjoy the rest
of my school years in peace. Throughout all the
:31.860 --> :36.900
bullying, there was nothing much I could do, but
rant about it in my journal. (And no, It's not a
:36.900 --> :41.940
diary… it's a journal! I write things I don't want
to forget, or don't want to tell anyone in it)
:41.940 --> :47.340
One day, CJ decided to kick his bullying up a
notch. He came into my room and asked to borrow
:47.340 --> :52.680
twenty dollars. When I told him I didn’t have it,
he went back to his room. I went downstairs to
:52.680 --> :57.420
get some snacks a few minutes later, and he went
into my room again. (probably to steal my money
:57.420 --> :03.360
or something.) during his search, he found my
journal in my closet. When I came back to my room,
:03.360 --> :08.220
I couldn’t find the journal, and I immediately
knew what had happened. I hurried to his room
:08.220 --> :13.560
and begged him to give me back my journal he said
he would return it if I gave him fifty bucks. I
:13.560 --> :19.380
had only fifty-seven dollars and seventy-two cents
to my name at the time, but I gave him the fifty
:19.380 --> :25.080
bucks. He returned my journal to me, and I thought
that was the end of it. Unknown to me, CJ had
:25.080 --> :30.840
already taken photos of the notes in my journal.
The next day, he decided to read it to the whole
:30.840 --> :36.360
school during lunch break. I felt horrified when I
saw him climb the table, and announce that he had
:36.360 --> :40.980
something juicy he’d like the school to listen
to. He pulled out his phone from his jacket,
:40.980 --> :46.200
and read out some of my most embarrassing secrets,
leaving out all the parts where I wrote about the
:46.200 --> :51.360
bullying. The whole school laughed, and I was so
embarrassed. I told my dad about it one more time,
:51.360 --> :57.120
but once again, he didn't lift a finger. During
fall break, I decided to leave town to go to my
:57.120 --> :02.640 mom's. I needed some time away from home to
reflect and just… you know build back some
:02.640 --> :07.620
normalcy in my life. My mom was staying with a
boyfriend named Mark. he was a professor at the
:07.620 --> :13.920
local university. He was also a science nerd, and
we hit it off immediately. We did some experiments
:13.920 --> :20.160
together, and he even let me work on his ford
raptor F-150. It was fun, and I instantly started
:20.160 --> :25.140
to regret not choosing to live with my mom. Mark
had a son, who was a year older than me. His name
:25.140 --> :30.960
is McKay We stayed up one night talking about
family and school and stuff. I told him about CJ
:30.960 --> :36.900
and how he bullies me. McKay told me to hit him up
if CJ gave me any more trouble. I simply nodded.
:36.900 --> :42.480 I had to go back home a few days later, for
school, and all the hells that come with it. The
:42.480 --> :48.300
problems with CJ only got worse. It was as though
he was out looking for new ways to embarrass me.
:48.300 --> :54.000 He started sneaking into my room more often,
going through my stuff, looking for… something.
:54.000 --> :01.560
It was crazy! I wasn’t at ease in my own house.
I couldn't do… things I wanted to do in private
:01.560 --> :06.600
because I was always scared that CJ might be out
there watching. One night when I couldn’t hold it
:06.600 --> :12.900
anymore, I said goodbye to my dad and stepmom
after dinner, and went upstairs to “sleep.”
:12.900 --> :18.180
I made sure to walk past CJ’s room to make sure
he was asleep. I pressed my ear to his door,
:18.180 --> :23.460 and when I couldn’t hear anything, I decided
that he had gone to bed. I hurried into my room,
:23.460 --> :28.260 to get my lotion, then I walked into
my bathroom to… you know… do me. :28.260 --> :35.520
And then the worst thing happened… I forgot
to lock my bathroom door. I was deep into… you
:35.520 --> :42.540
know… when I heard someone snickering behind me.
I turned around sharply and saw CJ standing behind
:42.540 --> :49.200
me with his phone, recording me as I jerked off.
I was completely mortified. I went on my knees and
:49.200 --> :55.620
begged him to delete the video. He said okay, but
I’d have to pay him first. I did. I gave him all
:55.620 --> :00.480
the money I was saving for a new gaming setup,
which was one hundred and twenty-two dollars
:00.480 --> :06.600
at the time. He deleted the video in my presence,
and for a while, I thought I was safe, until a few
:06.600 --> :13.080
days later, all the students received a broadcast
message during lunch. I checked my phone,
:13.080 --> :19.800
and there I was, in my bathroom, with my pants
down… (you know the rest.) I almost choked on my
:19.800 --> :25.680
cheeseburger, as I watched myself going at it. A
burst of Loud laughter erupted in the cafeteria,
:25.680 --> :30.000
as the students pointed at me as they watched
the video. I took one look at the sender,
:30.000 --> :36.000
and it was CJ. I couldn’t hold back the tears that
fell from my eyes. I ran out of the cafeteria,
:36.000 --> :41.400
into the hallway, then grabbed my bag from my
locker then went home. I didn’t bother to tell
:41.400 --> :46.080
my dad because it was way too embarrassing to
talk about, and I knew that he wasn’t going to
:46.080 --> :51.840
do anything about it. I kept it to myself, and
I didn’t go to school for a few days. I claimed
:51.840 --> :56.700
that I had the flu. When my dad tried to make me
go to school, I took a bus and went back to my
:56.700 --> :02.880
mom’s. I told McKay what happened, and he told me
not to lay low anymore. CJ wasn’t gonna stop if I
:02.880 --> :09.000
didn’t do anything. He said it was time for me to
go on the offense, and he was going to help me. I
:09.000 --> :14.280
went home a few days later, and I behaved like
I was okay. CJ came to my room that night and
:14.280 --> :20.100
apologized for humiliating me in school. He told
me it won't happen again. I told him it was fine,
:20.100 --> :25.740
and that I had forgiven him. But in truth, I was
biding my time. I started to hang out more with
:25.740 --> :30.180 him, to get a feel of what he was passionate
about. One night, we hung out on the porch,
:30.180 --> :35.400
and he talked about college, and how excited he
was to go. He had just been scouted by one of the
:35.400 --> :41.400
schools on his wishlist. All he had to do was keep
his grades up, so he could go. I smiled to myself.
:41.400 --> :47.160
I knew how to get my revenge. I texted McKay later
that night, and I told him how I would like to get
:47.160 --> :53.580
my revenge. I’m gonna make CJ fail his exams. That
weekend, I went to Mark’s to talk to McKay. We
:53.580 --> :59.760
brainstormed ideas on how to sabotage his exams.
At first, we wanted to hack into the school system
:59.760 --> :05.280
to change his grades after the exams, but that
was too risky. The school board might find out,
:05.280 --> :11.280
and I could get suspended… or worse. We decided
to make it look like he was cheating instead.
:11.280 --> :17.460
Firstly, I had to get his examination schedule,
then I had to buy a new smartphone. Then the day
:17.460 --> :22.680
before his chemistry exams, I compiled a list
of answers I got from a twelfth-grade textbook,
:22.680 --> :28.020
and I wrote them in two papers. I also compiled
some answers to the math exam he had done the
:28.020 --> :33.780 day before. Then I snuck back to school that
evening and used a piece of chewing gum to
:33.780 --> :38.700 stick the sheets under his desk. I used some
glue to stick the smartphone under his desk,
:39.300 --> :45.540
then I left. The next day, during his exams, I
left my class to “pee”, and I walked past his
:45.540 --> :51.060
examination hall. The students were all busy with
their examinations, and I saw him at the far end
:51.060 --> :56.880
of the room, scribbling furiously on his answer
sheet. I reached for my phone from my pocket,
:56.880 --> :03.360
then dialed the number of the phone under his
desk. All eyes turned to CJ as the phone began
:03.360 --> :08.580
ringing under his desk. The invigilator walked
over to him and removed the phone from under his
:08.580 --> :16.020
desk. She also retrieved the papers which looked
like answers to the exam questions. CJ strongly
:16.020 --> :21.600
denied having anything to do with the phone, or
the papers, but since he couldn’t prove it, the
:21.600 --> :26.280
invigilator walked him out of the exam hall. I had
to rush into the restroom, so they wouldn’t see me
:26.280 --> :32.580
as they walked into the hallway. The next day, my
dad and his mom were called and CJ was suspended.
:32.580 --> :41.040
He had to redo his final year, and his scholarship
was revoked. I have never seen CJ cry until that
:41.040 --> :46.620
day. Funny how I didn’t feel any guilt. He had it
coming. Anyways after the end of that school year,
:46.620 --> :52.560
I decided to go and live with my mom and her new
family, and I have to say… life has been good. :52.560 --> :45.360
Back in High School one of my best friends
suddenly started sneaking around, I suspected
:45.360 --> :45.960
something was up and I found out she was dating my
brother. They had been dating secretly for months!
:47.760 --> :53.820
My friends and I had been best friends for a long
time, I met the first in school and the second was
:53.820 --> :59.220
my neighbor, we have been very close ever since.
We did everything together and told each other
:59.220 --> :05.340
everything. My second best friend was particularly
closer to me because she was closer in proximity,
:05.340 --> :08.940 she lived in the house next to ours and
her family is friends with my family, :08.940 --> :14.520
that was because her father and my dad taught in
the same university. My other friend lived closer
:14.520 --> :19.140 to school so we would go to her house after
school every other day for snacks and drinks,
:19.140 --> :24.480
and then go to my second best friend’s house.
She did not live close to us but she practically
:24.480 --> :29.580
lived in my second best friend’s house. It was
more convenient since my second best friend is
:29.580 --> :34.920
an only child and they had enough room in their
home. I, on the other hand, had three brothers and
:34.920 --> :41.640
the house was always full. Naturally, we hung out
at my second best friend’s house all the time but
:41.640 --> :45.780
sometimes, we hung out at mine, occasionally,
we hung out at my first best friend’s house
:45.780 --> :50.820 but that was usually when we had a special
party in school or school project to work on.
:50.820 --> :56.280
I was thirteen when I started hair styling. My
grandmother was a hairstylist so she taught me
:56.280 --> :01.080
how to style and cut hair too. Growing up, we had
a little salon in my first best friend’s house.
:01.080 --> :06.120
Girls from school would make their parents bring
them to the house so I would style their hair,
:06.120 --> :11.100 and I always did a good job. My friends and
I were always rocking great hairstyles anyway
:11.100 --> :16.560 so many girls wanted to look as good as we did.
We had to shut down our little hair salon because
:16.560 --> :22.860
my mom was upset about how I already had a job
at fourteen. My dad also worried that my grades
:22.860 --> :28.260
would go low so that was why my best friends and I
packed up our one-month-old salon. I never stopped
:28.260 --> :32.820 styling hair though, I cut my mom’s hair and
that of two of my brothers. My older brother
:32.820 --> :36.900 never let me cut his hair even though he’s
seen that I did a good job with my brother’s
:36.900 --> :42.960
hair. I guess he didn’t want me to be as mean
to him as he was to me all my life. My brother,
:42.960 --> :49.560
like most brothers, was annoying. He teased me to
no end and would frequently rat me out to my mom,
:49.560 --> :55.020
I did not like him growing up and I made sure
my friends did not like him too. We would not
:55.020 --> :58.800 speak to him whenever he tried to talk to
us or get involved in our conversations.It
:59.640 --> :04.560 was not that I hated my brother or that he
was an asshole, we had good times and he
:04.560 --> :09.000
was a very supportive guy but he would do the
most annoying thing right after helping with
:09.000 --> :16.020 my assignments or helping me take my medicine .
I had no idea my best friend and my brother were
:16.020 --> :22.140
dating, I never even suspected that they could
be together. Not even once. She, like me, always
:22.140 --> :27.660
thought he was gross and geeky. We even made fun
of his beards together. If anyone had asked me
:27.660 --> :31.860
which of my best friends I thought my brothers
would date, I would have said it was most likely
:31.860 --> :37.140
to be my first best friend. My first best friend
would let my brother bore us with his botany
:37.140 --> :42.960
talk and boring science theories. She once said
that he was even kinda cool. When she said that,
:42.960 --> :49.440
my second best friend and I rolled our eyes at
her. “Yeah, he’s so cool, he wants to talk about
:49.440 --> :56.040 trees and flowers from”, I had said sarcastically.
“And where plants get their air from and what a
:56.040 --> :02.220
banana tree looks like'', my second best friend
added. She also once said he was cute. It was when
:02.220 --> :06.480
my brother’s article about plants was featured
in the school’s magazine and his picture was
:06.480 --> :12.060
on it. “Wow, you know, your brother is cute”,
she said. As usual, we rolled our eyes at her.
:12.060 --> :16.200 See? I had even thought at the time that
my first best friend probably liked him
:16.200 --> :20.760 but she started dating a popular guy in
school so I knew there was no way she :20.760 --> :25.140
was interested in dating my nerdy brother.
Shortly after my second best friend and her
:25.140 --> :30.540
boyfriend broke up, she started acting different
and weird. I figured it was because she was not
:30.540 --> :35.070 over her breakup. She and her ex-boyfriend
had been together for a short while but she
:35.070 --> :39.420 had liked him for a longer time and she did
not get to enjoy their relationship because
:39.420 --> :43.920 his family had to move to another state just
after they had started dating. They broke up
:43.920 --> :48.360 not long after he moved because they could
not sustain a long-distance relationship. :48.360 --> :53.340
I noticed how she would spend time all by
herself and whenever I asked her where she was,
:53.340 --> :58.560 she would say she was reading a book
or some other strange excuse. Get this,
:58.560 --> :04.920 my second best friend NEVER just read books.
My first best friend was more of the reader. :04.920 --> :10.500
My suspicion that something was going on grew when
one day I was standing in the garden in front of
:10.500 --> :15.300 my house and I saw my best friend all dressed up.
I walked over to compliment her :15.300 --> :19.380
dress and ask where she was going.
“Oh I’m hanging out with some friends”, she said.
:19.380 --> :23.940 “What friends?” I asked. I didn’t
know any other friends she had. She :23.940 --> :28.080
did not even make friends easily, she was
close to her mom and us and that was it. :28.080 --> :31.200
“Oh they don’t go to our school, you don’t know them”
:31.200 --> :34.800 I did not believe her but I
didn’t ask any further questions. :34.800 --> :39.360
When I got back in, I asked my other first
best friend if our friend had told her about
:39.360 --> :44.880 going out with any friends and she said not.
“Maybe she was going out with her cousins”
:44.880 --> :49.800 she offered and changed the topic. I’m sure
she did not understand why I was so puzzled
:49.800 --> :54.720 and did not think it was a serious issue.
I suspected something some other time when
:54.720 --> :59.460 my second best friend was in my room, trying
out new pieces of jewelry with me. We were
:59.460 --> :05.160 talking about seeing a movie and I suggested
a recent movie. “No, I saw it some days ago,
:05.160 --> :10.860 let’s watch something none of us has seen before”
“You went to the movies some days ago?” I asked
:10.860 --> :12.600 “Yes” “Really, with whom?”
:13.500 --> :16.080 “No one, I went alone” “You went alone?”
:17.160 --> :21.180 “Sometimes people like to go out and be
by themselves, is that such a bad thing?” :21.960 --> :26.700
“No, but it is so unlike you” I turned to my
first best friend. “Isn’t that different?” :27.660 --> :33.240
“Yeah kinda. This breakup is changing things
for you”, she said and pulled my second best
:33.240 --> :38.940 friend’s cheeks. I was not convinced that my
friend went alone but I had to shut up about it,
:38.940 --> :43.560 lest they start to wonder if I’m crazy.
Her weird disappearance continued, :43.560 --> :47.820
even at a carnival, her parents were
looking around for her, and she would :47.820 --> :53.520
appear and reappear again. It was weird. I asked
my first best friend if she did not think it was
:53.520 --> :59.460 strange that our friend was missing in action.
“I honestly have not noticed. I think you notice
:59.460 --> :02.400 more because you live close to each other”
“I guess” :03.480 --> :07.500
“Don’t worry, she’s fine. I don’t think
she’s that shaken up by the breakup, :07.500 --> :12.540
she looks more beautiful and happier of late”
I shook my head. “No, it’s not that I don’t
:12.540 --> :17.100 think she’s fine. Do you think maybe she has
a secret boyfriend that we don’t know about?”
:18.120 --> :21.840 “Of course not, why would she hide her
boyfriend? It’s not like she would date
:21.840 --> :26.760 some creep that she would need to hide from us.
I agreed and we enjoyed the rest of the carnival.
:26.760 --> :31.380 My mom soon started asking my brother about
his new girlfriend. He had asked for some
:31.380 --> :34.680 money from the money he was saving
with her to take his girlfriend out. :34.680 --> :39.840
“We want to meet her”, my mom said.
I rolled my eyes and my dad tapped me to stop.
:39.840 --> :43.800 “When are we all going to just admit to
ourselves that he does not have a girlfriend?”
:43.800 --> :49.200 “I do have a girlfriend”, he said
“He does have a girlfriend”, my mom affirmed.
:49.920 --> :52.680 “Yeah, in his head”
My younger brother laughed :52.680 --> :56.940
and said “I think he has a girlfriend”
“I think I have a pony in the backyard :56.940 --> :00.300
and a boat”, I replied. My brothers laughed. :00.300 --> :04.140
“Don’t make fun of my baby” my mom chided us and we stopped.
:04.140 --> :09.480
I could have wondered if my brother and my second
best friend were together. Maybe he was her secret
:09.480 --> :15.000
boyfriend and my brother’s girlfriend was not
imaginary but that did not even occur to me at
:15.000 --> :19.560 all. I just could not picture them together.
I did not find out they were together until
:19.560 --> :24.840
one day when I was leaving for the dog shelter
where I was volunteering. I saw my brother’s car
:24.840 --> :30.000
parked just in front of my best friend’s house.
They could not see me because I was standing in
:30.000 --> :34.620
the garden and the bushes covered me. My second
best friend was sitting in the passenger’s seat
:34.620 --> :39.960 and my brother in the driver’s seat and they
were kissing. They were so engrossed in it,
:39.960 --> :44.580 I had to look away. Soon after they stopped
and my best friend came down from his car
:44.580 --> :49.380 and walked briskly into her house. My
brother drove forward. He was supposed :49.380 --> :54.780
to be at the library writing a new article.
I was so shocked by what I had seen that I
:54.780 --> :59.460
was very disconnected from the animal shelter.
I kept wondering why they would hide it from
:59.460 --> :03.780 me. Also some years back, her cousin came
over to her house and stayed with them for
:03.780 --> :09.720
a full year. I had a huge crush on the guy and
asked if I could ask him out but she said no.
:09.720 --> :13.980 “That would be weird dating my cousin
plus he would be gone soon anyway” :13.980 --> :20.460
I agreed and never contested that but she
was dating my brother. What a hypocrite! :20.460 --> :23.520
I asked my mom about my brother’s girlfriend when I got home.
:23.520 --> :28.020 “I guess he’s been seeing her for some
months now. Your brother is smitten :28.020 --> :31.740
by her but he wants to introduce her to us when the time is right”
:32.460 --> :35.340 “Are you not bothered that you
don’t know who your son is dating?” :36.180 --> :40.500
“Not really, he would be asking her to prom
anyway so I guess we will all meet her then”.
:40.500 --> :45.840
I was offended that my brother and best friend
had kept their relationship away from me but
:45.840 --> :50.400 were even madder at my friend because she
had stopped me from dating her cousin. :50.400 --> :54.060
My brother was still away so I sneaked
into his room and checked his computer :54.060 --> :58.200
to see if I could get more details.
I saw that they had been texting each :58.200 --> :02.940
other. In their texts, she told him she wanted
to tell me that they were dating but he asked
:02.940 --> :07.200 that she wait. “You said you wanted prom to
be perfect for you,” he said. “Why not wait
:07.200 --> :10.020 until after prom to tell her?”
“She would figure something is :10.020 --> :13.920
going on if I go to Prom as your date”
“We would find a way to go together. :13.920 --> :18.780
You don't have to be my girlfriend to go to
prom with me as my date” was his response.
:18.780 --> :23.700 I felt uncomfortable reading their chats
so shut his computer and left for my room. :23.700 --> :27.660
It was prom season and some of the
seniors in school were already asking :27.660 --> :31.680
me to help do their hair. When I told
my best friends about it, they pouted. :31.680 --> :36.600
“You can style all the girls in school but we
are a priority”, my second best friend said. :36.600 --> :41.940
“Of course, you need a haircut anyway”, I said
“Yes,” she ran her hand through her hair. :41.940 --> :45.360
“I’m getting a haircut too!” my first best friend exclaimed.
:45.360 --> :50.760 I laughed “Everybody gets a haircut”
I cut my first best friend's hair first and
:50.760 --> :57.000 it came out nice, everyone complimented her hair.
My second best friend wanted a haircut too and she
:57.000 --> :01.440
wanted something similar to what I had done for
our friend. She had a picture of the hair she
:01.440 --> :05.940
wanted and she brought it along with her when she
came over to get her hair cut. I knew she would
:05.940 --> :11.400
see what I was doing if we sat close to the mirror
so I made sure she sat on my bed while I cut her
:11.400 --> :16.500
hair. When I kept cutting her hair, she asked if
that was not enough but I kept telling her no,
:16.500 --> :21.540 I had it all under control, I assured her.
She could not touch me because she knew how
:21.540 --> :27.000
that upset me. I hated it when I was cutting or
styling someone's hair and they interrupted me
:27.000 --> :33.240
by repeatedly touching their hair. When I was
done, she walked to my mirror and screamed. :33.240 --> :37.440
I was scared she would attack me, she
was a bit smaller than I was but I had :37.440 --> :43.260
seen her fight many times, she was a feisty
fighter. I ran downstairs to my brothers. :43.260 --> :48.840
She chased me screaming. When she got to
the living room, she burst into tears. My
:48.840 --> :52.260 brothers paused the video game they were
watching and stared at her in horror. :52.260 --> :55.860
"What the fuck did you do?!" My older brother said lividly.
:55.860 --> :01.440
"I know you two have been dating secretly," I
said triumphantly, still breathing hard from
:01.440 --> :04.020 all the running I had done.
"So you give her a :04.020 --> :09.480
terrible haircut, are you crazy?!"
My brother was livid. So was my entire family
:09.480 --> :15.600
and my best friend's family. Our other best friend
was mad at me too. For two weeks, they all avoided
:15.600 --> :20.580
me. Nobody understood why I was mad. They just
chalked it up to being mad that my best friend
:20.580 --> :25.440 was dating my brother but it was beyond that.
She had prevented me from going out with her
:25.440 --> :28.800 cousin and kept talking about how
it would be awkward and all that :28.800 --> :33.840
only for her to go on and date my brother.
I didn't care that everyone was mad at me,
:33.840 --> :39.000 I had done what I wanted so I was not bothered.
Her mother took her to a salon and the :39.000 --> :42.660
hairdresser managed to make what's left of her hair a pixie haircut.
:42.660 --> :48.540 We never moved on from that, my friend and
brother kept dating but she avoided me for a
:48.540 --> :53.160
very long time. Even when she started speaking
to me, she didn't want to be friends. | give me a good story on rNuclearRevengeSCREWMYBROTHERILLRUINYOURPROMRedditStoriesen |

knowledge think women in bikinis sunbathing on the beach yes I understand
how disgusting and borderline illegal this is I've told them time and time
again how this is inappropriate and how he needs to stop but he won't stop he
Revels in the reaction he gets online from these posts every like View and
follow we've had so many yelling matches about this I've lost count I've
repeatedly used my own account to report his posts especially those of
unsuspecting women to hopefully have them taken down he recently asked me to
help him fix something on his phone I noticed he had his Facebook app open and
was in the middle of posting another photo so I told him I needed to consult
something on my laptop and walked away I proceeded to privatize all of his
accounts delete a bunch of photos and modified his profile settings so that no
one could see his past and future posts I then closed the apps fixed whatever he
wanted me to do and returned the phone to him like nothing ever happened I'm
not sure how long this will stick before he realizes and changes his settings
back he's not the most tech savvy so I'm hoping you'll spend a good long time
confused about why no one is liking his crap if they're not tech savvy you
probably shut them down for a while but I think it goes without saying that
you'd like to see a more permanent end to this creeper catalog also hi I'm
Steven and if you enjoy awesome stories of Revenge why not hit that subscribe
button down below that said our next story is won't give me my personal space
enjoy this airdrop so I was reminded of this recently as my mother-in-law for
Christmas got us tickets to Disneyland It's 2017 and personal space wasn't as
big of a deal like it is today we were with family at Disneyland close and
extended my oldest was seven if you've been to Disneyland then you'll know
there's a Buzz Lightyear ride right by the space Rockets it was taking forever
to move in the line lots of kids in our group wanted to ride the light year ride
and not a single kid could go solo so as
parents we had to suffer the weight with them we got to the point where we
weren't moving and my oldest wanted to ride the Rockets we could see them from
our place in line the wait for the Rockets was as long as it took the
previous Riders to get off more or less tired of waiting the oldest and I jumped
out of the light year line and stood for
the Rockets there was maybe a half dozen people in front of us and they just
loaded the Rockets So we had a little weight behind us comes along a mom and
her daughter this girl was younger than my kid but not by much again it's 2017
and apparently personal space has not been introduced to this Duo at this time
2020 was probably very hard for them now what I haven't mentioned is that I was
on my period And I tend to be a bit gassy when I am I was basically waiting
to get on this ride and drop a silent but deadly in the air it would get
dispersed midair as we Whirled away no one needed to suffer this mom and
daughter kept stepping closer to us their fronts pressed against our backs
we would take a step forward to put more space and they'd scoot in more her
daughter started to dance in front of us between US just generally not being
minded they weren't in danger of not making the next load of passengers I
don't know why they insisted on doing this I got the feeling that the mom was
trying to use her kid to cut in front oh
my child's in front of you now I'll just get in front of you instead day we had
seen it happen in a few other lines earlier that day I turned around and
politely asked them to not crowd us to give us some personal space also for the
sake of their noses if they bumped me my chamber was a loaded and just waiting
just to take a step back the people behind them had given them enough room
to do so the mother proceeded to snap that it didn't matter it was crowded the
park maybe this ride no and so on just generally being a jerk about the whole
thing I asked her to keep her daughter with her then gave the excuse that if
she fell she could get hurt this she obliged with much murmuring I decided
the next time they got too close I'd let my silent but deadly fart loose because
that's the kind I get on my period so I made sure my kids stayed in front of me
no unnecessary casualties needed didn't have to wait long felt them push into my
back one last time and the package was dropped what I didn't know was it was
the daughter who bumped me and her face was the same height as my derriere so I
let it go this little girl went ew and then the mom made a noise when she got a
whiff of it needless to say they took more than a few steps back and found a
rocket to ride on the opposite side from us I think what op did here would be
considered legally using a civilian's grade bio weapon honestly Justified
though this next story is claim my music is yours have fun trying to remake it I
met my roommate in college five years ago we were both going for Studio
engineering and music production we became great friends Almost instantly we
would often share beats with one another and also collaborate on some projects
together at one point we were marketing ourselves as a Duo for music production
we were trying to get noticed by more famous artists in our area we made trap
and R B beats some local artists have used our beats but no one major here's a
a quick side note whenever we would send out beats we would send them.wave files
and it would always be in a loop never the complete beat never the actual
project file this protected us from thieves during the holidays I went home
and he stayed behind I sent him over a loop and a wave file a few hours I'm on
Snapchat and he's in the studio with a local artist laying my loop at first I'm
super stoked I try to FaceTime my roommate and he doesn't answer he just
sends me a message saying send over the project file I tried to FaceTime him
again and he doesn't answer right away I
know what he's trying to do so instead I go over to the local artist's Instagram
and check his story it's him in the studio with my roommate and the artist
says yeah I'm here in the studio about to hop on this track to my man insert my
roommate's name made now I'm livid I tried calling my roommate again he
answers and my first question was why is he say saying that's your beat my
roommate just says you know how it is man just send over the project file so I
can arrange it for him he's ready to go right now I hang up and never send the
file over he calls me over 20 times then he sent me a message saying that's
messed up that could have been our big break you know he knows people in
Atlanta and New York City I was gonna tell him it wasn't mine screw you bro
you just ruined us now we left and you made us look stupid I didn't respond
instead I messaged the artist explaining
the situation and told him I could be in his area if he really wanted the beat I
told him I lived 20 minutes outside the city and I could be there within an hour
now remember this is a local artist no one Famous by any means he does know
people but he himself is not famous So he responds and tells me to come through
I play the Full Beat for him and he said he wasn't feeling it anymore which
artists say a lot he then goes on to tell me that my roommate tried for hour
hours to remake my beat but couldn't even figure out the drum pattern that's
how he knew he lied about the beat being his he even called him out and my
roommate still said that it was his but that he was drinking and smoking when he
made it now he will never trust him again and he told all of his homies to
do the same now the local artist doesn't want to work with my roommate because
they don't know if what he brings is stolen or not which everyone knows in
the music world is a really bad idea bottom line don't try and steal for me
but now I gotta find a new place to live if I was in OP shoes I'd just be glad
that this guy showed his true colors there before it went on long enough for
them to actually backstab you our next story is can't behave yourself in
traffic I'll nullify your free parking privilege not far for me there's a
parking garage in the middle of a popular street level shopping district
bakeries restaurants hardware stores Green Grocers butchers fishmongers
cleaners bars book sellers head shops Cannabis stores liquor stores Banks pet
supplies there's a supermarket a post office a musical instrument store
Etc this parking garage charges non-trivially like two euros and 50
cents for every 30 minutes parking time however you can get 45 minutes free
parking by entering your car's plate number and your parking stall number on
the parkometer near each pedestrian exit One Fine Day in the main street of this
District I happen to be in front of a toddler behind the wheel of an expensive
luxury SUV I wasn't dawdling or anything when the lights turned green I promptly
went ahead and I kept up with the speed of traffic but on the other hand I
stopped for pedestrians Crossing all that brassed off hrh Lord High toddler
who aggressively tailgated me beamed me with a super bright High Beam lights
honked his horn kept trying to unsafely go around me I either in the bike lane
or in the opposite lane revving his engine to make pop bang sounds with the
exhaust I've since learned this is the result of petrol deliberately sprayed
into the exhaust chamber to simulate the exhaust noise of old carbureted race
cars from decades ago so wasting oil and creating CO2 just to annoy people isn't
that nice Etc eventually it became apparent that
we were both headed for the parking garage more honking and high beaming and
aggression from behind as I waited for a safe Gap to turn across traffic and
pedestrians into the entrance once inside the garage I selected a space and
pulled into it thus getting out of his way as he drove past behind me he gunned
his engine and leaned on his horn I guess to drive home whatever he thought
his point was I collected my shopping bags locked my car stepped up to the
parkometer and entered his plate number and one of the empty but reserved slash
off limits for General parking stall numbers the thing of it is any plate
number is allowed one free 45-minute Park up per day so when he went to get
his own 45 minutes free parking he would be rejected maximum daily free parking
exceeded select a paid parking option then I entered my own plate number and
the stall number I'd parked in got my 45
free minutes validated went up to street level and did my errands returned to my
car and drove away Petty but satisfying I mean obviously I imagine there's no
great way to verify but it kind of sucks
that it's so abusable that way this next story is Revenge from Beyond the Grave
my sister-in-law died suddenly on Thanksgiving this year her Memorial was
set for this past week her sons put on a very respectable event for about 50
people sister-in-law was divorced in the 1970s no contact with X High husband
during the testimonial part one of her closest friends who only knew her
post-divorce gave a short speech the friend related how sister-in-law's ax
drank a lot and it was the cause of their divorce friend then told what
sister-in-law did as the final act in her marriage she rearranged all of the
furniture her husband came home after midnight stinking drunk and unable to
maneuver throughout the house everyone had a good laugh at this brilliant
passive aggressive behavior what the friend giving the testimonial didn't
realize is that the ex-husband was attending the memorial
sister-in-law sure got him back from Beyond the Grave our next story is body
shaming me I'll let you all taste your own toxicity so I'm from Southeast Asia
where it's very common for relatives to comment on your appearances AKA body
shaming especially towards their nieces some of my aunts really like to comment
on my weight my BMI is categorized as overweight but I'm actively trying to
lose weight by switching to healthier food I already lost 8.8 pounds so far
and my current BMI is only 2.2 pounds away from normal weight every time there
were family gatherings these ants would always surround me and say wow op are
you aware that you're getting even fatter every time I see you you're not
that pretty so getting fat makes you look even uglier you should start
dieting because no guy likes ugly girls let alone
ugly fat girls on one of the family gatherings I already had a bad day thus
my mood isn't the greatest then they surrounded me like vultures and started
yapping the same crap I got so angry that I snapped and said wow Annie's upon
closer look you all actually got fatter as well then walked away they were so
shocked they all fell into silence I know it's not nice to do the same crap
that they did because what makes me different than them if I also commented
on their appearances as well but after receiving those reactions from them I
committed that as long as they were the first to initiate the body shaming then
I'd say the same crap they threw at me they told me I got fatter I also said
that they got fatter as well told me I'm ugly them as well no guy likes me them
either this repeated for a few more times within a few family gatherings
then suddenly I'm not fat nor ugly anymore isn't it sad that you gotta
throw it back in their face for them to realize hey it doesn't feel good to be
told this stuff even if they genuinely think that keep it to yourself our next
story is cheated on cheater then posted it online basically I'm a jerk here too
but not really I was in a relationship of three years with this girl during the
last two years my friends kept telling me that she's cheating on me everyone
claims to have seen her with other guys but I always said that I trust her and
that she wouldn't do that but in fact I did Trust them as I found clear evidence
of this myself this went on for two years my entire friend group and people
who knew me thought I was just into that
after three years of a relationship with her I broke up she cried begged me I
never told her that I actually knew she cheated I just broke up she went public
with this guy right away one month later I posted a picture of my girlfriend's
hand with an engagement ring on it with a caption after two beautiful years she
said yes followed by a reel of a quick slide of our days from many vacations in
these two years then I allegedly went to with my parents and siblings everyone I
know including my ex raided my DMs she came to my doorstep to cry and assault
me calling me cheater neighbors witnessed her throwing a big rock and
breaking my window for humiliating her called the cops on her and she got
arrested imagine I was kind of lazy to type the more intimate details of the
story but I think it's necessary to note the following my ex besides the fact
that she cheated on me was insanely manipulative violent psychotic and
downright evil I actually tried breaking up with her but she threatened me that
she'll get rid of herself with proof that I'm the reason behind it she could
have easily bruised herself as proof of me being a violent guy I tried reporting
her I tried helping her I offered for paying for therapy she denied everything
and the cops never took me seriously because a 198 centimeter tall guy cannot
get assaulted by a petite girl at the late stage of our crippling relationship
I tried to walk out of the fight when she threw a porcelain vase on my head
and ko'd me on the spot there was no way for me to win the only time cops
actually took me seriously is when she broke my window in front of a whole
neighborhood literally tried to claw my face with her nails that's when they
file the restraining order for quite some time she'd been emotionally and
mentally abusive if I showed her affection she would dismiss me instantly
withdrew hooking up completely if I drifted away and showed signs or
mentioned breaking up she would instantly crawl back and when I still
proceeded to wish for a breakup she would start to threaten me given the
metoo movement men and women are on equal paper but de facto in reality we
are not equal in court had she cooked up a story made up random allegations my
life would have ended I wanted to leave I couldn't now that we're broken up
she's in a relationship with the earlier mentioned guy and she's getting beaten
like a dog about my fiance she knew all of this and was one of the rare people
who actually took me seriously ideally I
would have broken up with my ex to go be with her but that just wasn't possible
at the time there are so so so so so so so many things I could write right here
so much mental manipulation that I saw just months later but I think this is
enough to somewhat show the more accurate picture so op was in a
relationship with their fiance and cheating on them for two years just to
get revenge I guess there's no good guy in this story our next story is if
you're going to discriminate against me make sure you can do your job without me
First Once Upon a Time I worked for a health center in their building
department I'd been there for quite some time already and knew the office inside
and out staff turnover had actually been rather rare but when the office manager
decided to retire things swiftly changed at first we got a brilliant ray of
sunshine as our new office manager she really changed the office modernized how
we did things and helped establish us as a stellar place to work I'd never been
happier but good things can last forever she was a star and was offered a much
better job at another health facility for a lot better pay and benefits we
literally cried when she left we had adored her so much before I go any
further there's a few things I need to add in details you know I have a mental
illness called skitzio effective disorder it's the depressive type I
actively have auditory hallucinations and frequent bouts of serious depression
but I've had it for decades now and it's well controlled with medication and
cognitive therapy one of the things that the office manager did for me was to
make sure I had a number of accommodations set up one of them was
the use of a special task oriented website and the other was to be allowed
to listen to a noise generator website both of these were vital in helping me
maintain concentration and get my work done efficiently and correctly about a
week after the new and now old office manager left for her new job we got
Karen I know the term is overused but my God stereotypes exist for a reason and
the reason was this lady Karen immediately said about making her mark
on the department all the good wheel we had built with our previous Supervisor
was out the window in short order she immediately tightened restrictions on
the office silence was in order we were not allowed to speak unless on the
phones or talking to a patient at the front counter she even sent an email
telling me if I had to blow my nose I had to get up and go to the bathroom to
do it she also had a devil of a time figuring out how to do reports in our
billing software as I'd been there forever I was tasked with showing her
how to do things it was an exercise in patience and teeth grinding and futility
she absolutely could not figure it out I tried everything to teach her printed
things out highlighted things added things up and showed her the tape marked
reports with arrows nope she wasn't getting it and she he blamed me for it
so began what I can only describe as a two-year Terror campaign on her part to
punish me she forced me to move from the desk I'd been sitting at for over a
decade reminder I'm schizoaffective moves like that can easily cause chaos
in my brain for months until I settle just thinking about it makes my heart
start to race it was awful my new seat was now right by the door to her office
and inside of everyone in the office my paranoia was at an all-time high she
then began having it track all of my internet traffic if I checked the
weather on a day we were supposed to get snow she had me in her office asking me
what I was doing on non-work related sites any site I visited that actually
was work related got questioned she made sure I knew she was watching me and
everything I did this included two websites I was using as accommodations I
explained how I used them and why and she was not having it she went to HR and
explained the sites I used were unprofessional HR decided to side with
her and then told me they were removing them and asked me to find a more
professional way to do things then comes the Clincher from Karen she looks me
dead in the eyes and says if you're too sick to work here then maybe you
shouldn't work here and that was it I knew what she was doing was
discriminatory nhr wasn't going to do anything to protect me so that's when I
decided I was going to get a new job and make sure she crashed and burned on my
way out I collected everything all her nasty Graham emails she'd sent out over
the years all her sticky notes I kept copies of my spreadsheets and other
things showing she was absolutely incapable of doing the job without
assistance my assistance mind you I was doing eighty percent of her job for her
these I assembled in a finder complete with date and time stamps and
explanations I typed up and printed off as covers to each incident the binder
was so thick I ended up having to start a second one as I did this I applied for
another job at a non-profit they interviewed me and the HR lady asked for
permission to speak to my current supervisor I hesitated and then
explained why I'd okayed it but to expect her to attempt to tank me and boy
did she I could hear the condescending tone of her voice through the door to
her office even if I couldn't quite make out what she was saying and I knew she
was talking to the potential new jobs HR lady HR lady called me after and asked
if I was still in contact with my previous supervisor the one I adored I
was we were friends on Facebook and as soon as I contacted her there she was
glad to help me out by speaking to this potential new jobs HR they offered me
the job the next day I cannot tell tell you how satisfying it was to walk into
Karen's office and give my two weeks notice her face just fell she had been
defeated and man it was a sour taste in her mouth that she couldn't contain
because for all her Bluster that she wanted me to quit in reality she didn't
really want me gone she knew she couldn't do her job without me and now
that very reality was staring her in the face those last two weeks were Grand I
blew my nose in the office I checked the
weather whenever I pleased and I stopped doing her work just mine which I made
sure was 100 caught up before I walked out the door she was stressed and
struggling and asking me to do things for her before I left I said sure and
tossed whatever it was into a drawer I didn't touch for the remainder of my
time there of course on my last day I had my exit interview I didn't stay long
I just informed them they had a very incompetent manager on their hands gave
them the two binders of dirt I'd collected and reminded them that people
don't quit jobs they quit bad management and poor HR decisions co-workers in the
office kept me abreast of developments after I left for my new job she lasted
less than a month after my resignation there had been a huge blow up in the
middle of the office between one of the HR folks and Karen over her incompetence
since I wasn't there anymore to clean up after her financials were a mess and
they were in the red for hundreds of thousands of dollars that were
unaccounted for all because Karen couldn't figure out how to do her job
and she'd been there for over two years at that point it's been a few years now
and I'm still super happy at my new job and from what I hear she's now working
in an office of a dinky little place where she's in charge of absolutely no
one for a fraction of the salary she was getting previously as it should be this
next story is a league legal Airbnb owner too cheap to fix issues I want to
note that I hate Airbnb and I think a majority of the hosts have no business
being hosts I've had some bad experiences and have avoided using them
in the past four years someone gifted me an Airbnb gift card and I had it in my
possession for over two years I thought okay it's been four years wounds heal
and maybe I can try it again and finally
use this card also I'm not a Karen and I rarely leave bad reviews normally I try
to be very understanding of situations and not vengeful but this experience had
too many issues for me to ignore I planned a vacation to Canada and found a
listing it was a condo 4.5 star rating 3
bedroom 2 bathroom price seemed okay and it had a designated underground parking
space available for our car rental I booked the place and didn't think much
of it three days before my reservation the owner sends me instructions on how
to access this place the parking garage Etc there's a note in his instructions
the property does not permit short-term rentals like Airbnb and if anyone asks I
should lie and see I'm staying for a month okay whatever shady stuff you want
to do find with me as long as I don't get into any legal trouble here I had no
problems locating the condo and letting myself in using the instructions
provided however there was a slew of other problems that I don't think I
should have had to deal with the underground garage key button didn't
work and cars would come in and out of the underground parking no matter what I
pressed on the garage key it wouldn't work I messaged the owner who said try
this try that get closer I fiddled with this thing for an hour I ended up
parking on the street but that was permitted for overnight parking overall
I spent like three hours on this dumb garage key issue during this whole trip
his Solutions were go replace the battery on the garage key button but I
didn't have a screw to free the battery from from inside the garage key I was
also a bit annoyed that I had to spend my vacation time fixing an issue with
his garage key he would send someone over well that person never came and he
changed his mind four hours later to send someone he suggested I pay in a
paid parking lot a one-way 15-minute walk away from the condo I would have to
spend 30 minutes a day walking to and from my vehicle he would pay for parking
but nothing else I suggested he pay for an Uber each day or give me a discount
for the time I'm losing each day but he wouldn't a big reason I booked this
Airbnb was because of the parking spot two why am I paying a cleaning fee the
condo was not clean just the toilet was clean I think and the floor was swept
the carpet floors had human hair all over it Gathering up around the corners
and around the bed the beds were made but the bed sheets weren't washed you
could smell body odors on it there was a washer and dryer in the condo so we
threw all of the bed sheets pillow covers and towels in the watch it took
around four hours to get through all of that laundry three the TV that sits on
the TV stand was flimsy and broken if you put any weight on the side of the TV
stand the top portion of it will dislodge and the TV will topple over
which it did and a 15 year old flat screen TV was broken I took
responsibility and replaced it with a brand new one he was fine with that I
didn't blame him but did inform him the stand was broken and sent him a video of
it he said he sees nothing wrong with it 4. while I was replacing the TV I also
took the garage key with me and replaced the battery the garage key still didn't
work I sent him the receipt for the battery purchase on my PayPal
information I had to message him three times until he randomly sent me a wire
using Canada banks that I couldn't accept and I couldn't accept the money
because I have a U.S Bank he was just like too bad I had to take it up with
Airbnb who reimbursed me after all of that the Airbnb host said his cleaning
lady tried the garage key and she was able to get it work by standing really
close to the garage Hub box I'm not sure what it's called I don't see the point
in him saying that but whatever I left him a bad review on Airbnb but I just
didn't think it was enough here comes my
revenge I remembered on the first day of my stay someone knocked on her door and
asked who we were I lied according to the host instructions that we were
visiting from out of town and staying a month I looked up the property
management company of that building and emailed them I informed them of his
instructions to lie share the Airbnb listing link and specified what unit it
was I got a response a few days later and the property management said it was
unacceptable and they'll be speaking to the owner I'm not sure what the outcome
is I'll check in a few weeks to see if the listing is still up let's see if I
shut down his Airbnb business I've never
personally used Airbnb but I'll tell you what after all I've heard over the last
few years especially with some idiotic cleaning fees and things like that I
would be extremely hesitant to do an Airbnb over just straight up a hotel but
with that being said that's all the time we have for today now if you want to
hear another absolutely crazy Revenge story check out that video on the left
or if you missed my latest video check out that video on the right that said
I'll see you all next time with some more stories | give me a good story on rProRevengeHOWISCREWEDOVERANAIRBNBHOSTRedditStoriesorig |

hey everybody hope you're all doing well my name is Stephen and welcome back to
the story time channel our first story of the day is one that I find quite
frustrating but let me not waste any more time the first story is by Sheik
your booty no offense honey but I just don't think you're qualified back in my
call center days a frequent issue among our female Tech's
my team had about five to nine on average out of about 200 was to get
someone who would insist on being transferred to a male Tech this happened
at least once a week my friend Valerie got a customer who insisted that he
speak with a man before even mentioning his problem saying no offense honey but
I just don't think you're qualified if the customer ever requested to speak
with another technician for whatever reason the policy was to tell the
customer to call back when told this the customer demanded to speak with his
supervisor so he did he spoke with the only female supervisor Liz on the floor
who loved getting these kinds of escalations who asked the customer why
specifically he felt the technician who transferred him wasn't qualified to
assist him apparently Liz at a habit of letting any female new hires know that
if a customer wanted to speak to a supervisor because they demanded a man
they are free to let her know it gets better
Lissa told me that normally these calls end with a very resigned and defeated
customer being transferred back to a different and female tag to resolve this
issue but the customer that had escalated from Valerie refused to
believe that another woman would be in any position of authority in our company
and demanded to speak with Liz's boss Liz told the customer that she was the
final point of contact he was going to get and if he didn't like it he could
call the corporate office the customer assured 'el is that he would do so and
hung up a week later Liz finds out that the
customer actually did call corporate to complain however unlike tech support the
customer interaction department of the corporate office was mostly women
when the VP of customer service got wind of this guy she made sure that the few
male members of her staff were suddenly unavailable to speak with him and even
spoke with the customer personally unfortunately ignorance often knows no
bounds so the customer continued to call back and harass the staff using choice
language and vague threats until he finally managed to speak with a man a
representative of the company's legal department who let the customer know
that all calls with him had been recorded that they consider any future
attempt to contact them to be harassment and he can expect a cease and desist
letter in the near future I'm not sure who this guy thinks he is I'm wondering
what kind of profession or hobby or whatever this is where this guy feels so
convinced that a woman would never be able to help him in a call center I
would think a woman could do anything a man could do they'd probably do it
better for all I know I'm wondering what would be the choice words to give this
guy our next story is by thick like grits great name
I run the store nothing moves without my say-so all right bet four years ago I
worked in a store for a large well-known and well hated telecom in Canada I
started out as a sales rep then was quickly promoted to assistant manager
because I'm a fast learner I constantly crushed sales targets and
always offer to train staff for new store openings Joe the regional manager
seemed to like me and was nice which I thought was because I'm the only woman
in a store with all men but tenured sales reps warned me that he was always
nice to sales reps and rude to managers one day our store manager SM rig gets
fired for skipping work to watch a hockey game he was actually seen on TV
in the front row standing and cheering after calling in too sick to move and a
few co-workers went out with him afterwards where he drunkenly bragged
about calling in sick to see said hockey
game Joe didn't hire a new store manager because of cost so he asked me to run
the store but without the title or no problem I love my job and the staff I
even come in on my days off to make sure
the staff are okay and check on supplies
I'm also the first black assistant store manager in the region in ages so I felt
like I had something to prove a few months go by and a customer comes
in wanting to open up a small business account with six lines I verify the
company is real credit check HST number etc and processed the sale for her for
black iPhone sevens a rose gold iPhone 7 plus any blackberry massive Commission
for me even bigger Commission for Joe Joe comes to the store the next day
wanting to talk about the sale I thought
I messed up along the way or got flagged
for fraud nope he was pissed that I sold the stores last rose gold iPhone 7 plus
instead of holding on to it because he wanted to take it out of inventory to
give it to his daughter for free which is against company policy and the rose
gold iPhone 7 plus was on backorder I tell him that it's better for us to sell
the phone and I didn't know he wanted to take it out of inventory to give away

and said he didn't want to lose me at the store and dangled the thought of
making me store manager if I stayed oh well at that point I just wanted out I
aced the interviews and got hired I've been here ever since and I never have to
interact with Joe freak you and the ants Joe this is a wonderful Power Move Joe
comes in here trying to flex himself I'm the manager I'm the store manager I'm
the regional manager if I want to take this expensive really limited item out
of inventory and give it to my daughter for free even though it's against policy
I'm gonna do it and then opie thick like grits steps in says no I actually run
the store I'm going to show you the truth and then I'm gonna get an even
better job than you do way to show your manager how it is our next story is by
future pink 719 I sold the ring he wanted but he told me to I used to work
in a pawn shop as both a sales associate
and a pawn broker I have so many stories
I could probably fill this subreddit but this one always makes me smile because
of how smug the man was when I was a sales associate I sold a lot of jewelry
I often had to tell people that we couldn't hold items because a someone
might come in and want it and have the money right there and B we had a layaway
program so unless you put some money down 20% holding it wasn't an option so
one day this man comes in and is looking
for a very specific type of ring diamond channel-set anniversary ring said in
white gold size five the pawn shop I worked out had a vast collection of
these types of things and many sizes and with many different carat weights he
needed a specific size and a specific carat weight and he was very much in
luck because we had been to have it most pawnshops are you
get what you see and you can see what you get basically we don't have
inventory or stock of any specific item and our jewelers are for sizing and
dippin purposes only so I show my ring that I have in the case here you go
exactly the size you need and just over the carat weight man pulls out a loupe
looks at diamonds okay they're not as clear as I normally like them yeah I
understand but the price is only 350 and at a regular jewelry store this would
easily run around $1,500 so while the clarity isn't as nice it's still a
really good deal and I don't know if you'll find another this size of the
same carat weight man sighing okay well I know your sister store also has some
rings right you think they might have a better one
with better quality at this time there is a woman looking at rings and clearly
listening to our conversation but I'm positive he hasn't noticed her she sees
the ring in my hand and I see her eyebrow go up I'm not sure but they are
a smaller store so their inventory is smaller if they do have one there isn't
a guarantee the ring will be the correct size or the same carat weight hmm okay
well can you hold the ring for me I want to go see their inventory I'm sorry we
can't company policies that all items held must be put on layaway for holding
if someone wants to buy an item and it isn't in layaway we don't want to stop
them hmm well I'm gonna hold off and go check that store if someone comes in and
sees this specific ring yeah go ahead and sell it but I doubt that's gonna
happen he walked away with a kind of smug look on his face just as he left
the woman who was listening to our conversation walks up can I see that
ring he didn't want I hand it over to her she slips it on her finger and
smiles I'll take it she didn't even hesitate
she straight-up bought this ring after wearing it for five seconds during ring
out I asked her why and she said she had been searching for a channel said ring
for a few years of the pawn shops but none had caught her I like that one
and it was her size which can be hard to find I told her have a nice day and
cleaned it before she left 45 minutes later the man walked back in okay they
didn't have anything so I guess I'll take that one I was looking at I'm sorry
sir but just after you left a woman came up tried on the ring and bought it I
don't have any more in the carat weight you're looking for I have some in the
higher carat weights if you're interested are you freaking serious you
know I'd probably be back why did you sell it well you did say I should if
someone came in and saw it just because you doubt something is
going to happen doesn't mean it can't so in my own thoughts I kind of feel a
little bad for the guy let me clarify that obviously his attitude was nasty
and he seemed entitled but also in a lot of situations where you would walk away
for 45 minutes or whatnot you would think that that ring would probably
still be there when he came back that being said this is kind of a learning
tool if it's a free-for-all situation and it's a situation where you know you
probably won't get a better option and you're happy with that option I think
you should really heavily consider taking it and unfortunately this guy
missed out but that's the chance you take our next story is by SM Warren boss
wanted me to wear better clothes back when I used to work at a store I'll call
forever 22 I worked with a manager who absolutely hated me her and I used to go
at each other all the time over random crap well a couple of times throughout
my time working there she'd comment on my choice of clothes usually it was
things about how my clothes are too tight for a boy or they were too
feminine and eventually I got fed up with it
I read into our dress code and decided to really get under her skin
on our last day working at forever 22 I wore a dress but she couldn't say
anything since I follow the dress code guidelines perfectly
I made her so dang uncomfortable my other co-workers who also disliked her
except like - who were her friends complimented me I quit shortly after
that and now I work in a pharmacy I definitely think people who are in
managerial positions should really try and focus on making employees and
people's experiences in general happier not try and put people down I think it's
rather frustrating to see nasty people getting these managerial positions I say
if Opie wants to wear a dress regardless of who they are what they look like and
it makes them happy and it fits the guidelines by all means go for it and
our final story of the day is by smoke one I want to speak to the owner my wife
and I opened a store together that she ran I was just the technical contact for
most things she was listed as owner I was listed as mingler customer comes
in and starts asking the wife questions and the customer doesn't like the
answers he was getting because girl don't know nothin speculation on my part
but it fits in demands to speak to the manager
wife mentions that it won't be in for an hour and he was free to wait or come
back and speak to the manager he decided to come back but that just meant he sat
in his car for an hour until I got there I finally showed up and the guy follows
me in asking this off-the-wall question and I stopped and thought about it and
said I don't know let me ask my wife and
he said I already asked her employee and she doesn't know what she's talking
about so I asked for the manager I see that's not getting me anywhere either I
want to speak to the owner now I turned around to the wife and said he wants to
talk to you again apparently the customer then said a woman can't own a
store like this so I handed him her business card that said owner and said
if he'd like to look it up on the business registry he could my wife being
the absolute Saint she is even helped the guy after he calmed down a bit
I love the dynamic here between Opie and his wife and also him calling himself a
Mangler instead of a manager nice touch there these two honestly sound like a
nice lovely couple and the wife as Opie said is an absolute Saint for still
helping this guy out even after he was a hothead
and asking for a man and saying a woman can't even own a store like this but
with that being said that's all the time

boyfriend bought his ex-wife's daughter a car while I'm riding the bus my
boyfriend my baby's dad bought his ex-wife's daughter not his child a brand
new car while I haven't had one in 2 years while I'm riding the bus with my
baby he doesn't have that much money he works a lot but has a lot of debt but he
bought her a car she's 26 the thing that pisses me off is that she was
complaining about how she needs another nose job because the one she got last
year as well as breast augmentation last year is botched I'm riding the bus with
my baby she can buy herself a car I don't expect my boyfriend to buy me one
but at least don't buy another woman a car we don't even have any Furniture
besides a box spring and a mattress everything we've ever gotten for our
baby is secondhand as a matter of fact I did not have insurance while I W
pregnant and I did not see a doctor for 8.5 months and I also found out he was
selling her $1,000 every month all that while I was panicking every day because
I didn't know if the baby I was carrying was okay he never told me what he was
buying or spending I found out a few days ago while looking through his phone
when I confronted him about it he said she had problems paying her rent so he
was helping her out she also needed a car but I remember her having a new CRV
last year he told me what he was doing with his money was none of my business
when when I ask him for a ride somewhere he freaks out I needed tampons on
Thanksgiving and he lashed out on me that it wasn't his job to take me to the
store that I needed to figure out how to
take myself to places and probably a big red flag I should not have ignored he
bought a house a few years before we started dating and he put the title in
his ex-wife's daughter name so she would inherit it because she has three
children which you know what whatever it's not my house to begin with but he
then said that if something were to happen to him he works a somewhat
dangerous job I would need to figure something for me and my son because his
ex-wife's daughter doesn't like me and wouldn't he want me to live in the house
I currently live in at this point I'm just going to leave him and move far
with my child but to work full-time I need to find a way to put my baby in
daycare I don't know I feel kind of humiliated I'm his partner the mother of
his baby and the woman who has been on his side for years I feel like me and my
child should come first this is more of a rant than anything else I am just
typing as I'm as thinking I think I'm an idiot who must love to date people who
really don't care about me | give me a good story on Boyfriendboughthisexwifesdaughteracarwhileimridingthebus |

what would you do when a friend is giving you this silent treatment because
you wouldn't drop them off for their appointment for surgery we'll get into
that in a bit but first husband 31-year-old male got reprimanded at work
for making a coworker 23-year-old female uncomfortable and somehow this is set
him off the deep end we met in college got married in our mid-20s and we're
raising two children he's hardworking loving and has a healthy and large
circle of friends and family who think the world of him so I cannot
overemphasize how caught off guard I am by the last few months one of my close
friends has a friend who works in the same company and reached out to me
basically recapped an incident in November Maya is a 23-year-old customer
rep that's been working for a few months
in their company and in November went to HR to file a complaint over my husband
UGL at her and making her feel uncomfortable he called her Pocahontas
in the breakroom another cooworker an older more established person in the
company vouched for the disrespectful way my husband spoke and acted towards
her and how she had to tell my husband off he got reprimanded and written up
when I asked him he didn't deny what happened and instantly assured me his
job wasn't in any real danger and how I know the boss loves him and they go way
back I told him it wasn't about that and it's about what possessed him to harass
a girl and he excused it by saying his eyes wandered and he didn't mean to
offend her when he nicknamed her I called BS on that and told him he didn't
even sound sorry he told me he was but that he learned from it and it wouldn't
happen again my friend later told me Maya was freaked out over a very
expensive Anonymous set of gifts that was sent to her apartment and how there
was no proof but that Maya knew it came for my husband and that during work my
husband didn't cross any lines but that the poor girl still felt icked out
whenever she had to share a room with him my friend told me I only had her
word to go on but that she herself caught glimpses of my husband checking
out Maya during lunch or meetings and only Maya got the those types of stairs
from him I hated having to do this but I checked my husband's bank accounts and
his cell phone to maybe find a purchase order nothing out of the order except
for a major transfer to one of his friends Almost 8,000 I confronted him
and he said that his friend just needed some help and how I know said friend is
in a tight bind and how he has kids and Christmas was coming up I couldn't argue
and had to swallow my worries and bad feelings because he kept reassuring me
how everything was fine at work in January Maya reported him to HR again
and this time he told me the same day likely because he knew I'd find out
otherwise and he was acting like a victim saying Maya would act like his
friend one moment and then get him in trouble the next I told him to stop
lying to stop making excuses and to stop insulting my intelligence I screamed at
him to get out of the house and stay gone then it's like his brain broke or I
don't know the real him came out maybe he went on this demented rant about how
I don't have to worry that I'm his wife the mother of his children how
everything is airtight and what's his is mine and how his attraction to Maya was
just animalistic and how someone like her would never threaten my place I was
stupified as I heard my husband go off on this sick tangent including referring
to this poor girl using slurs I kicked him out and couldn't even stand to look
at him for 2 weeks a day after he tried taking it back saying he was stressed
and felt like everybody was attacking him but I couldn't stand to speak with
him much less look at him he promised to work on himself and us and said we
should go to a couple's therapy when I'm ready and in the meantime he'll give me
my distance I told him he needs to see a
therapist by himself and he didn't argue back at all he even confessed that he
did send Maya that Anonymous expensive gift and had his friend put in the order
it's been 3 weeks he's gone on two sessions with a therapist and we're
scheduled for our first session of coup's therapy at the end of February
thus far he's shown he's willing to put in the work to get better but how do you
get better from that is there even a point to couple's therapy I feel so lost
I don't recognize the person I married but I also don't want to break up our
family if there's a chance he can get reformed so personally I feel like the
issue here is is this a couple's therapy thing this sounds more like a personal
therapy thing that he needs to work through first this isn't like a
relationship issue and ultimately did he admit to that 8,000
transfer actually being all for Maya I mean how much of coup's therapy can
really fix that also hi I'm Steven and if you guys enjoy tricky relationship

our next story is found husbands 50 years old condoms he denies we're a
husband 50 wife 36 I wife found two three packs of condoms this weekend in
his bag he travels a lot and we were just reunited after 2 weeks of being
apart also found them with two prepaid $200 cards doesn't look good his first
response was those have been there forever I know they haven't I've looked
in the bag within the last month and we've been married 14 years haven't used
them for at least 12 forgot to look at the expiry unfortunately he also
responded with I'll take a lie detector test to me a huge red flag like who says
that we were apart a lot because of his job and he travels quite a bit part of
me wants to believe there's an explanation like easier cleanup if he's
using a toy but I can't get past the prepaid cards and knowing that he's
taken care of himself at home before without using them just having a major
what moment here don't know how to proceed I've had moments in the past
where I felt like he wasn't being truthful but he made me believe he was
faithful in my opinion I do think he has an adult entertainment problem and I
know he needs a lot more sex than I do what in the heck do I do to try and get
more information out of him he just made me feel like I was crazy I mean I think
you just need to be upfront with him and say listen I know they weren't always
there don't try and insult me and act like they were just be honest with me
tell me the truth maybe we can move forward with things but if there's no
answer or just a whole bunch of BS there's no way you can move forward our
next story is telling friend female 30 that I female3 can't pick her up and
send her back all the time my friend and I attend a pottery Workshop every
weekend I drive and she doesn't anxiety issues she would like me to pick her up
and send her back every time the drive to her place is a 15-minute detour and
picking her up and sending her back would add around 29 km to my drive she's
quite a nice person and offers me gas money but the drive and time I have to
allocate tires me out not to mention the planning of my day around the commute
weekends are when I spend my me time and sometimes I'd like to go somewhere else
after the workshop to which she'd offer to tag along and I could send her back
after I like the option of getting to drop by the workshop whenever I can
which I can't if I'm having to detour or
set a pickup time she's not too familiar with public transport or car ride
services and is of the opinion that they're too expensive fair enough the
fairs can get a bit High there's a train station near me I'm thinking of asking
her to take a train so I can just pick her up from there but that would mean
her spending more money or getting her aging dad to send her to the station am
I being too in sensitive over this since
my reasons are not really urgent and she is a good longtime friend I don't blame
op in this situation I get being helpful especially if they're a good longtime
friend but at some point it just becomes quite a burden for somebody that you're
not really supposed to be responsible for and especially if you're in a
situation where after a while you might want to go do something else after the
workshop on your own and you can't because you have to drop your friend off
every single time I could see why you would would become kind of resentful I
do think she has to figure something out for herself one way or the other it's
one thing to do a favor for a friend but when you start to resent it and you
start to hate doing it it's no longer doing a favor it's an obligation or a
chore our next story is I male 25 saw my sister female 24 cheat on her boyfriend
and now I'm stuck so full disclosure I made this Reddit account a week ago and
I've been typing this and deleting it every day out of anxiety my step sister
female 24 and her boyfriend male 27 have
been together for about 2 and 1/2 months I've only met the guy twice he's pretty
introverted so I haven't been able to get a great feel for him but he's a nice
guy has a good job and treats my sister very well which makes this freaking mess
even worse two weekends ago me my sister and her best friend who I'm close to as
well went to a show about an hour and a half away we had pit tickets so when we
got there we got drinks and stood for a few minutes it's trying to get a feel
for the crowd as the opening band began to play a group of guys filled in behind
us there were four of them all tall pretty handsome one of the guys
complimented her best friend's tattoo and we started talking in kind of merged
groups there was one who kind of dialed into my sister and they started talking
as they were talking she had pretty flirty body language laughing smiling
touching his arm she's a very outgoing person and this isn't totally out of the
norm for her so I kind of looked the other way way however as the night went
on they kept talking as we were listening to music they got closer until
he was standing behind her with his hands on her hips and her hands on his
like couples do at shows the group was pretty drunk at this point so it felt
like I was the only one noticing I make eye contact with her and tilted my head
as to ask what she was doing she smiled and separated herself from him whatever
a momentary lapse of judgment I was willing to call it over however an hour
later I was in in line for the bathroom and I saw them in an area towards the
back with her hands wrapped around his neck and his on her hips talking and
laughing in this Embrace not proud to say I froze then elected to stay in line
and use the bathroom when I got to the back of the group they were gone they
returned about an hour later what happened in that hour I have no idea but
I just feel like it was nothing good the drive home was quiet as the girls had
drank a lot I dropped them off and haven't been able to stop thinking about
it since so obviously I need to tell him like I
said before don't know him well but he seems like a good dude here's the thing
though I don't have any contact information for him the only thing I
know is where he works in his hours I don't really want to show up at buddy's
work with life changing news so like I said just feeling very stuck my sister
is a genuinely good person and I love having her in my life but I can't just
pretend this didn't happen I think especially considering their
relationship with their boyfriend is is only a two-month thing op probably
should confront their sister first about this and tell them that it's weighing
heavy on your conscience and that they need to own up to it if you're afraid of
blowing up a relationship with your sister here don't go relationship Batman
for the guy that she's been with for 2 months instead talk to the person who
you're more worried about retaining that relationship with our next story is
boyfriend got rid of some of my clothes how do I talk to him about this in a
productive way boyfriend 28-year-old male and I 22-year-old female have been
together for almost 2 years we recently moved in together so we've been trying
to adjust to that I recently went with my family for a week to see another side
of my family boyfriend didn't want to go
but was very much invited he didn't want me to go because he thought I was being
irresponsible i disagreed because I told work in plenty of time and could afford
it I got back last weekend and when I got home he rearranged almost everything
I was sort of upset because I think he should have talked to me first I didn't
think it was worth making a big deal about it so I didn't say anything I
noticed my closet had a lot less in it but thought he put some of them in the
guest room where I already had some of my stuff I realized yesterday I was
missing a lot of my stuff and couldn't find things I asked him about it and he
told me he went through everything in the house and got rid of some of my
stuff because it was taking up space and don't wear them I did wear a bunch of
those things and I know he hasn't kept track of what I do and don't wear in his
head he bought me a necklace when I got home home so I haven't talked to him
about this yet because I would feel like a jerk I want to sit him down this
weekend and go over it without getting into an argument I don't want to be
walked all over but also don't want to make this a huge deal should I bring
this up I already told him not to do that in the future I mean I feel like op
already is kind of being walked all over it's the lack of a backbone here in the
situation and pressing him on this stuff that's the issue he went and threw away
a lot of your stuff that you do wear and op's obviously upset about it but they
can't communicate that to their partner for fear of getting into an argument he
already showed some kind of controlling Behavior trying to prevent you from
seeing your family when it made a lot of sense for you to be able to go now
you're afraid of confronting him when he threw out your stuff this next story is
my 21-year-old female gay boyfriend 23-year-old male of one year says he's
straight for me but I don't believe him my boyfriend 23-year-old male and I
21-year-old female have always been friends and I knew that he was gay since
the start of our friendship about a year ago my boyfriend told me that he likes
me before we started dating I was confused because he's made it very clear
that he's a gay man but when he was confessing his feelings he told me that
I'm the only woman he's ever been attracted too I liked him too yes
knowing he's gay and we started dating he's a great partner that has treated me
well over the past year but one thought I can't seem to shake is that I feel
like one day he's going to realize that that he isn't attracted to me and that
he will end up leaving me while I know it's been a year and he's shown no signs
of it it is something I can't seem to shake yes I've talked to him about it
before and honestly he just gets upset when I bring it up which just makes my
anxiety with it worse to me it feels like he's using me as a way to portray a
straight Persona to his family as his mom is extremely homophobic or he's
attracted to me now but will change his mind in the future I really do love him
but I don't know how to get rid of this feeling
or really even talk to him about it because he just gets upset when I bring
it up how should I get rid of these feelings or bring it up to him again
update thank you all for all of the comments and support it was really
helpful to hear about all of the different perspectives I took the advice
for a majority of people and decided to have a sit-down discussion with him
about everything the comments he makes our sex life his mom the way he gets
upset when I bring anything up Etc and I think it went okay He listened to
everything I had to say and apologized for how he's acted he also gave an
honest explanation for why he continues to say that he's gay which some were
right he just doesn't care to put a label on himself that he knows doesn't
matter but that he'll no longer bring it up with people unless it's asked about
he also said that it was hard for him to come to terms with liking a woman so
that's one of the reasons he's reacted in the ways he has as for sex he thinks
that it's just because he's new to it in
general I'm his third sexual partner and the first woman partner with that he
says that he's never really thought he'd
end up needing to know how to pleasure a woman correctly but that if I help him
with it he is willing to learn there was another thing he mentioned as well but
it is extremely personal and I'm not going to share that information he did
however say that I need to learn to cope with the anxiety about him leaving me
and that he's willing to help with that as well but if I'm unable to he doesn't
see how the relationship can continue I would 100% get and respect that and I
will work on it thank you all once again I mean it sounds to me like he's just
kind of struggling with his own kind of identity especially as evidenced by what
he says at least I certainly hope that's the case and it's not like a ongoing
thing where he's just trying to use op as their beard I guess if I were in OP
shoes I'd be watching for a hawk for any reason why he would want to have that
kind of portrayal around the people in his life otherwise yeah I think it's
maybe just a personal struggle they're going through somebody that was so
confident and dead set in this is who I am and suddenly somebody does come along
who's so awesome who's so amazing you begin to question your whole identity
you could see where it would be conflicting right our next story is my
wife 45-year-old female and I 46-year-old male could not be in the
same city on Valentine's Day so she had dinner with a coworker and I need a
reality check to see if I'm overreacting background info we've been married 18
years and have kids but we don't seem to want the same things out of marriage I
believe she likes me and is fully committed but being in a romantic
relationship is just not a big part of her identity whereas my relationship
with my wife and kids are the most important part of me we've never had
many dates together partly because she travels frequently and often goes out to
eat as part of her job so it's not a special thing for her however last night
was not a work dinner it was social with the cooworker whom she seems the most
chummy with I don't know anything about the guy's intentions but they both are
attractive and have appealing personalities he was also traveling so
he too was away from his family she called while I was making dinner for our
kids so I just asked what her plans were and she told me I wouldn't have thought
much of this if this was a different day but isn't it weird to have dinner with
another guy on Valentine's Day doesn't it have a certain appearance I didn't
know how to react so I changed the subject but when she was saying goodbye
I said enjoy your date maybe to let her know that I was a little hurt and needed
to process she sounded deflated not expecting me to be upset and said you
want me to eat by myself like she was already resigned to cancelling with the
guy I trust her and have no interest in trying to control anyone so I told her
to just go and I assume she did she called about an hour later but I didn't
answer because I still felt hurt I know she didn't mean anything by going out
but I didn't feel like I could pretend it didn't bother me and if I did tell
her it bothered me I would feel like I was making too much out of it am I
blowing it out of proportion how would you react act she has never taken
Valentine's Day that seriously maybe just getting me a card or nothing at all
but I always try to do stuff to make it a little special I don't think
anything's going on with them I'm 98% certain my wife would not cheat on me
that's not what the post is about it's about me checking to see if I'm being
irrational here would you think anything of it if your spouse did this I would
have at least expected her to have mentioned going out with someone on
Valentine's without me having to ask but I think their plans were so so casual
that it didn't register with her I could
be bothered by it I mean I think this is more of the greater relationship issues
kind of manifesting themselves here if op is absolutely sure nothing nefarious
was going on here I think it's just op's lashing out a bit you know they just
want more out of their marriage and their relationship they want date nights
they want to feel a little special they want to feel celebrated and acknowledged
and stuff and I can't blame them I would want the same thing things I think op's
just kind of feeling a little unloved in the moment our next story is my
26-year-old female fianceé 29-year-old male canceled wedding one week before
the ceremony what do I do next my fiance
canceled our wedding one week before the ceremony he said he'd been having a
builtup of a nervous feeling over the past 3 months and he finally decided he
can't go through with it he said he feels like getting married would mean
that he is trapped for the rest of his life he decided he wanted a short break
so I went to stay with my parents 4 days later he texted asking me if I could
come home and that he misses me and loves me he has arranged to see a
psychologist SL counselor chiefly he wants to figure out one why this
happened two does he not want to marry at all or just not want to marry me
three does he still want to have kids at all or is it just that he doesn't want
to have kids with me thought it might be worth mentioning that he's always told
me he wanted a family previously and this is all coming as a surprise for me
for context we've been dating for the past 3 and 1/2 years how should I be
feeling about this what should I do next should I continue living with him while
he figures this out should I go on a long holiday somewhere else while he
figures this out should I just leave him for good once and for all honestly it's
probably for the best for op to go on the holiday and let him just try to
figure this stuff out op got blindsighted by this and it sounds like
it's really him trying to find whatever he wants I say rather rather than let
yourself get dragged down any further try to just refresh and take your mind
off of it and hopefully come back to him actually having an answer this next
story is my boyfriend male 23 missed Valentine's Day with me female 21 should
I break up with him my boyfriend has had
a history of missing or canceling events or holidays on me for his friends or
because of his dog we've been seeing each other since July he canceled on me
for this past Christmas because he claimed his family wasn't celebrating it
and he and his friends were going to do a celebration that day I was not invited
missing Christmas with my family and I had to give him the gifts my family got
him the next week then came my 21st birthday he loves going to the bar and
was super excited for me to be 21 he booked a trip to go see his family and
scheduled his vacation time the week of my birthday and missed it he left the
day before my birthday and came back 4 days later he told me it was the only
time his family could see him then that weekend my friends and I went to a bar
to celebrate since he couldn't be here on my actual birthday he didn't get
there till about 9:45 p.m. because some of his friends came home from college
for the weekend and he just had to go to
the bonfire at their house I offered for him to bring them with us so I could
meet them and we could all hang out but he declined all of my friends have been
telling me to break up with him since he always cancels on me then yesterday we
had dinner reservations around 8:00 p.m. for Valentine's Day and he called me at
5:00 p.m. to imply that he wanted to cancel because he had a stressful day at
work and felt bad that he had to leave his dog in the cage while we were out
even though the dog hasn't been in the cage all day because his mother worked
from home I'm a full-time college student in my senior semester with an
internship I go to twice a week and work
a part-time job there are times when I'm
stressed or my friends want to do things but I don't cancel our plans because I
value the time we have together everyone in my life is telling me to break up
with him but I don't know if I should honestly it just sounds like op's the
girlfriend when it's convenient like they're just popping by and being there
like when they can or when they want to it doesn't really sound like op is a
priority in the guy's life our next story is my 27-year-old female Grandma
65-year-old female feels entitled to my inheritance money my mom passed away a
year and 4 months ago I was listed as the sole beneficiary for her 401k and
life insurance so I received everything plus before she passed she had terminal
cancer she directly told me that she wanted me to have everything and even
talked to me about taking money out of her 401K early before passing to ensure
that I would receive it after my mom's death my grandma has acted entitled to
my money on several different occasions and has expressed along with my mom's
partner that they think the money should
have been distributed amongst the family equally I'm my mother's only child and
my father passed years before her so even if she didn't explicitly Express
her wish for me to receive the inheritance verbally I would think that
I meant to receive all of the inheritance just by the natural order of
things my grandma texted me on Valentine's Day without wishing a happy
Valentine's Day or even a simple hello first telling me that I forgot to cash a
$700 healthc care refund check my mom received after her death and said that
she sure could have used the money for her federal taxes if she knew I was
going to lose the money dealing with probate after my mom's death was very
stressful alongside the grief and it was never my intention to forget to cash a
check obviously and I guess I understand her mentality that the money is useful
and should be utilized but it really bugs me the way that she came at me and
the fact that she feels entitled enough to say that she could have used it for
her taxes when the money isn't hers whatsoever that call isn't even hers I'm
the pr of my mom's estate and why would this money be used to pay her federal
taxes I don't really know how to respond to her how would you navigate this
situation or how would you reply I mean thank her for bringing that to your
attention that the check slipped your mind I really don't know the best way to
reply to them but the bottom line is that's your money that you're entitled
to and really no matter what type of way they're feeling about it it doesn't
matter I mean maybe kill them with kindness or even kind of Silence just
than them for bringing it to your attention and maybe ignore everything
else our next story is my female 25 friend female 29 is giving me this
silent treatment because I wouldn't drop her off to a doctor's appointment for
surgery before I begin here's a bit of context m is really beautiful like 10
out of 10 gorgeous she dated guys with money who buy her nice gifts and her
recent ex T bought her a lot of gifts and helped her out a bunch when she had
a hard time in effort to win her back T was very manipulative and emotionally
abusive so she didn't get back with him a few months ago em had a situation with
her Audie car that it cost a few grand to fix and it wasn't worth it to her so
she sold her car and saved to get herself a newer car during that time mem
had recently broke up with her ex T in January last year even though they were
broken up he was still trying to get her back by driving her places since she
didn't have a car so she could get groceries run errands Etc after a few
months of this m stopped contact with t since she was 100% done with him so she
didn't have anyone to give her rides she asked me to grab her when I would go do
my Costco runs which I do one or two times a month and I agreed her place is
about 25 minutes from me but I wanted to help her out and I was going there
anyway so it wasn't a problem for me there were also times when she wanted to
go to the mall or go out to eat so I would pick her up go to the place and
drop her off before getting home 25 minutes later myself I truly did not
mind this because she's one of my closest friends and I wanted to spend
time with her and help her out as well I never asked for gas money and EM had
paid for my meals a couple of times as a thank you which I appreciated mem
finally got a car last month and all is good we still talk and hang out mem had
a surgery on Tuesday where she would be on anesthesia so she called me last week
if I can drive her since the clinic was near my place I asked her what time and
she said it was at 7:15 a.m. I was driving at the time and said oh let me
look at my schedule and I'll let you know in a few and texted me then asking
if I could just drop her off at home and she could find a ride there I was still
driving so I didn't respond right away and then a few minutes later she
messaged me saying that it's okay she'll figure it out I told her sorry I was
driving but that I can drop her off after her appointment no problem I
explained if I picked her up before her appointment I would have to get up at
5:30 to get ready and leave my place by 6 so I can get her and that it's too
early for me but I have no problem getting her after her appointment she
replied I just don't want to be a burden and I reassured her that I'm fine with
getting her after she didn't reply to that but I thought nothing of it I tried
to do small talk with her a couple of days later but she only responded with a
thumbs up so I didn't say anything until Monday I asked if she needed me to pick
her up and she said no that she has it covered on Tuesday I texted her wishing
that the surgery went well and to let me
know if she needs help with anything got left unread with no reply since I'm
thinking about sending her a text later asking if I upset her but I'm honestly
flabbergasted that she's giving me this silent treatment over this I still
offered to get her just not both times it would still be an hour out of my day
to help her out and this was after all the other times I've driven her the
previous few months how should I bring this up to her honestly I feel like if
op's already tried to reach out a few times tried to make small talk about it
I would just probably leave her to herself and hope that at some point they
get over it and reach back out and shoot if they still need help dayto day they
probably will be reaching out sooner or later if anything though this would make
me extremely hesitant to consider doing so again in the future but with that
being said that's all the time we have for today now if you want to hear

the police after a bouncer took his driver's license my ex- fiance Greg has
a baby face he is 28 but could pass for 16 we were on vacation for Marty gr and
for some reason the bouncer thought he had the power to confiscate a
Wyoming driver's license Greg said fine we won't come and just give me back my
ID the bouncer said no and tossed it in the trash behind it I tried to pull Greg
away but he wouldn't let it go he called the non-emergency line but as you can
imagine they were kind of busy I told him that I would pay for a replacement I
said we had his passport since we were going on a cruise as part of our
vacation he didn't need his license back he was pissed that the cops wouldn't
help so he told the bouncer that he was going to his car to get his gun and get
his ID back then we left we heard from other people that the area was a
show afterward and the bucket full of fake or real ID got kicked over in the
rush and his ID was lost in the crowd Greg acted like it was all a big joke

I did what my husband wanted and now it's not enough refer back to my
previous post I decided to put my salon up for sale and come home to be a
stay-at-home mom but as the title says he's still upset with me now almost
every day I hear how I make him miserable he wants to divorce me I never
giveth only taketh his words I'm still currently working at my salon because it
hasn't sold yet he wants me to go ahead and be home I guess but I just really
don't understand what's going on I'm finally putting in motion what he wanted
so badly for me to do and it's like he hates me more now I just want my
marriage to work I'm giving up everything to do so and now I feel like
I'm giving up my whole livelihood to come home to be mistreated and probably
in the end just divorced anyways I mean if you had been trying to get your
spouse to quit their job for years and they finally start the process of doing
it what would be your stance my salon SL
clients have been a huge part of my life for the past eight years I'm very close
with all of them I have no support at home my husband doesn't talk to me about
really anything surface level much less my feelings about anything I've begged
him to go to counseling but he won't go he's going through a custody battle with
his first child and I think that may be what he wants to do with me too he's
mentioned that he would just give his lawyer a bigger retainer and they could
just fight us both at the same time the more I type this out the more stupid I
feel for putting my salon building up for sale but I love my husband and would
love nothing more than for us to have a good relationship and make it through
this ETA thank you all for your comments I don't know if it's the fact that I've
been gas lit for so long or what but since all of you have the same opinion I
want to make sure I'll am 100% honest to make sure that I've have given every
single bit of information I can to get accurate advice my husband pays for all
the house bills I pay my car note which I just paid off and for my child's
daycare he has a very demanding job that does pay for most of our expenses he
says my salon doesn't allow me to be home so I'll can do my responsibilities
here supper cooked every night laundry always done Som run any errand he needs
Etc he also wants me to sell my salon because when I bought it he put 30k in
it to renovate it so when I sell it I do have to give him that back he's made it
clear that this is not about what's best for me but what's best for the family
ETA again I am very blessed to have awesome parents that love me despite me
not having a ton to do with them since I've been with my husband it's always a
fight anytime they want us to go eat come over Etc I know that I could live
at one of their properties if something happened I'm also from the south where
the patriarchy is wild abuse has been widely used in these comments he's hit
me with an open hand on a few occasions one being here recently after a night
out I apparently disrespected him after he stormed out of the bar because the
band didn't play a song after he tipped them $20 bucks to play it he apparently
also got mad at me because the band said if you have ever had a broken heart let
me hear you scream I screamed and I guess that embarrassed him I obviously
have a lot to think about I also need to go see a counselor and a lawyer thank
you for all of your input it has helped me tremendously | give me a good story on Ididwhatmyhusbandwantedandnowitsnotenough |

:00.060 --> :06.060
This event has been over and done with :08.340 --> :09.416
now for a while, but I was browsing the
subreddit and figured I'd share the story,
:09.416 --> :09.960 if for no other reason than to air out
some unresolved feelings of frustration. :09.960 --> :16.020
My grandmother is, shall we say, a stubborn
person. Normally this stubbornness would
:16.020 --> :20.640 manifest itself as wanting to cook a meal a
certain way (even if she isn't the one cooking)
:20.640 --> :25.860
or simply not backing down about a disagreement
until she hears you say she's right and you're
:25.860 --> :30.540 wrong. Aggravating stuff but for the most
part we got along because I saw her in small
:30.540 --> :35.940
doses. I'm also her only grandchild so she was
thrilled whenever I would come visit, and that
:35.940 --> :41.100
largely outweighed any clashing we had. I got the
sense it was also because she felt determined to
:41.100 --> :46.020
have a good relationship with me after screwing
things up with my mom, her daughter. Long story
:46.020 --> :51.120
there and it's not mine to tell, but she went
no contact with my gran in high school and only
:51.120 --> :55.380 reconnected with her after I was born, but
things always remained tense between them. :55.380 --> :00.000
Anyways, things began when my grandmother's
lease went up and she didn't want to renew it,
:00.000 --> :04.500 so she moved out of her apartment and in
with us. This was not an arrangement any
:04.500 --> :08.160 of us were looking forward to, mainly
because my parents have been trying :08.160 --> :13.140
to move out of our house since they bought
it two decades prior, and also we all knew
:13.140 --> :18.240 prolonged exposure to my gran without a way
to escape would cause problems. But she's
:18.240 --> :22.800 family and even if none of us were psyched
about it, we're the only relatives she has,
:22.800 --> :27.180 so we did the right thing and took her
in. She was also not very excited about
:27.180 --> :31.500
it because it meant she would be giving up an
entire living space she'd been accustomed to. :31.500 --> :38.580
Living with her rapidly became difficult. She
is, put plainly, a slob. She would carry a box
:38.580 --> :44.160
of tissues with her everywhere, and when she used
the tissue, instead of throwing it out she would
:44.160 --> :50.040
jam it wherever she was sitting, so our living
room sofa quickly became a snotty mess. She would
:50.040 --> :54.900
take food upstairs and never bring it back down,
more than once our kitchen was entirely empty
:54.900 --> :01.500
of silverware, bowls, plates, etc. We had to go
upstairs and remove all the moldy, crusty dishes
:01.500 --> :06.480
and take them downstairs to be washed before we
could use them. We asked her multiple times if
:06.480 --> :11.340
she could help by just taking one dish down with
her whenever she used the stairs. She would smile,
:11.340 --> :16.260 nod, and then just not do it. Her bedroom
looked like an episode of Hoarders, :16.260 --> :21.900
because she used an ungodly amount of tissues
and would fill entire trash bags with them,
:21.900 --> :27.960
and that's not even counting the endless magazine
subscriptions. She would also drink excessively--I
:27.960 --> :31.680 used to run out to the store and get her
her favorite bottle of wine at her request,
:31.680 --> :38.640
and she quickly graduated to drinking an entire
large bottle in one, sometimes two days. It got
:38.640 --> :42.900 to the point that my parents and I had a
mini-intervention and told her point-blank
:42.900 --> :47.100
that we would not get her anymore. She started
getting it delivered to the house from online. :47.100 --> :53.820
One problem that affected me specifically was her
radio. Her bedroom was next to mine and the walls
:53.820 --> :59.400
had no insulation, so sound carried over easily
and she would blast the radio all through the
:59.400 --> :04.080 night, preventing me from getting any sleep.
Multiple times I would creep into her room at
:04.080 --> :09.660
night and turn it down, only for her to suddenly
wake up and turn it back on. Whenever I confronted
:09.660 --> :13.800 her about it she would get angry and say I
should accommodate her being hard of hearing,
:13.800 --> :19.980
and that I need to compromise--as if waiting until
2 am to try to turn it down wasn't compromise
:19.980 --> :24.900
enough. I bought her headphones, as well as a
special pillow with a speaker inside it, so that
:24.900 --> :29.700
she could better hear the radio without needing to
turn it up so loud. She never even opened the box. :29.700 --> :34.860
The spoiled food problem eventually got
so bad that there was a permanent smell,
:34.860 --> :39.480 and when she found bugs in her room she
freaked out and blamed it on the house,
:39.480 --> :44.880 which was a bald-faced lie because my dad
had gutted and remodeled the entire house
:44.880 --> :50.040
with his bare hands. It was bought originally as
a fixer-upper, hence why they were planning on
:50.040 --> :55.920 selling it. Also, literal piles of rotting
food tend to attract insects, who knew. :55.920 --> :01.860
She eventually developed pneumonia and also blamed
that on the house, even though by this point she
:01.860 --> :06.540
wasn't leaving her room and hadn't bathed once
in the six months she'd been living either us.
:06.540 --> :12.540
She even got my dad to screw metal handlebars into
the bathroom wall tile so she could use the tub,
:12.540 --> :18.060 but never used them once. She was prescribed
medicine for the pneumonia but would not take it,
:18.060 --> :23.160 eventually requiring a nebulizer because
of how severe it got. I think it actually
:23.160 --> :27.300 might have transformed into something
worse, but i can't remember the name. :27.300 --> :32.460
Two or three times she had to return to the
hospital because her condition worsened despite
:32.460 --> :37.500
everything we did to keep her room clean and make
sure she took her medicine. When this happened,
:37.500 --> :43.680
we would pull all the furniture out of her bedroom
and scrub the carpets, remove any mold and bugs,
:43.680 --> :48.900
and pick up any trash and rotting food. Instead
of being grateful or changing her habits,
:48.900 --> :53.280 she would be upset that we touched her
belongings and "violated her privacy". :53.280 --> :58.800
The damage that she was doing to that room also
meant that selling the house was impossible,
:58.800 --> :04.200
but her presence there meant the room would never
have an opportunity to improve or be worked on. :04.200 --> :08.220
It was around the second hospital trip
that she started taking the little trash
:08.220 --> :13.260 cans we had scattered around the house
and using them as toilets. For context,
:13.260 --> :17.940 the upstairs bathroom bathroom is literally
next door to her room, she just couldn't
:17.940 --> :23.700 be bothered to go to it. I vividly remember
picking up a plastic can and it being full of
:23.700 --> :28.320
urine. She also had an incredibly old cat that
she'd brought with her who was a sweetheart,
:28.320 --> :33.540 but would defile the room with her waste
because my gran couldn't clean the box herself. :33.540 --> :38.580
I'm definitely forgetting more things she did,
but one thing I remember was my parents had
:38.580 --> :43.800
gone away for the weekend and my boyfriend at
the time came over. We ordered Indian takeout,
:43.800 --> :49.260 which I knew my gran loves, so we offered to
get her something as well. She took us up on it,
:49.260 --> :55.260
and my boyfriend paid for it despite my protests.
We gave her her food, only for her to call us
:55.260 --> :00.180
back a few minutes later. She told my boyfriend
that the rice in the takeout was the wrong kind
:00.180 --> :05.460 and that she would not be eating it, could
he please take it away? I was flabbergasted
:05.460 --> :10.380
my the rudeness of it all. My parents scolded
her about how inappropriate that is to act,
:10.380 --> :14.760 especially toward someone who isn't
even a relative, but she tuned them out. :14.760 --> :20.640
Not once did she ever say thank you. Not when
we cleaned her room, or bought her groceries,
:20.640 --> :25.320 or cleaned up her waste, nothing. My
mom wanted nothing to do with her, :25.320 --> :30.720
my dad wanted to help but was too busy with
work to really do anything, and even he reached
:30.720 --> :35.400 his limit when her lifestyle began to damage
the house. I was the most sympathetic to her,
:35.400 --> :40.200 but she would summon me and ask me to do
things, then send me away as if she were
:40.200 --> :44.700 dismissing a servant. Even when I called her
out on it, she didn't express any gratitude. :44.700 --> :49.500
I fully believe that she was exhibiting
a textbook case of Diogenes Syndrome, :49.500 --> :55.380
or senile squalor syndrome, because all of the
behavior matched. She was depressed about not
:55.380 --> :00.120
having her own space anymore. We were sympathetic
to that and tried to get her out of her room many
:00.120 --> :06.480
times. But she fought us every time, and would
refuse to admit her behavior was unhealthy. When
:06.480 --> :12.060
we would point out how ungrateful and rude her
behavior was, she would get defensive and end
:12.060 --> :18.360
the conversation. She needed psychological help.
At the very least she needed some sort of cleaning
:18.360 --> :24.360
service or in-home nurse aid, but she refused
the idea of one every time it was brought up.
:24.360 --> :30.240 Her behavior caused so much stress that the
entire family was on edge and at each other's
:30.240 --> :34.980
throats. It eventually reached a point where we
admitted to ourselves that we were unfit to care
:34.980 --> :40.020
for her because she needed professional help.
We brought it up to her and she shut down the
:40.020 --> :46.740
conversation so fast. I understand not wanting to
go a nursing home. I don't begrudge her that. But
:46.740 --> :51.420
she would insist that she was independent when
the fact was that if we ignored her requests,
:51.420 --> :56.580
she'd be unable to fend for herself. She told
us her solution was to keep things as they were,
:56.580 --> :00.420 as long as we did things for her she
could take care of herself (because :00.420 --> :05.160
that's definitely what independence is).
It was like talking to a brick wall. :05.160 --> :09.960
One day while everyone was out of the house, we
received a call that she had tried to go down our
:09.960 --> :15.900
stairs, fell, and broke her back. The fall was not
lethal nor would it cause any permanent damage,
:15.900 --> :21.300
which was a relief. But it meant that she would
require lots of physical therapy and caregivers.
:21.300 --> :25.680 The hospital assigned her a social worker,
I think because of the care she would need,
:25.680 --> :30.240 but she refused them by citing that her
family (us) would take care of her needs. :30.240 --> :35.400
My father and I work full time and my mother
has a slew of health problems and chronic pain
:35.400 --> :40.860
that make it difficult for her even to look after
herself at times. The idea that all three of us,
:40.860 --> :45.420 even if we weren't fed up with her, would be
able to drop everything and take care of was
:45.420 --> :51.420
as hilarious as it was insulting. When she told
us that was her plan, we had become so embittered
:51.420 --> :56.400
toward her that our decision was easier than it
should have been. We removed all of her belongings
:56.400 --> :01.500
from the house and put them into the storage unit
that contained the rest of her items she'd moved
:01.500 --> :06.540
out of her old place with. We called the social
worker and told her in no uncertain terms that she
:06.540 --> :10.800
would not be allowed to move back in with us,
and would need to find another place to live. :10.800 --> :16.920
She was furious. She sent a slew of emails
threatening to sue for wrongful eviction (she
:16.920 --> :21.780
didn't pay rent and signed no contract with us)
and theft of property (because we had touched
:21.780 --> :25.500 her stuff, but we technically returned it
to her because it didn't belong with us,
:25.500 --> :30.960
and my dad paid for that storage unit). Those
emails stopped pretty quickly when it became clear
:30.960 --> :35.520
she wouldn't have a case and wouldn't be able
to intimidate us into letting her move back in. :35.520 --> :40.680
When she was discharged, she did go to an assisted
living facility that the hospital partners with.
:40.680 --> :45.840 She stayed there until she'd recovered, and
despite everything being in the hospital
:45.840 --> :51.120
environment and the care facility improved the
rest of her health a lot. But instead of staying,
:51.120 --> :56.760
as soon as she was able to discharge herself, she
did. She moved into a hotel and has been there
:56.760 --> :02.640
since. I visited a few times to deliver some stuff
that had been left behind. Each time I visited the
:02.640 --> :07.500
hotel room was in a worse state. We're pretty sure
she'd been refusing room service because she's
:07.500 --> :13.440
embarrassed by it, but without anyone cleaning
it's become caked in mold, dirty cat litter, and
:13.440 --> :18.540
unwashed clothes. It's been over a year now and I
shudder to think what that place looks like now. :18.540 --> :23.100
It's terrible, but at this point we are basically
just waiting for the call that tells us she's
:23.100 --> :28.680
passed. I know that her age and mind are partial
causes of this, but there is only so much behavior
:28.680 --> :33.420
and borderline abuse you can excuse away with
that. Family accounts from relatives that go
:33.420 --> :39.600
back decades before I was born also confirm that
this is just how she is and has always been. I've
:39.600 --> :44.280
moved in with my partner and my parents moved to
their dream home, and none of us have any contact
:44.280 --> :49.800
with her. And she has no one to blame but herself.
I'm not sorry that she's essentially getting her
:49.800 --> :25.500
comeuppance, but I'm not happy about it either.
So I pulled my mom down during her lunch break to
:25.500 --> :30.900
talk to her. Just for a quick preface, me and my
mom work in the same hospital. She, like I stated
:30.900 --> :35.520 before, is a nurse while I am just a barista
at the café on the main floor of the building. :35.520 --> :40.740
I asked her why she never stuck up for me when it
came to pops and she tried to use every excuse she
:40.740 --> :46.620
could. Saying "You need to let it go" I told her
"I've been letting it go for 10 years now! And I
:46.620 --> :51.240
deserve an explanation to why you would let a man
who has told me from day one he is not my father
:51.240 --> :57.000
and made me fear him rather than love him do what
he has done to me for so long." She tried to say
:57.000 --> :02.700
that if she intervenes that things would only get
worse and he would explode. I told her "Good. Let
:02.700 --> :08.400
him explode. Let his probably last daughter see
him for how he truly is, and call the police." :08.400 --> :14.280
She finally caved. She explained that she DOES
NOT want to be married to him because of his
:14.280 --> :19.620
actions. She said he won't let her put anything
in her name. The house, the cars, none of it is
:19.620 --> :25.080
in her name. I asked "Why not leave and use your
savings to get by for awhile? I'm sure living
:25.080 --> :29.640
in an apartment and getting a less expensive car
would certainly be better than dealing with him."
:29.640 --> :35.580
She admitted to me she used all her savings to
get herself through nursing school. Now I should
:35.580 --> :39.960
say that the nursing school my mother went to
was a bit different than a normal one. Rather
:39.960 --> :46.020
than go through years of college, spacing out the
classes they cram everything into one super high
:46.020 --> :52.860
stress school year. The program isn't cheap but
has an EXTREMELY high hiring rate at nearly 100%
:52.860 --> :58.920
of students get hired into a hospital or clinic
before they even fully graduate. My mom had done
:58.920 --> :04.500
this program in 2020 while my dad was deployed
and then covid hit. Me and my sister were stuck
:04.500 --> :10.980
in online school but my mom was not. So her school
work coupled with both her kids stuck at home and
:10.980 --> :16.500
no support from my dad other than him barking
orders at her over the phone stressed her out so
:16.500 --> :21.720
much that she failed at the tail end of the school
year. The class would kick you out if your grade
:21.720 --> :28.140
dropped below a 70% And she unfortunately missed
one to many questions on one of her last tests
:28.140 --> :32.520 but the director of the program begged her
to come back again the next year because she
:32.520 --> :38.280
knew my mom could do it. It used the last of her
savings but she did it but now has to earn back
:38.280 --> :43.320
all that money. She told me it's hard because now
that she has a job, my dad thinks he can just buy
:43.320 --> :48.120
whatever he wants. I've heard her get onto him
multiple times for spending money on PlayStation
:48.120 --> :53.700
but he always says "I thought the new call of duty
weapon pack looked cool so I bought it. Whatever,
:53.700 --> :59.520 it's MY money anyway." or how he instead of
putting things in the amazon cart and talking
:59.520 --> :04.320 to my mom about it will just now buy it if
he feels like it. I told my mom that I can
:04.320 --> :10.080
sympathize with that but asked why she never told
me and rather made it seem like I was alone in my
:10.080 --> :16.500
dislike for his actions. She told me "It's an
adult situation." I said "Mom. I'm 19, gonna be
:16.500 --> :23.280
20 in June. I AM an adult. I have 2 jobs and even
pay or help on some of the bills and groceries.
:23.280 --> :29.100
You should've told me a longtime ago whether I was
an adult or not." She apologized and said she was
:29.100 --> :33.660
ashamed of herself. She than explained that she
understood that I was right and that I didn't
:33.660 --> :38.460
need to deal with his bull sh*t any longer than
I already have and that she would help me find a
:38.460 --> :43.260
place. Even offered to help me talk to my friends
family and see if I can't go back home with them
:43.260 --> :49.020
after their trip as a temporary place to stay. But
she asked that when I leave to not to do it in a
:49.020 --> :54.540
super dramatic way and to just either leave when
he gets deployed for a month in April or to tell
:54.540 --> :59.340
him way before hand and to make sure there's no
way he can try to shoot it down. She said there
:59.340 --> :04.500
isn't anything she can do about the car and she
knew he wouldn't let me take it but she offered
:04.500 --> :10.320
to ask some friends and co-workers to help me move
whenever I find a place and are able to leave. :10.320 --> :15.480
So I guess mom is on my side. I told her
I appreciate it but it will take longer
:15.480 --> :20.160 for me to forgive her for letting him
hurt me all these years and she said she
:20.160 --> :24.900 understands and will likely never forgive
herself for it either. I will update you
:24.900 --> :28.860 guys with another post when the situation
changes. Thank you all for your support,
:28.860 --> :41.460 it means the world to me and feels
amazing letting this off my chest. read. :59.280 --> :04.260
So, for months I already had in mind that
my father might be an entitled parent, :04.260 --> :09.300
since he always has in mind that I MUST
do everything he says immediately just :09.300 --> :13.920
because he's my dad. Well, I guess that
was just a supposition... Until now. :13.920 --> :19.560
Today I'd have my second Krav Maga class this week
(for those who don't know, it's a self-defense
:19.560 --> :25.200
martial art), which I do just for fun and to make
some physical activities. My dad asked me earlier
:25.200 --> :29.700
to take the clothes that were just been washed,
and I said I'd do it when I was going to take a
:29.700 --> :35.340
shower. At first he didn't say anything about it,
so I stayed in my room watching some videos. After
:35.340 --> :40.500
some time, he came in questioning about my future,
like "How are you going to live alone someday if
:40.500 --> :45.420
you can't even do what I tell you?" (That because
I said that next year I'll hopefully live alone in
:45.420 --> :50.520
another city due to university and crap). I took
a deep breath and said "I told you I was going
:50.520 --> :55.980
to do it before taking a shower" and he started
screaming saying that I was being disrespectful
:55.980 --> :01.260
and that I must do what he tells me to do because
he pays for everything here. After that, I asked
:01.260 --> :06.780
him "Why do you need to yell? I'm talking normally
to you" and he interrupted me saying "I'M YELLING
:06.780 --> :11.820
BECAUSE YOU'RE BEING FREAKING DISRESPECTFUL TO
ME", and that continued for a couple of minutes. :11.820 --> :16.440
After hearing lots of yelling, I went to do
what he told me while he was still yelling
:16.440 --> :21.600
and saying I'll have no future, that I'm being
disrespectful and... Yeah, all those entitled
:21.600 --> :26.400
parent arguments you already know. After that,
I said "Ok, I'm doing what you told me to,
:26.400 --> :31.080
can you please stop yelling now? No one needs
to hear that we're arguing" and guess what:
:31.080 --> :37.020
He yelled even more and came close to me, trying
to intimidate me as he was almost spitting on
:37.020 --> :42.660
my face while talking to me. As I learned on the
Krav Maga classes, I kept my hand raised in case
:42.660 --> :48.360
he tried to punch me or something, but started
to pop my fingers, and he saw that and said "Oh,
:48.360 --> :53.160
you raised your freaking hands?? What are you
gonna do, huh? Punch me??? Then do it, come on!
:53.160 --> :58.680
I wanna see if you're brave enough!". I, again,
took a deep breath and said "I'm just popping my
:58.680 --> :03.360
fingers.." and he went away saying he wouldn't
let me do the Krav Maga classes anymore because
:03.360 --> :09.300
I was "using it against him", thing that made me
really freaking angry, but I managed to stay calm
:09.300 --> :14.220 and don't start yelling like him, since then
I'd just destroy every point I had until then. :14.220 --> :19.860
In the end, after lots of yelling from him, I
tried to say that he was being childish because
:19.860 --> :24.000 he always yells and tells me to shut up when
I say something and that he doesn't even try
:24.000 --> :29.340
to hear what I say, and he said "I don't need
to hear what you say! You have no autonomy in
:29.340 --> :33.900 this house! Once you start paying for your
things I'll start trying to hear you!" and
:33.900 --> :38.580 it ended with me saying "I really hope you
think about what I said here. I wanna live
:38.580 --> :42.240 peacefully with you, thing that won't
happen if you continue being like that". :42.240 --> :46.080
Well... I think that was just another
reason to start making some money to :46.080 --> :09.180
live alone as soon as possible... So today
was my grandpa's birthday lunch and we sat
:09.180 --> :14.940
on a restaurant. My mother couldnt stop doing not
very pretty comments like how slow i was eating,
:14.940 --> :21.660
or how i should instead "watch" rather than eat
all with that snobish faked accent. Then she went
:21.660 --> :26.520
a step further by saying to my dad that i hurted
her that morning (a thing that wasnt true btw).
:26.520 --> :31.980
After some more mocking of my mother she said
it was a "torture to eat with me and my sister"
:31.980 --> :37.380
which i answered that she was the torture. Then
i cannot remmember what happened because was too
:37.380 --> :42.900 fast. My mom said i was somehow spoiling the
party and everyone was looking at us(on an
:42.900 --> :47.520
empty isle of the restaurant...) and she went
outside to smoke and we havent talk since yet. :47.520 --> :53.340
At first i though i did spoilt in indead so i
said sorry to my grandpa but now that i think
:53.340 --> :22.740
this was pretty surreal. For context, I’m a 25F
living in a different country than my parents.
:22.740 --> :29.100
I live in an expensive city where I pay my own
bills. I work and study full-time. I was recently
:29.100 --> :34.320 promoted from being an intern to a full-time
employee and the first thing my dad says is
:34.320 --> :40.620
“oh so you’re giving us your first salary?” It was
more telling than asking. All my life I’ve heard
:40.620 --> :47.640
my dad say “I will die the day I have to take a
single penny from you.” The irony. Moreover, they
:47.640 --> :53.700
are well-to-do. Anyway, knowing the narcissistic
rage I’d face if I didn’t heed them, I gave them
:53.700 --> :59.160 all my salary and dug into my savings for my
expenses. I also just recently paid for a part
:59.160 --> :06.060
of my sibling’s (20M) vacation when he visited me.
And yet, they go around telling people how I “used
:06.060 --> :11.940
them” only because I am opinionated, like to be
independent and want to marry the man I’ve loved
:11.940 --> :17.700
for 8 years as opposed to the man they would have
arranged for me. It makes me so upset and angry. :17.700 --> :23.520
My parents are narcissists so I’ve had my fair
share of physical, emotional and verbal abuse
:23.520 --> :27.900 since my childhood. I was sent away to
a boarding school in a different country
:27.900 --> :34.140
as a means of punishment when I was 11 because I
started “acting out” (lying to go hang out with
:34.140 --> :39.840 friends) due to physical and emotional abuse
at home. So, I basically grew up independently
:39.840 --> :46.440
and learnt everything on my own. I knew financial
independence was my only ticket to freedom. By 18,
:46.440 --> :53.160
I learnt some skills, got part-time gigs. Then I
did tons of internships, saved up, bought gifts
:53.160 --> :57.300 for my family because it was expected of me.
I love buying presents for my friends though. :57.300 --> :02.340
At 22, I had to pursue a masters degree
because there was a threat of an arranged
:02.340 --> :07.800
marriage and I felt that studying in a foreign
university would buy me time and some physical
:07.800 --> :14.280
distance . I knew my parents would use financial
means to control me so I suggested taking a loan
:14.280 --> :19.800 to pay for my education. My dad turned
the house upside down and was seething :19.800 --> :25.380
with so much anger at the mere suggestion.
Anyway, all while I’m studying full-time,
:25.380 --> :32.460
I’m also working full-time to pay my bills. It
was exhausting. My parents just piled on with
:32.460 --> :37.440 nasty and hurtful comments every chance they
got because they felt I was enjoying my life. :37.440 --> :44.388
I graduated top of my class, got a good job and
yet nothing makes them happy. All I hear is “you
:44.388 --> :50.160
are in this position only because I worked so hard
to provide for you,” and “we gave birth to you and
:50.160 --> :55.740
you should respect us.” So then, I am coerced into
giving them my salary while I actually need it to
:55.740 --> :00.780
sustain myself. On top of that, they treat me
badly and say crap about me to their friends.
:00.780 --> :05.940
I might not have minded giving them my salary,
but for parents who never treated me like a human
:05.940 --> :37.560
being and have so much pride, this infuriates
me and yet I feel helpless. Hello everyone. Hope
:37.560 --> :41.400 everyone had a good Valentine's day. I have
an interesting story to tell you all about
:41.400 --> :47.100
my grandma. Now this is entirely new behavior
from her and it honestly doesn't make sense. :47.100 --> :51.960
I recently started growing my hair out. It's
not terribly long right now but it's getting
:51.960 --> :56.940 to a length I'm happy with. And my grandma
wants to cut it. Not take me to a barber,
:56.940 --> :00.600 physically cut it herself.
I of course object to this, :00.600 --> :05.400
I hate getting my hair cut and didn't want
to get any major hair cuts anymore. The minor
:05.400 --> :10.200
cuttings to get rid of dead hair I could deal
with. But my grandma isn't having any of it. :10.200 --> :15.720
She whines that it'd make me look better for
school and for photos. Of course I tell her
:15.720 --> :21.060
that if I'm getting my senior photos done, I'm
dressing how I look when I finish highschool. None
:21.060 --> :27.000
of this suit and tie BS, I'm doing a comfortable
hoodie, pants, basketball shoes, and long hair.
:27.000 --> :31.977
Here is a conversation of her and me going back
and forth about it (G for grandma, M for me) :31.977 --> :35.880
G) I just want you to look good for your
pictures. What happened to my baby boy? :35.880 --> :41.760
M) Grandma what are you on about. I'm still me,
I'm just growing up, and as for my pictures,
:41.760 --> :46.140 I'm gonna be dressing how I want to
dress. I'm not conforming to anyone. :46.140 --> :50.820
G) But these photos will be the ones that
everyone remembers what you look like in
:50.820 --> :54.840 your senior year. And everyone wants
you to look nice. It's not only me. :54.840 --> :00.180
M) Grandma I understand why you want me to look
a certain way, but I don't want to dress in a
:00.180 --> :04.620 way that won't be a representation of who I
am. I want to be remembered the way I want
:04.620 --> :10.200
to be remembered. Not how anyone else wants me
to be. I'm sorry but that's my final decision. :10.200 --> :14.520
Now that's just one interaction. She
hasn't dropped it since I moved in :14.520 --> :19.320
with my mom. See my previous posts
for that info. I love my grandma and :19.320 --> :22.860
I understand where she's coming from
with the photos but I also want to :22.860 --> :27.060
be remembered in a way that represents
me. I'm not gonna be fake for anyone. :27.900 --> :39.600
Sorry for the rant but this has been bugging me
:39.600 --> :59.640
for a while. Hope everyone has a good week. I'll
see all you lovely people in the commentsSo this
:59.640 --> :06.900
happened around 2009/2010(i forgot), it was the
24th of December and we were having a family lunch
:06.900 --> :11.760
at one of our favorite restaurants. My parents
and I were eating and my mom brought up the topic
:11.760 --> :17.700
that tomorrow is her birthday. My dad responded
with, "Okay, tomorrow we can go to the mall and
:17.700 --> :24.000
buy some shoes". My mom's face turned sour and
she sulked and stayed quiet the whole trip back. :24.000 --> :28.260
When we reached my dad's apartment building,
my dad dropped us off as he had to return
:28.260 --> :33.720 to work. My mom starts talking about how
stingy my dad is and how for his birthday,
:33.720 --> :39.840
my mom bought him clothes, a rolex, etc. When we
reached the apartment, we sat down in the room and
:39.840 --> :45.360
my mom called my dad. I still remember her exact
words, they were "I don't want to fight okay,
:45.360 --> :52.320
I don't want to fight. If you don't want to give
me present... DOOOOOOOOOOOONT (yes, the O was very
:52.320 --> :57.780
long) give me present! I don't want to fight!"
She then hangs the phone up before my dad could
:57.780 --> :03.180
say anything. After the call, she then lays on
the bed with her back slightly upwards, telling
:03.180 --> :09.420
me these exact words (with my name changed, obv).
"SLMoon, mommy don't need present SLMoon.. Mommy
:09.420 --> :16.200
only need SLMoon and daddy love mommy. Mommy don't
need present SLMoon!" with a sad but strong face. :16.200 --> :19.920
The evening when my dad came back from
work, she just stayed in the room, :19.920 --> :25.140
pretending like nobody came home so my dad
carried on with his day. When midnight came,
:25.140 --> :30.720
my dad and I wished her a happy birthday. The next
morning, we decided to go to TGIF and the whole
:30.720 --> :36.000
car ride she was looking outside the window with
a sulk on her face. We then sat at a long table,
:36.000 --> :42.180 then "coincidentally" met my dad's best
friend and his family. We ate together and
:42.180 --> :47.460 after a short period of time, waiters all
came to deliver her cake which was ordered
:47.460 --> :52.260 and booked MONTHS prior to her birthday.
They all sang her happy birthday and some
:52.260 --> :57.360 other birthday songs which I didn't know.
My mom's face turned red with a huge smile,
:57.360 --> :02.640
she then made a speech with the ketchup bottle;
she made a short speech. Gifts were later given
:02.640 --> :08.280
by the waiters as he had asked them to "hide"
them. She was so happy that day, and of course
:08.280 --> :14.340 me being the prankster than I am made fun of
her phone call while laughing my butt off. xD :14.340 --> :49.800
So here's my first post, sorry if there wasn't
any conflict like other posts. Hope you enjoy! | give me a good story on rEntitledParentsHOWISURPRISEDMYMOMONHERBIRTHDAYRedditStoriesen |

wibta if I skip my BFS graduation pictures to see my sister's dance
recital please help I genuinely don't know what to do and whatever I choose
someone will still be hurt for context my BF M24 and I F20 have been together
for 2.5 years my sister F14 is a freshman in high school and has followed
my footsteps and joining the school dance team I'm saying this BC I know how
hard these girls work all year attending football games pep rallies competitions
and now the final recital to close out the school year which is this Friday at
7:00 p.m. I try my best to show up for her dance events BC was always at mine
even if it was force LOL and we are just very very close and I hated when she
couldn't come to my dance event so at the feeling of not having your besti be
there for support I've been planning on going to the show since she joined the
team last year but didn't know the exact date till about a month ago all this to
say my boyfriend's graduation pictures are at 600 p.m. the same day on our
college campus the thing is my sister show and my hometown is 3 hours away my
BF has had to reschedule the pictures twice already and this is the only
photographer that has good quality pictures for a decent price he wants me
to be there not only to support him but to take care of his dog basically ours
at P let's call him Greg while he's being photographed so Greg can can join
in on some of the pics and we can all get one together as well really we can
get pictures together when I graduate this fall so that's not the main issue
it's just Greg BC there's no one else to watch him and my BF only gets a
45-minute session when I brought this up
to BF and my mom they both felt hurt and that I don't give them enough time
obviously I see my BF more BC we live in
the same town and go to the same college and I visit my family as often as I can
it's just been hard recently with work and me and my BF also had to take a last
minute trip over spring break to see his sick Uncle he is Parkinson's and we
don't know how much longer he has my thing is it's just pictures and we can
make up for them when I graduate but at the same time he only graduates once and
while he does have friends here he wants my support for the pictures and I don't
want to miss my sister's performance it's her first year on the high school
team and it's a big deal for her I don't want to miss either one but would I be
the for skipping my BF grad pictures it gets long but I tried to
give as much detail as I could I'm a big fan of the tht show I definitely need
some advice ASAP though update thankfully he was able to get the
pictures rescheduled for the day before so that problem is solved I also ended
up apologizing to my mom for even considering missing the recital I
mentioned this in the comments but my BF was making a very big deal about me
missing and I think that got to my head I'm very close with my mom so I went to
her for advice but now I know I shouldn't have BC I know it hurt her
thinking I would even do that to my baby sister thank you for all the advice I
truly appreciated every comment even if I didn't reply if y'all are curious
before the pictures got rescheduled we were able to agree that I should go see
my sister's recital but we don't have to worry about me missing pictures anymore

I made my depressed friend homeless for my own comfort in November a friend 28m
mentioned that he was currently homeless and alternating between living with his
sister and her big family in a trailer and his car with his cat I 31f offered
to let him live in my storage room spare bedroom to get back on his feet there
was no rent or utilities discussed he's never paid a dime him staying here has
always been understood to be a temporary thing but no actual time limit had been
disgust he's been a very considerate roommate he stays in his room most of
time he cleans up his messes he's polite
Etc and I absolutely cannot stand living
with him I've lived alone since I was 19
and I hate hate hate having someone else in my private space I thought I'd be
okay but I'm tense and on edge all the time listening for his footsteps
breathing anything I had a very abusive childhood and until I moved into my own
apartment I was never safe at home I get unreasonably annoyed at the tiniest
pettiest things I want my house back I want to make soup and french toast at
3:00 a.m. I want to vacuum at 10 p.m. super petty like that however he
has nowhere to go he's getting a student loan check in 2 weeks but other than
that he has no income rent is through the roof and we live in a housing desert
when I moved out at 19 I paid doll 780 for a one-bedroom apartment by myself
he's looking at over1 1,200 for an apartment the same size I genuinely
think he won't be able to afford or qualify for any apartment in town and he
hasn't done anything really wrong to me I'm just neurotic would I be the
for telling him I'd like him to leave by the 1st of February how about the 1 of
March update 1 we just had the uncomfortable conversation and I went in
softly I did not end up giving him a deadline at this time I reminded him
this was temporary and grilled him on what he's been doing to look for for an
apartment he admitted he had been doing nothing and he had absolutely no plans
no leads and hasn't made any attempt however I think he will leave soon of
his own valtion he is very conflict avoidant and I'm very Furious after he
admitted that he hadn't been looking for
a place to live nor was he looking for a job I told him that the place where I
work my second job was hiring he told me
he had a confession to make I smoke weed no Sherlock I can smell it every
day it's super strong and my entire house smells like weed it just wasn't a
problem since I smoke sometimes too would have been nice if you asked but
whatever anyway he says he can't get a job because he smokes weed and thinks he
can't pass a drug test I suggested he stopped smoking weed for a couple weeks
he kind of went May so if he legitimately believes he can't get a job
because of weed in his urine he's choosing daily weed over being a
self-sufficient adult I think it's an excuse he would rather smoke pot than
get a job so I should support him that's
the actual choice he's making I reminded him several times that him staying with
me was always a temporary thing he needed to start planning to leave but he
could take a couple months get on his feet I'll help him get on his feet and
get a plan in place I explained why I was incredibly clear and repeated myself
several times now I'll be pinning down his conflict avoidant ass for
uncomfortable conversations about job applications and housing resources at
least twice a week I'm going to be getting info from managers employees at
a bunch of different places about how they don't care about weed in the Yuri
it's legal where we live I'm going to be researching and finding info on housing
resources apartments for sale and all that research is one of my strongest
skills I'm going to be so helpful that the only way he'll be able
to avoid getting a job is to move himself out and if that doesn't work by
the time he gets his big check in a couple weeks I'll give him the March
deadline I think Miss nice girl just flew out the window and I'm going to be
making french toast at 3:00 a.m. with no
shame update 2 he came out of his room a little while after our conversation and
told me he's moving back in with his sister tonight I told him he didn't need
to I wasn't kicking him out I just wanted him to start planning and getting
ready to be on his own he was in a passive aggressive rage though packed
all his things except his cat and moved out I now have another cat I don't know
if at some point he'll want the cat back or not he's gone I'm on my way to Home
Depot I'm changing the locks tonight | give me a good story on IMADEmyDepressedFriendHOMELESSForMyOwnComfort |

AIT for refusing to wear white at my brother-in-law's gender reveal party my
brother-in-law is hosting a gender reveal party for his first child let's
call brother-in-law Sam I'll be using fake names so Sam invited my fiance Dean
again fictional name yes I'm using Supernatural characters because I have
no creativity LOL and told him I should be his plus one okay nothing wrong with
that I thought it a bit odd because the invite said the following every guest in
their plus ones must each bring gifts to the party yours is medium diapers 108
pants or more plus a gift to Mom and Dad
the sheer Audacity Of asking mom and dad had a gift and not the baby moving on
the invite didn't set a word about the dress code so I thought of wearing
business casual which is what I wear on a daily basis it wasn't until yesterday
I found out Sam and his girlfriend wanted all the invitees to wear allh I
freaked out because Dean my fiance has an old all-white formal attire he's
borrowing from his dad but my family in general just hates white clothes so
obviously I had nothing not even a shirt I asked Sam if it's okay if I choose to
wear a jumpsuit and showed him a picture I'll attach here the style it's pretty
close of what I wear on a daily basis so I thought maybe I could pair this with
black or maybe chose a color to go with it and use it afterward | give me a good story on AITAforrefusingtowearwhiteatmybrotherinlawsgenderrevealparty |

19 hours ago :06.710 --> :11.950
My brother and SIL put my unknowing teenage niece into a lifetime of debt
:11.950 --> :15.260 M My bro and sil are extremely irresponsible
:15.260 --> :20.130 with money to the point they have already
been bankrupt twice and are working on #3 :20.130 --> :24.620
right now it just hasn’t been enough years
yet since the last time. They both owe over :24.620 --> :30.269
$150,000 in student loan and credit cards
plus they owe more on their home than it’s :30.269 --> :34.460
worth because they take out every cent of
equity they gain immediately saying they are :34.460 --> :39.030
going to pay off debt with it but blow it on more impulsive luxury buys.
:39.030 --> :43.430 They have 3 kids, the oldest is 18 and in
college. I just found out that they took out :43.430 --> :49.560
massive student loans (in the kids name exclusively)
way beyond what was necessary and they blew :49.560 --> :54.260
it on themselves! They already scammed the
kid out of her life savings last summer buying :54.260 --> :59.100
her a car but they pulled a switch on her
by purchasing a manual transmission that she :59.100 --> :02.910
doesn’t know how to drive. I know they did
it on purpose because my bro wanted the new :02.910 --> :07.520
car for himself and said it was a fair trade
to give her the old beat up ugly mini van :07.520 --> :11.610
instead but didn’t give her the money she put up for the new car back.
:11.610 --> :16.330 The in laws set up a college fund for her
as a small child and every holiday instead :16.330 --> :21.600
of gifts money was put in. When it came time
to use the money she discovered it was all :21.600 --> :27.450
gone. They spent it all behind her back and
she had no idea until she needed it and found :27.450 --> :28.450 out.
:28.450 --> :32.299 I just found out that they got her deep into
student loan debt way beyond what she needed :32.299 --> :37.040
and she hasn’t even started her second year
yet. They thought Biden was going to forgive :37.040 --> :43.780
$20k so they went and blew through it thinking
it’s free money! This poor kid has no idea :43.780 --> :48.070
the magnitude of what they have done to her
long term. They screwed up their own lives :48.070 --> :53.070
and finances beyond repair and just couldn’t
resist taking advantage of their own kid by :53.070 --> :58.259
putting her deep in the hole where she will
never be able to pay it off or will be trying :58.259 --> :03.630
for the rest of her life. The career path
she is pursuing is not a high earning job :03.630 --> :08.360
so she is already going to struggle with supporting
herself on her own after college. I don’t :08.360 --> :12.270
think she knows how much debt is being racked
up in her name and if she decides to quit :12.270 --> :17.100
school or choose another path she will be stuck with a huge payment regardless.
:17.100 --> :21.519 Tuition is super cheap as she stayed in state
so they could have easily paid out of pocket :21.519 --> :26.610
and avoided putting her into the same situation
they are in. I am disgusted at the level of :26.610 --> :32.810
entitlement they have to literally rob their
own kid out of every cent she had which wasn’t :32.810 --> :38.390
much to begin with then proceeded to sentence
her to massive debt for life on top of it :38.390 --> :44.920
so they can keep spending frivolously on everything
from eating out every meal, new tech gadgets, :44.920 --> :49.709
trips, 2 new cars for themselves, clothes and home decor etc.
:49.709 --> :53.950 They owe my parents tens of thousands for
all the bailouts to save their house from :53.950 --> :59.870
foreclosure several times. It would take all
day to go over all the rotten greedy entitled :59.870 --> :05.540
things they do but screwing over your own
kid is next level and they have 2 more kids :05.540 --> :12.520
to take advantage of coming up besides. :12.520 --> :27.400 Posted by

:42.280 --> :53.860 My aunt bullcraps me and thinks she can freak
:53.860 --> :56.220 me up with 3 euros an hour. S
:56.220 --> :02.500 My aunt hired me to work for her as a helper
(i'm 12 but I consented(my worst idea)) and :02.500 --> :08.530
pays me 3 euros an hour and wants me to:sweep
the entire place(about 500meters cubed), clean :08.530 --> :14.200
her setup and tools, wash the dishes, prepare
for the clients and go shop for her to name :14.200 --> :19.910
a few and when i asked for at least 50 cents
more she told me to shush and I yelled at :19.910 --> :24.930
her but that bench wouldn't budge. She called
my dad and I got sent home and won't even :24.930 --> :45.979
get paid for today. (I've worked for 3 days now) Whose
:45.979 --> :47.280 in the wrong? :47.280 --> :50.430

:53.580 --> :04.690 I almost got my Legos stolen at Lego land S
:04.690 --> :08.270 So today I posted on here for the first time
today (if you want to read it that you can :08.270 --> :13.230
go to my post history) and it made me remember
some other stories so here is one of them. :13.230 --> :18.041
Over I think fall break one year my parents
took my brother and I to Lego land (I was :18.041 --> :24.200
and still am a huge Lego fan). Anyway at the
time Ninjago was a huge deal and I got Jay :24.200 --> :28.970
and Garmadon minifigs and brought them to
breakfast to play with. For more info the :28.970 --> :34.150
breakfast was only for people staying in the
hotel and they would use large 2x2 Lego bricks :34.150 --> :39.310
to mark which tables were taken. Now I sat
down with my 2 minifigs and the restaurant :39.310 --> :45.020
was a buffet so I got up shortly after my
parents and left my minifigs at the table :45.020 --> :50.370
(I don't know why I did this). So I get my
breakfast and come back to see people sitting :50.370 --> :55.340
at our table, my parents call me over and
tell me they took our table so I tell them :55.340 --> :00.240
i left my minifigs there and we ask them if
they have them and they say that they didn't :00.240 --> :05.240
see them even though I remembered I put them
in front of me and they weren't there. I accused :05.240 --> :09.960
them of being thieves (I was 8 or 9 at the
time) and the mother at the table said that :09.960 --> :14.479
"if I wanted to keep my stuff I should have
kept it with me" and they didn't even bother :14.479 --> :18.360
too look for them. A staff member (I think
the manager) tried to keep the peace and asked :18.360 --> :23.330
which set they were in to try to get me new
ones (Shout out to him). Anyways we eventually :23.330 --> :28.990
sat back down and the staff member had a talk
with the family when they "magically" found :28.990 --> :33.830
the characters under the table. Not only that
but they also weren't staying at the hotel :33.830 --> :38.910
which was a big no no and got kicked out. :38.910 --> :47.300

:55.699 --> :57.810 A Mother Grabbed Me at Disney S
:57.810 --> :01.650 I'm not so sure if this fits here but I'll
post it anyway. When I was in elementary school :01.650 --> :07.330
(probably 1st or 2nd grade for those not in
the US I was 6-8 years old) my grandparents :07.330 --> :13.250
had saved enough money to take me, my brother,
mom, dad, cousin, aunt, uncle, and themselves :13.250 --> :18.680
to Disney World as a family trip for a couple
of days (They are awesome I know). One day :18.680 --> :22.729
we went to this Finding Nemo thing where you
could take a picture in this sharks mouth :22.729 --> :27.020
and I think you could do other things there.
I did not know that it was for pictures and :27.020 --> :32.169
went to the sharks mouth next to this woman
and her young (probably 4 year old) daughter. :32.169 --> :36.500
Now instead of tapping me on the shoulder
and asking me to move she grabbed my arm, :36.500 --> :42.129
dragged me away, (I was in tears at this point)
and when my parents saw her and came over :42.129 --> :46.580
to me I explained what happened, crying, and
she said something like "He shouldn't have :46.580 --> :51.960
attacked me and my daughter." Keep in mind
I was young and had just walked over to the :51.960 --> :56.270
shark's mouth. Anyway after that there was
an argument and we just ended up leaving the :56.270 --> :57.879
building. :57.879 --> :08.710
EDIT: Thank you everyone for the support.
Sadly there are other people in the comments :08.710 --> :17.479
who have had similar situations. But thank you for reading!

Mom sells my stuff to buy Christmas presents for dad "without using his money"
:26.060 --> :29.020 M Okay, I have an entitled mom. She does things
:29.020 --> :34.279 her way, and devil take the hindmost. But
this story is really the first couple of times :34.279 --> :36.919
I "realized" she was entitled. :36.919 --> :42.589
I'd been a novice guitar player, and while
I enjoyed it, I wasn't a fast learner. Still, :42.589 --> :48.330
I had an acoustic guitar that I dearly loved.
Then, one day I didn't have an acoustic guitar. :48.330 --> :53.160
Why? Here's how my mom explained it. "I hate
to take dad's money to buy him a Christmas :53.160 --> :58.280
present, so I sold your guitar ... after all, you weren't using it ..."
:58.280 --> :05.550 Uh, yeah, right. I practiced every day except
on days when my other passions - the boy scouts, :05.550 --> :10.850
comic books, etc. - got in the way. I'd even
been talking about starting a band, and practicing :10.850 --> :16.040
in our basement. Do you begin to see another
motive for selling my guitar when I wasn't :16.040 --> :20.769
looking? Not surprisingly (though it was a
surprise at the time) she refused to replace :20.769 --> :23.820
my guitar when I told her I wanted it back. :23.820 --> :28.810
Another example - not quite so clear-cut,
but still ... backstory. My dad served in :28.810 --> :34.190
the Navy, in the Pacific, during WW-II, and
as a souvenir, he brought back a Japanese :34.190 --> :40.030
army rifle, an Arisaka. Now I knew even as
a teen-ager that dad didn't see land combat, :40.030 --> :44.839
so he must have bought the rifle from a Marine
or soldier, but still, it was a rifle and :44.839 --> :50.010
therefore way cool. I'd started shooting (targets)
while in the scouts, at summer camp, and I :50.010 --> :54.730
quickly realized I had a gift for that - I
later went on to shoot on the college rifle :54.730 --> :59.900
team, so, yeah, I was good. And as the only
son, I figured the rifle would be mine when :59.900 --> :07.090
I turned 18. But no, one day I found the rifle
gone, and yeah, mom sold it to buy dad a Christmas :07.090 --> :12.649
present, but not with "his" money (she didn't
work out of the home, so earned no money of :12.649 --> :13.800
"her own"). :13.800 --> :18.830
One final story about entitled mom. When I
went off to college, I did two things. I bought :18.830 --> :23.450
a reel-to-reel tape recorder (at that time,
this was state-of-the-art) and copied all :23.450 --> :28.010
of my extensive collection of records onto
tape because they were easier to store in :28.010 --> :33.279
a dorm room. I left my albums at home, but
I had not abandoned them. Until my mom sold :33.279 --> :38.160
them - without asking (and these I'd bought
myself - there wasn't even the excuse that :38.160 --> :43.310
"I bought you your guitar, so it's mine to
sell if I want."). When I found this out, :43.310 --> :50.500
I went ballistic - then, a horrific thought
hit me, and I raced up to my room and ... :50.500 --> :56.980
... my comic book collection was gone. "You're
too old to collect comics," she explained, :56.980 --> :01.260
then again noted that this was the only way
she could afford to buy dad a birthday present :01.260 --> :07.440
without using his money." Now sure, these
were well-read comics, but still. I had the :07.440 --> :14.240
first (and the first hundred or so) Fantastic
Four comics. The first (and first hundred :14.240 --> :19.819
or so) Spiderman comics. The first .,. well,
you get the picture. Even well-read comics :19.819 --> :25.240
- if they date back to the origins of Marvel
as a comic powerhouse during the Stan Lee/Jack :25.240 --> :31.620
Kirby days - are worth thousands or more today.
But only if you actually still own them. :31.620 --> :37.870
Sigh. Did I mention that mom died a multi-millionaire,
but she made sure that us kids got nothing :37.870 --> :43.180
- most of her estate went to St. Jude's - a
good charity, but with her wealth, sharing :43.180 --> :49.019
even a small percentage of that wealth would
have still left St. Judes with many millions :49.019 --> :11.690
- but, as the song goes, "and she's buying
her way to heaven ..." (or so it seems :11.690 --> :13.270 to me.

:17.610 --> :21.950 38 minutes ago :21.950 --> :25.870
Crazy entitled neighbor freaks out about me "watching" her kids
:25.870 --> :28.800 L So a bit of background first; I broke my ankle
:28.800 --> :34.699 back in May. I've never broken anything before
and I managaged to break my bone in two places :34.699 --> :39.550
so healing has been slow and new to me. I
was told I needed to keep my foot up to avoid :39.550 --> :44.260
swelling, and frankly, you didn't have to
tell me twice as putting my ankle down to :44.260 --> :49.190
the ground level felt like all my blood came
rushing back and it was going to explode, :49.190 --> :53.620
and so it was super painful for a while. I'm
getting to the stage where it finally no longer :53.620 --> :58.410
hurts to sit up normally with my foot on the
ground, and thank god because I'm beyond tired :58.410 --> :03.560
of laying down. I can really only exist in
two places in my home comfortably now, my :03.560 --> :08.830
bed and our couch. But moving me from the
bed to the couch is a lot for both me and :08.830 --> :13.970
my boyfreind, so we only do it on weekends
and I work from home in bed during the week. :13.970 --> :18.010
So since I'm tired of laying down and now
in a phase where I should be working on movement :18.010 --> :23.280
with my ankle, I have been sitting on the
edge of my bed for a bit everyday to eat, :23.280 --> :28.470
work, move my foot, etc. At my side of the
bed is a giant window, and my boyfreind opens :28.470 --> :31.610
the window daily for me so I can enjoy the sunlight.
:31.610 --> :36.199 So, today I had been doing things as normal,
sitting on the edge of the bed to work and :36.199 --> :40.570
just enjoying the summer sun. I live in a
condo building so a lot of times kids will :40.570 --> :46.040
play outside in the parking area, and I hear
them so much (not super loudly by any means) :46.040 --> :51.070
that I just zone them out when I work. I can
see them sometimes but most of the time they :51.070 --> :55.660
are over in an area I can't really see from
my window. My boyfreind had just gotten back :55.660 --> :00.720
from the grocery store, and he was definitely
not in the best mood since the air conditioning :00.720 --> :06.370
on the car stopped working and it was painfully
hot outside. He was mumbling to himself about :06.370 --> :11.130
having to go outside when it's a bit cooler
out and take a look at it when we heard a :11.130 --> :16.300
pretty aggressive knock on the door. Everything
from this point forward is my boyfreind re-telling :16.300 --> :20.009
me the story since I was in the bedroom and not near the door.
:20.009 --> :24.940 As soon as he opens the door she goes off
instantly, "You need to tell that women to :24.940 --> :31.060
stop staring at my kids. It's creepy." My
bf finds this incredibly hilarious even though :31.060 --> :35.889
he has no idea what in the world she's talking
about and his first reaction was to immediately :35.889 --> :42.050
laugh and just responded "What?" as best as
he can though him losing it. She did NOT like :42.050 --> :47.279
this reaction, and started on a tangent, saying
things along the lines of "It's weird for :47.279 --> :52.779
her to be sitting there staring out the window
during the day", and that "she (me) needs :52.779 --> :57.440
to come out here and explain herself" and
if I didn't come out there and apologize and :57.440 --> :04.329
stop she would "report me for being creepy",
and how my bf was likely "equally as creepy". :04.329 --> :09.810
My bf was over this as fast as it started
and once he could pull himself together, inform :09.810 --> :15.160
her that I could not come to the door, and
she needed to stop jumping to weird conclusions. :15.160 --> :19.620
Of course, she asks why I "don't have time
to come to the door but plenty of time to :19.620 --> :23.670
stare at kids." He tells her I'm sitting on
the edge of the bed like that because I'm :23.670 --> :29.019
stuck in the bed due to a broken ankle and
I can't walk. As she starts to go off about :29.019 --> :34.339
not believing him, he simply shuts the door
in her face. He said she knocked on the door :34.339 --> :37.940
on and off over the next hour before giving up. :37.940 --> :42.269
A little later my boyfreind walked outside
to deal with the car air conditioning and :42.269 --> :46.103
decided to look into the window I was sitting
in front of. He said you can see me, but you :46.103 --> :51.580
need to get pretty close, and I'm clearly
looking down most of the time and when I have :51.580 --> :55.880
my laptop in hand you can clearly see the
top of it. He's said it's more creepy that :55.880 --> :58.650
she came this close to the window to watch me. :58.650 --> :03.170
She hasn't come back again, and I hope she
never does. We have window shades that slide :03.170 --> :08.079
down from the bottom and top, so we decided
to switch them so this weird lady can't look :08.079 --> :12.670
inside. Just a bit sad because I did enjoy
having the trees visable in the background :12.670 --> :13.690

:15.910 --> :18.120 1 day ago :18.120 --> :25.490
Important update on my situation. M :25.490 --> :38.110
Since the last post, there have been many important developments.
:38.110 --> :42.720 At approximately 1am, I was brushing my teeth,
as I had struggled to gather the motivation :42.720 --> :47.750
to do it earlier, and the house was relatively
peaceful, as my mother was asleep and nobody :47.750 --> :52.930
else was here. But my dad came home with my
sister to bring her back from work, and he :52.930 --> :57.940
started knocking on the door. I was annoyed
and didn't open, as I just wanted to finish :57.940 --> :59.680
brushing my teeth. :59.680 --> :04.140
Massive mistake. My father was at the door,
and when he saw that I was brushing my teeth, :04.140 --> :09.870
and that my phone was there, he went BALLISTIC.
He kicked me in the butt, while demanding :09.870 --> :14.490
that I plug my phone in and threatening to
break it into my head. After I put it down, :14.490 --> :19.520
I was ordered to finish brushing my teeth in the kitchen, so I obeyed.
:19.520 --> :24.110 Strike 2. I was in a corner, which ultimately
led to my dad cornering me and yelling at :24.110 --> :29.679
me over me not brushing my teeth fast, my
math grade, as well as him trauma dumping :29.679 --> :35.830
for countless minutes. His screaming intensified
and got more violent, starting to throw punches :35.830 --> :41.211
and kicks at me, while hollering death threats
at me if I didn't pass my summer class. After :41.211 --> :46.900
approximately 10 minutes of being threatened,
this nutshow ended. I finished brushing my :46.900 --> :51.780
teeth and went to my bed, having a panic attack
in the process, as I did not know what to :51.780 --> :52.780 do.
:52.780 --> :57.830 Strikeout. My father then went into my room
to continue screaming at me. By now, it was :57.830 --> :02.419
1:30am, I was struggling to hold it together,
and I was ready to beat the heck out of him :02.419 --> :07.260
and run out to never come back. He continued
to trauma dump and hit me with a cloth, before :07.260 --> :08.799
finally leaving. :08.799 --> :13.840
Arrogantly enough, he said Good night, which
I ignored. That ticked him off, as he said :13.840 --> :19.210
I said good night in a furious voice. I just
said a faint good night, as I was struggling :19.210 --> :22.980
to breathe and fathom what the heck I was just subjected to.
:22.980 --> :28.730 This morning, he acted as if absolutely nothing
happened, which particularly infuriated me, :28.730 --> :33.309
as I was unable to sleep for more than four
hours and still had painfully high heart rate :33.309 --> :38.360
(which I still do as of writing this). I have
since filed a report with the police and I'm :38.360 --> :40.409
hoping something happens soon. :40.409 --> :45.240
I don't feel safe at all, so any help would
be appreciated, whether it be advice or a :45.240 --> :49.190
word of kindness. Thank you for reading this. :49.190 --> :55.429

:22.259 --> :27.100 My em and her girlfriend are pushing my little
sibling to their breaking point,they'll end :27.100 --> :28.230
up like me M :28.230 --> :36.470
I (transm16) have 2 bio siblings (14nb, 8b),
my parents are getting divorced and my mom :36.470 --> :40.890
has a girlfriend that gave birth to a baby
earlier this year. We live with our mom and :40.890 --> :45.659
her girlfriend mainly because my dad is a
truck driver so he can't support us and his :45.659 --> :52.090
girlfriend lives far away and has 5 kids.
Now me and my sibling (14 we'll call o) have :52.090 --> :57.480
been taking care of my mom and our step brother
(3-5 months). We get up early take turns through :57.480 --> :03.080
out the day with the baby and our mother cook
clean watch my little brother ECT. I've recently :03.080 --> :09.179
been noticing O has been sleeping more crying
secretly and overall showing signs of being :09.179 --> :13.220
mentally worn out. I've tried to take more
of the load off them by staying home with :13.220 --> :17.520
the baby while they get to go out when the
girlfriend goes shopping getting up in the :17.520 --> :22.370
morning having a longer turn ect but its still very stressful.
:22.370 --> :27.299 Today after going to visit one of our cousins
O came to me crying saying how our mother :27.299 --> :32.380
and her girlfriend called her our grandmother
(the woman who hurt us stole alot of our things :32.380 --> :37.320
ect) said how they are so lazy, and basically
called them worthless because the house had :37.320 --> :43.330
the babies and our little brothers toys everywhere.
I had to calm them down by us watching something :43.330 --> :49.720
together remind them they arent useless and
put them to sleep. I was(am) very upset because :49.720 --> :55.650
my mom and my dad did the same thing to me
calling me worthless throwing loads of things :55.650 --> :01.910
I can't handle onto me till I broke, which
caused me to spiral into getting groomed s/h :01.910 --> :07.520
trying to kms and lots of mental problems.
I don't want O to go through what I went through :07.520 --> :12.200
so I went to my mom. We got into an argument
due to this and I kept asking them to help :12.200 --> :17.299
O. Obviously they aren't mentally well obviously
they need a therapist and if they wait to :17.299 --> :21.940
help just like how they waited for me they'll
see another child in and out of the mental :21.940 --> :26.920
hospital. My mom just said I'm accusing her
of being a terrible mother (if the shoe fits :26.920 --> :32.460
but whatever) and said she'll "look into it".
The girlfriend was just apologizing over and :32.460 --> :37.080
over and wanting to talk to O but I didn't
allow it mainly because I don't want them :37.080 --> :39.049
cornered by two adults. :39.049 --> :43.660
Now I'm looking even harder for a job so I
can put aside trying to move out quickly, :43.660 --> :48.490
and pay for my siblings therapist and anything
else they need. I'm so tired of this and O :48.490 --> :54.610
is too, this is a cycle and I'm tired of following
it. It happened to me and I won't let it happen :54.610 --> :00.100
to O, as much as O irritated me I love them
and I'll help them. I don't want them as bad :00.100 --> :05.190
as me, it sucks knowing that I'll never be
mentally ok and be normal. My dad is asleep :05.190 --> :09.750
but I'ma try to talk to him see if atleast
he'll help find them a online Therapist. The :09.750 --> :14.179

My parents don't like my boyfriend. He hasn't
done anything to me, and he has never abused :41.670 --> :46.679
me. It is mostly my mother I notice that doesn't
like him, and my dad really likes my boyfriend :46.679 --> :50.809
but usually plays along with my mother. Why
does my mother not like my boyfriend? :50.809 --> :54.540 S
My boyfriend is 23 and I'm 21 we been together :54.540 --> :59.500
for 6 years and I have notice that my mother
seems to not like him because whenever she :59.500 --> :04.620
is around certain group of her friends like
her friend asked me "you have a boyfriend" :04.620 --> :10.279
mother said "yes she does but we will see
how long that lasts and smiles at me" I just :10.279 --> :15.090
look at her like why would you say that or
another time she said " I don't know why you :15.090 --> :20.110
don't break up with him and go be with other
guys when I was your age I dated lots of guys :20.110 --> :24.409
before I married your father you should go
and exlplore the world instead of staying :24.409 --> :29.900
with one man for the rest of your life" I
always never say anything but I always looks :29.900 --> :34.690
at her and ask her why would you say something
like that and she usually never answers me :34.690 --> :39.809
back but I never understand that she pretends
to like my boyfriend espically whenever he :39.809 --> :44.490
started his bussiness and things were going
good she called him randolmy and said "if :44.490 --> :49.840
you ever need anything I'm always here" I
know she never usually calls him so but my :49.840 --> :55.240
point is why doesn't my parents like my boyfriend
espically my mother and my boyfriend told :55.240 --> :00.309
me "I don't feel appericated by your parents
I just feel toltered by them whenever they :00.309 --> :05.390
invite me anywhere or whenever I'm at your
house mostly your mother I notice she likes :05.390 --> :10.140
to keep herself with high standards and she
doesn't like to be seen in public with people :10.140 --> :16.179
she thinks are below her which I know that
is how she treats me but I don't care so"My :16.179 --> :20.919
boyfriend parents always treated me like thier
own daughter and always very welcoming of :20.919 --> :26.529
me inside thier home and invite me places
with them or call or message me to check on :26.529 --> :30.799
me and they introudce me to their friends
and family as thier sons wife although I'm :30.799 --> :35.549
not married to their son yet I noticed the
difference with how my parents treat my boyfriend :35.549 --> :40.570
and how my boyfriend parents treat me complety
oppsite and we always wonder why our parents :40.570 --> :42.080
treat us like that. :42.080 --> :06.880 What is your advice on

:14.490 --> :18.010 Would this piece of news from Brazil fit here????
cuz I think it would.... :18.010 --> :20.610 S
So basically what happened is that a cop decided :20.610 --> :27.010
to literallty (And sorry for the capslock
here) THREATEN A TEACHER WITH A GUN POINTED :27.010 --> :31.320
TO HIS HEAD after he had an argument with his child and all.
:31.320 --> :35.399 Now this would be bad enough, even if the
kid himself was innocent. But the reason the :35.399 --> :40.690
teacher decided he had to you know, pull him
up to a private conversation and deal with :40.690 --> :45.700
him. Is the reason the teacher chose to pull
him up for a private conversation and reprehend :45.700 --> :46.700
him: :46.700 --> :54.900 The reason my dear readers... is that he was
unironically defending Nazism during a lecture. :54.900 --> :00.090
That's right, the parent literally had a son
defending some of the most disgusting human :00.090 --> :06.159
beings in human history, and an ideology that
has killed a crap ton of people, and continues :06.159 --> :11.690
to cause harm to THIS VERY DAY. And decided
that the best course of action is to threaten :11.690 --> :17.350
to arrest the teacher, and when that fails, pull a freaking gun on his head.
:17.350 --> :22.120 Also the teacher was target of frequent mockery
from the student. (Not surprising considering :22.120 --> :25.289
how little respect people in Brazil has for teachers...)
:25.289 --> :30.330 But either way, what do you guys think? Do
this little.... incident, fit here? I think :30.330 --> :35.460
it does, this has to be the most primal example

a couple of months (thank god). :44.050 --> :45.050
His mother came to my door demanding that
I take him back as he is blaming her for breaking :45.050 --> :48.990
us up and that he barely talks to her now
a days. She demanded I take him back as she :48.990 --> :51.350
wants him to start talking to her again. I
bursted out laughing in her face for about :51.350 --> :52.350
4 min and I couldn’t stop which made her
even more angry. I closed the door in her :52.350 --> :54.650

FOLLOWED me to work and again demanded I take :54.650 --> :56.970
her son back and I just continued laughing in her face.
:56.970 --> :59.012 In the end I told her to freak off and that
she made her bed and she can rot in it. She :59.012 --> :00.012
looked stunned as I don’t usually talk back
to her (because I didn’t want to upset my :00.012 --> :01.012

:04.012 --> :05.012 Wanted her to move out... now she wants her
new house :05.012 --> :07.140 S
When my friend was 19 she lived with her father, :07.140 --> :11.871
stepmother and half sister in a four bedroom
house. Her stepmother wanted her to move out :11.871 --> :16.450
and go live with her aunt and uncle so her
real daughter could move in. Her daughter's :16.450 --> :22.040
husband left her after she adopted a kid after
finding out she can't have kids. The husband :22.040 --> :26.840
wanted biological children. Her bedroom was
going to her stepsister and the fourth bedroom :26.840 --> :32.370
going to the granddaughter. Her aunt and uncle
decided to have a custom made shed transformed :32.370 --> :38.309
into a four bedroom house. Her aunt and grandmother
decorated the house its beautiful (I'm seen :38.309 --> :43.320
it) Her stepmom saw it and immediately wanted
her daughter to have it because she need her :43.320 --> :48.309
own place and its too much house for just
one person. Her father finally told his wife :48.309 --> :53.750
no it's his daughter house to leave her alone.
Her stepmother was giving her the side eye :53.750 --> :59.580
the entire time during the house warming party.
Here's the thing her stepsister never wanted :59.580 --> :04.799
to move in her. Her stepsister is nice and
her father did the same thing turned a shed :04.799 --> :10.220
into a nice house. Several parishes from her
mom. The stepsister and a new job and kid :10.220 --> :15.310
has adjusted well with a new school. My friend's

a it ta for not wanting my boyfriend's family in our future this story is long
and very confusing but I'll do my best to explain everything that needs to be
explained I 21f and my boyfriend 23m started dating after we met each other
at our job his Aunt Sarah 35f was our manager and she did not like me from day
one however when I met his mother's family on his 21st birthday they seemed
fairly open with me when my boyfriend came to visit my family they were
nothing but accepting and loving to him which makes the situation frustrating to
make a long story short we lived in an apartment under his Aunt Sarah's name
she decided to move her disabled mother and disabled brother into one of the
bedroom of our two-bedroom apartment without asking granted I understand it
was her place however her mother had already been evicted from the property
and legally was not allowed to live there she was friends with the landlord
shortly after Sarah's brother Sam 30m got out of prison and decided that he
was going to live in our apartment you can't live in my apartment complex if
you're a convict which caused even more issues he would do drugs in our bathroom
and steal from us I learned this after everything happened Sarah his aunt would
walk into our apartment and start yelling at us over things that happen
inside the apartment examples including asking my boyfriend's uncle to clean the
bathroom after he peed on the floor his grandmother spread rumors that I was
abusive to my boyfriend she heard us fighting and assumed I was beating him
her mother claimed she felt like a slave because she was constantly washing
dishes nobody asked her to it was literally the only thing she did the
first time I met my boyfriend's father he asked to look at my wrists claimed I
wasn't going to be in his son's life for
long and then proceeded to speak only to his son not acknowledging me ever since
then I've had bad blood with him there has been more instances but that's the
only one that truly matters thankfully his aunt-in-law Angel 30f so how much we
were struggling and helped us put a down payment on our own apartment so we
didn't have to live in that that anymore Sarah decided that this was an active
betrayal and started talking about me to family and co-workers saying I was a
gold digger and didn't work hard enough I was the one who bought all of our
furniture our groceries Etc as a drama with his family continued my boyfriend
mental health began to decline and I was also becoming increasingly more
depressed and decided that we needed a break from each other this caused
talking amongst his family about how terrible of a person I am which caused a
strain in my relationship with his mother's family as have other issues
happened but I don't have space to type we have since got back together but I
can never see myself in the future wanting his family to be any part of our
lives so am the | give me a good story on AITAfornotwantingmyboyfriendsfamilyinourfuture |

told my parents that my 18m girlfriend 18f is pregnant my girlfriend and I are
18 and about the graduate high school we're both planning to go ton College in
the fall we up and she got pregnant I tried to get her to take the
Plan B pill right after we had unprotected sex but she was too scared
she wanted to let the universe take its course now she's around 8 weeks pregnant
she hasn't been to the doctor or a Planned Parenthood or anything like that
to confirm any dates but online calculators say she's 8 weeks she's not
taking any action right now it's like she's just ignoring it and hoping it'll
go away she regularly freaks out and cries to me about it saying she can't be
a mom I offered to help her get an abortion and to be with her she's too
scared of that I think she really needs to tell her parents now because I don't
know what else to do I think she just wants to hide it for as long as possible
and that honestly freaks me out so I warned her I was going to tell my
parents I gave her like 2 weeks and she did nothing so I finally told my parents
last night we were all in the living room and I just decided to say it
because there was never going to be a good moment to say it I basically just
told them I did something | give me a good story on ToldmyparentsthatmyMgirlfriendFispregnant |

a ITA for only buying my parents stuff that cannot be shared or taken while my
brother and his family live with us my brother 32 has been knocking up his wife
32 since they were in high school their oldest is now 13 but they have three
more she is a stay-at-home mom and he works as cleaning staff at a fifo camp
it's pretty good money but they waste a lot of it they have multiple gaming
systems and the two oldest kids have very new iPhone I 28 live in The Loft
above my parents' garage I do not pay rent because my folks want me to say up
for my future I help out around the house and I buy groceries for my parents
as well as myself my brother and his family live in the in-law suite in my
parents' basement it was supposed to be a rental to get them some extra money
for when they retire but after my brother lost his job because he would
not get vaccinated our folks let them move in I also love to buy them gifts
but my brother and his family always needed exactly what I happened to give
them for example I brought my mom a very colorful bag from Columbia called the
mochila it is just a woven C cotton shoulder bag made with very vibrantly
colored yarn my niece nine saw it and wanted to use it for a project at school
where she promptly lost it I got my father a bottle of Van Winkler bourbon
since he loves to have a drink after a long day my brother and his wife found
it and drank it mixed with orange juice because it was so strong tasting so now
I do other stuff I took my mom to go see Anastasia and I got us really good seat
no one else was invited I took my dad out for a steak dinner and then to a
speaky in our city and treated him to a $160 cocktail these are things my
parents love doing but won't waste money
on I keep the groceries I buy in my loft I will make meals for my parents and
have them over or I will bring the ingredients and cook with my dad my
brother started asking why I don't leave the groceries in the freezer fridge or
Pantry that they have access to and why I stopped buying my parents gift he says
that I'm living there for free and I should give them more I asked him how
much he was paying them in rent or how he was contributing to the household and
he said he was tired on the weeks he was
home and that his wife and kids were too busy to help I work a full-time job I
volunteer at a cat rescue I do theater Sports as a hobby and I still manag to
help with yard work housework errands and helping with my grandmother who is
in a locked in facility for dementia patient I pointed this out and he said I
was being a little I said I wasn't stupid enough to leave anything around
that he or his family could steal now we are fighting and my parents are upset
his wife called me an for not sharp the treats I buy from my parents I
can afford to buy treats for my parents and I but not for five more people who
do not contribute | give me a good story on AITAforonlybuyingmyparentsstuffthatcannotbesharedortakenwhilemybrotherandhisfamily |

a it for not supporting my sister so she can adopt my brother's son this is a
throwaway because my relatives use Reddit all names are fake when my
brother M35 Jake went to jail for a short stint I am30 was on paper the best
candidate to take care of his son M7 John the issue was that I did not have
the qualities needed to be a good parent and even if I did my brother's son to
put it lightly was a very difficult child I eventually caved into family
pressure and manipulation however I did not agree to taking John
unconditionally I made it clear that I could not do this alone and extracted
Promises of support from many relatives in hindsight I was incredibly naive as
soon as the ink was dry my relatives abandoned me it was by far the most
miserable experience of my life I was in no way equipped to deal with a child
much less one with as many issues as Jon all of my pleas for help were at best
ignored at worst I was blamed SL shamed while I'd like to believe that I didn't
take my resentment SL regret out on John I most certainly did not support his
emotional needs at best I was a distant caretaker SL ATM and when Jake got out
of jail I couldn't hand Jon back to my brother fast enough yes I knew that my
brother a terrible parent but so was I and Jake at the least did not regret
having Jon the issue is that my brother has gotten in trouble with the law again
again I was nominated for guardianship but I didn't fall on the same trick
twice I stood my ground and burned many bridges in the process I've been called
heartless selfish a monster and more I've been told that I have a duty to
family and so on my sister Jane f25 eventually volunteered but she can
barely support herself never mind a child she has asked me for financial
assistance and I refused while money is no problem for me I have no obligation I
made it clear that I would not be in her Village prior to her adopting John and
furthermore she was one of the relatives that reneged on her promise to help me
when I was in her shoes I don't care what my relatives think but when I
confided in my friend she told me that I did owe JN even if I didn't owe my
relatives because I had agreed to be his Guardian I disagreed because I was
tricked into it Ida edit I guessed that I didn't make this clear but I'm not
close to John I was always the uncle that you awkwardly said hi to because
your parents forced you to I also didn't
grow any more attached to him during the time that I was his Guardian edit two
Jane was 23 when I first became Jon's guardian and while I did expect her to
help with Jon I expected her to be only one villager amongst the whole village
and she wouldn't even do that and the reason why I am so detached towards Jon
is because I regretted slash didn't want to be be his caretaker in the first
place I'm like an IRL worst case scenario regretful parent Horror Story | give me a good story on AITAForNotSupportingMySistersoSheCanAdoptMyBrothersSon |

AIT for telling my sister-in-law our finances are not her business background
I 27f have been with my husband 38m for about 6 years married for three when we
met he had horrible depression and when his mother passed away a lot of things
went wrong in his life he started a new career where we met a year later spent
all his savings Etc I was finishing my last year of college online and was
working a big girl job making the same amount of dollar us after dating we got
pregnant with our beautiful daughter after doing the deed for one week after
we had my daughter I ended up quitting my job and bringing her to Nanny with me
we got married 2 years after she was born and he supported me going back to
school getting my Nursing degree BSN our current life now I'm a travel nurse I
paid off all my student debt $20,000 we bought a two-bedroom bedroom fifth wheel
cost $90,000 and I recently bought my husband the truck of his dreams
$110,000 he stays with our girls we homeschool and we're planning on
traveling for another few years we plan on settling down by the time my oldest
goes into Middle School by then both of my kids will be set up financially to go
to college and we will have enough money to put a large down payment on a do two
mil home now here's the problem I took an assignment near his hometown so we
can see his family for Easter one of my sister-in-laws is more of a petty woman
who can't keep her mouth shut when my husband's brothers were asking about his
new truck Sil chimed in saying well he wouldn't have anything if it wasn't for
insert my name here I reminded her that I wouldn't have anything I have now
without him either Sil proceeds to ask how much our fancy trailer and fancy
truck and fancy trips are costing me in front of his whole family I was calm
when I responded and just simply said it's none of your business what my
finances are but if you need some money let me know needless to say things got
awkward and she left shortly after now Sil is refusing to talk to me and I'm
getting pressure from his family to apologize I don't really feel sorry
because I feel like she undermined all of my husband's sacrifices for our
family but my husband says I should just apologize to keep peace thoughts | give me a good story on AITAfortellingmysisterinlawourfinancesarenotherbusiness |

trigger warning psychological manipulation gaslighting emotional abuse
stalking and harassment I think my girlfriend has been trying to get me
fired from all my jobs I'm shaken please
help me I'm M24 and I've been with GF 29 let's call her Janice for 2 and 1/2
years I just finished my education when we started dating and I have been doing
all sorts of jobs since sometimes two at a time I did this to expand my resume
and gather job experience I worked in cafes bookstores a library a grocery
store and as an English tutor most of those jobs lasted about 3 to 5 months my
shortest stay was 2 and 1/2 Weeks my longest 8 months but since I didn't have
a hard time applying for new position I tried to block it out though it was kind
of eating me up internally people called to complain about me people left bad
reviews about me people used my employee Wi-Fi access to look up sketchy things
on the internet under my name former employees called to inform them about me
right name and all and much much more subtle stuff that I couldn't Des Pro but
I was too anxious to do anything about it I just told my girlfriend she
comforted me and supported me every time
I got my life ruined by these people but
I kept going though they kept finding me fast forward to this week I currently
hold a part-time position at a bakery I've been working there for 2 months and
a half it's going okay but my manager approached me about something regarding
our Google reviews someone was complaining about an employee and their
description of them could only really fit me it was on a day where we're
pretty short on staff so I could have been the only person in the store on
that day for all I know anyway their review contained some pretty elaborate
and nasty comments about me this has happened on one or two of my jobs
already I told my manager that it was all pretty bogus and that someone had a
vendetta against me as it has happened before she believed me and told me that
she' dismissed the comment on my break I checked out the review myself their
username was kind of stupid I'm not going to type it out here since I still
work there but I'll just call them MC Myrtle as it was in the same range of
sound kind of fake but not really anyway I come home but don't tell Janice about
it she has heard it all before so I didn't see the point in complaining
about another time I almost lost my position we chat all is well and she
leaves the room her phone is on the table and suddenly she gets a
notification or an email of some sort from Google I don't remember what it
said exactly but the popup reads something along the lines of Mick Myrtle
manager has responded to your review my heart dropped I've been trying to ignore
it since this was 2 days ago it just fits the picture of bad reviews it fit
in the picture of the phone complaints my workplaces have received about me in
the past it fits in the picture of all the sketchy things I've been fired for
why would she do that though I'm looking for an explanation this literally can't
be she's the only thing keeping me saying I don't know what to do update
hello people who are still invested I'm sorry for not updating you guys early a
lot has been going on first of all yes we broke up that's why I'll be referring
to her as my ex from now on and anyway let's start from the beginning on Monday
of the following week I couldn't take the uncertainty anymore I told my ex
that I needed her booking account to book a train ticket to visit my dad for
a few days she complied and when she was in the shower getting ready for work I
booked my ticket and started looking through her emails after some digging I
found an email to herself that contained a spreadsheet file I sent the file to
myself printed it out and took a screenshot why the spreadsheet contained
about every single piece of information about me that there was numbers emails
passwords work times colleagues their numbers and social media as well as some
emails and passwords that she used for accounts to ruin my life with everything
was on there conveniently sorted for her to ruin my life as efficiently as
possible when she left for work I decided it would be best to immediately
pack my stuff nothing that mattered would be left behind I felt like a
wanted man I felt like I was being hunted despite nothing seemingly out of
place I called my boss told her I would be taking some time off from work and
headed out to see my dad needless to say
he was the sanity I needed I cried about everything I saw I panicked for a whole
two days straight about how my life was ruined and I didn't know what to do he
had to sleep on the couch in the guest room because I was so scared of my ex
coming in he handled it like a champ I love you Dad he called the police a
lawyer and most recently a therapist for me because I was in the most horrible
state of my entire life we're currently sorting out the legal stuff I haven't
talked to my ex except for letting her know it was over and she's a sick
psychopath my dad handled the rest I changed all my passwords and I'm now
looking for a place to live sorry for the brief update my mind is Tangled
please ask questions if you want to know more edit by the way thank you to every
single person who gave me advice talk to me over DMS and was generally concerned
about me I appreciate every single one of you I went back on here and saw a
bunch of DMS and some of y'all came here quite recently I've answered all of the
DMS so far and before I let the next batch of people wait wait you'd think
there wouldn't be after 2 years I'll give you a quick update spoiler it isn't
that interesting tldr we ended up not taking her to court over it this is
quite controversial considering the abhorent things she's done to me but I
do not regret this decision the satisfaction of seeing her get punished
would have been overshadowed by the sheer amount of dread anxiety and fear I
would have faced in those Court hearings I was a nervous mess I couldn't eat for
weeks without throwing up my dad had to settle most of the important stuff
because I physically couldn't thank you Dad on the bright side our lawyers
settled the situation beautifully in private and I haven't had any problems
with her since I've moved houses gotten a stable job and found the closure and
Justice I was looking for through therapy I hope she did as well we've had
no contact since then and I still haven't read any of the messages she
sent me those years ago of course I'm nowhere near done with my journey I
still have all of my social media accounts set to private and insist on
keeping a low profile online I still get anxiety especially when there's a
problem at work but I haven't had any panic attacks in months and my therapist
has been great I don't know how she's doing I don't know if she's moved on or
if she's seen this story float around the web hello YouTube Tik Tok and
Snapchat I don't know how much she knows
about how my life is currently going but nothing's happened since then that I
could attribute to her schemes sorry if this update is kind of a jumbled mess I
just woke up and I've repressed a lot of what happened thank you all for your

Story 1 my wife left me after she got in
shape and now wants to get back together
original post May 6th 2024 I am not sure why I am posting this I probably want
some validation as my life turned upside down recently I 32m was married to my
wife 33f for 4 years and we had a great marriage so far I was madly in love with
my wife she fell into depression mainly due to her job in 2022 I tried to
support her in every way and suggested her going to gym or doing any kind of
sports to de-stress I had my own depression episode before we got married
and what saved me was going to gym she agreed to that and we started going
there together I could not go as frequent as in the past since my
workload got heavier after my promotion however I tried my best to be there with
her she used to be a bit chubby which I loved and after seeing some changes with
her body she started to go there regularly it also helped her with
depression and she got better I was really happy to see her get better and
livelier she looked more confident got more aggressive in bed and so on however
after a while that confidence level started to affect our relationship for
worse she started going to the parties and going outside to a point she
completely stopped doing her share in the house that proceeded with me seeing
her getting flirty with a guy at a Meetup we went I communicated my
feelings to her and she dismissed these after several of these I had her sit
down with me and told her that she is Riding High on her newly found
confidence and emotions right now I clearly stated she should not make
decisions or action according to that confidence right now I know it well it
was one of my worst traits I used to be extremely emotionally driven in the past
I suggested we go to a marriage counselor and Hell broke loose she said
vile things to me like how she realized she settled down with me after getting
better and she could do much better than me she said I am insecure and other
things this woman used to be sweetest person on the earth and I was shocked
after hearing the things she said to me she filed for divorce the following
month and I did not hear much from her other than some lawyer talks our court
seeeing is scheduled to be next month and my lawyer told me there is a high
chance it'll be concluded then there is not much to share similar income only
shared asset is our joint account similar savings and no kids house is my
mom so it's out of division I accepted my marriage is going to end like that
last week she called crying and told me she regrets everything she apologized
over and over again but I felt disappointed not angry not sad but just
disappointed she did not text me nor call me even once since the divorce
started I did not even know where she was since she just left the home I told
her there is no going back now she has been messaging me non-stop my family
supports my decision and tell me I should not back down my in-laws were
shocked when they heard about the divorce they are now telling me to
rethink everything I will 99.9% not back down but as I said just looking for
validation and maybe wanted to vent thank you for reading relevant comments
oop responds if there was a real reason why his wife left him after getting
healthy oop I did not even understand why she left me after getting in shape I
am in shape too it's not like I was overweight it has been a while since
going to the gym before we started together but I was not in bad shape at
all I could probably get back to my shredded years with one year of regular
workout imaculate 329 how long were you separated did she tell you why she made
the mistake oop about 5 months she did not specify it I am not sure what
happened that made her call me crying oop on if his wife was having confidence
with her waight or not oop thank you for
sharing your perspective my wife was not even overweight or extremely big just
chubby it actually made her more attractive for me with all the curves I
would even go as far as to say she was more attractive for me before she lost
weight that behavior shift just from losing weight seemed incredibly weird to
me update June 23rd 2024 we are officially divorced there was not much
to share so it went smooth as a butter according to my lawyer I've never talked
to her other than through lawyers as much as she wanted me to she tried to
talk to me one on one and get closure but I just do not want that it's not
that I do not care why she left me what she did during that time I just do not
want to know I've been living without her for months now at first it was
difficult and I cried all night some days but after a few months I feel like
I came to accept everything what peace will it give to learn what and why when
I already accept everything other than hurting me for once I want to prioritize
my peace of mind in this whole process my parents and friends are here to
support me me and I am glad that I have such a great support Circle as for what
my plans are renovate my office room in the house get back to the gym and live
my best life I've been wanting to renovate my office room for a while now
and that's what I'll start with I started hitting the gym at the same time
I believe my body is good but I have some extra fat dieting proved itself
difficult because I am a Tiramisu addict for the dating part I uploaded few apps
and tried out how I am doing I got decent number of matches but realized I
do not feel like doing it right now I'll focus on my own Hobbies well-being and
wants for now thank you for all the support and help in the last post
relevant comments Shenanigans 20 I'm really sorry you had to go through this
awful experience I agree with you that closure is just for her as you shed all
the tears and pain you needed to all the
best for you keep looking after yourself and I am proud of how you have handled
yourself during this difficult time from
a cyber friend oop I think I gave myself my own closure and the conclusion is
having my best life and moving on that's the best thing can do thanks for the
good wishes Cho choore when the person who chooses to leave wants closure just
shut the door and keep it shut they only want to make themselves feel better
about their decision no matter how bad it screwed you over bigger and better
things to look forward to op all the best Story 2 aita for walking out of my
engagement party and refusing to answer calls for 3 days my now ex-boyfriend
proposed 4 days ago let's call him Tim Tim and I have been together for 2 years
we talked about marriage we are both 26 and kids Etc until last week I thought I
had the perfect love life now Tim has his best friend Mimi fake name Tim also
has a friend group he is very close to the problem throughout our relationship
was that Tim would Place me last whenever his friends were involved he
missed a promotion dinner for my work because Mimi's Dog was throwing up he
missed thewall celebrations with my family because his friends wanted him to
help paint their new house plus some issues during his teenage years
involving his friends resulted in his dad threatening to take away his
inheritance and distribute it to relatives for context his dad introduced
us until last year before I left the workplace which I joined straight after
college his dad was my boss I still see him as a father figure and respect him a
lot now I have outright told Tim that I don't like public proposals I am very
introverted and having eyes on me during a loving moment will only cause me
anxiety Tim said he understood and promised he wouldn't do one when he
proposed another thing I told Tim was that Mimi treats me passive aggressively
because I'm kind of an anxious person I have mild OCD and asked him to not
involve her in our Affairs Tim said Mimi only wants the best for us I kind of
didn't press the issue after he got defensive Thursday after I entered my
flat I was greeted by all of Tim's friends with Tim in a suit and a ring in
hand I kid you not my flat was swarmed there were people I didn't even know
before Tim even said anything Mimi chimed in and said chill op dear God
this is not the time to make that face I saw red I was having a severe anxiety
attack as I don't do well with lots of people I calmly told them that there
would be no proposal and to get the hell
out of my flat they looked like in shock so I just left my flat with just my
purse called my best friend on the way and told her to get them out and just
called a car service and sat in the car crying for 2 hours and went to my cabin
I brought I texted my parents so they wouldn't worry and told them to not take
Tim's calls switched off my phone and stayed there luckily I had enough cash
to make a grocery run and the cabin was used last month I only switched my phone
on when I was calling a car and saw the barrage of calls and texts I called Tim
in the car and he sounded defeated and kept on apologizing and crying I told
him it was over turns out my best friend told his dad who was so mad he told him
that he would only get half his inheritance I now feel that I reacted
very badly and could have handled it with Grace I might have let my anxiety
take over and overreacted and I cost him
his money ITA edit my xbf and I are both
Indians one of the reasons why Tim's dad likes me is that I am from the same
culture though I am not comfortable with this reasoning I am a lawyer and make
enough money to buy and maintain a flat and a cabin Tim only has access to my
flat update June 23rd 2024 most people in both my previous posts said that it
wasn't my fault and after properly speaking to my family and friends I
realized that I was indeed not that wrong the bti about changing the locks
I'll get to that later but my best a friend who is staying with me for a few
days said that she checked and everything in my flat was in the right
place so I guess that's one problem less
people who keep sending me DMS saying it is fake because I own a cabin I have no
answer for that yes I make enough money to live comfortably on my own and also
have an extra place that I like to go to
alone and to some really funny gentleman who have sent me more DMS on how I'd
never find a husband if I didn't learn to keep my mouth shut please eat I
don't have the mental space to argue with ink El's right now for the main
update I went and spoke to Tim's dad first he was very mad at his son he kept
saying that Tim had finally crossed limits with that group and asked me to
forgive his son I respectfully told him that even if I got back with his son my
dad wouldn't approve which was true and I said that because I knew for Tim's dad
my dad's opinion mattered more his dad then said that he was deeply sorry and
that he would still support me if I needed help in the future and I decided
to take the things he left at my flat to him because I didn't want him over mine
ever again Tim said he was very sorry that he hadn't thought I was being
genuine about my social anxiety he has seen me get panic attacks and crowds and
he thought that his friend's enthusiasm would be a positive thing I asked him
why none of my friends were there and he said that because I have a very small
number of friends he thought we would have a nice dinner with them to share
the news not going to lie his words hurt because his friends deserved to be at
the proposal but mine didn't because there were only five of them Tim also
mentioned that Mimi didn't like one of my friends because she was a single mom
and it just made me more mad I told him that he would be better off marrying
MiMi because it was quite clear everything in his life was about her I
told him that he was a partner and the reason why I wouldn't marry him and
his dad is going to cut off his money is because he has let Mimi bully me
throughout our relationship and it was Mimi's words that made me leave the
proposal Tim looked very hurt and started apologizing he also said that he
never cheated on me that he loved me and he promised to do better I told him I'd
give him a chance if he cut off every one of his friends and moved with me to
another city he started crying at that and said he possibly could couldn't live
that way and asked me to reconsider I told him I knew he would never choose me
over his friends and I was feeling very Petty so I told him that Mimi would also
never choose him over her successful boyfriend nor would any of his friends
choose him over their own families he told me he was very sorry and that he
would limit contact with them but I told him there was no way I was going to be
with him I dropped his things and I wanted to cry because he wouldn't even
get up from the sofa or apologize or say that he wouldn't speak to Mimi again he
just turned his face away I left Mim later came by to my flat and asked if we
could talk so I let her in my friend says it was a dumb move but I was
working and crying at the same time so I wasn't thinking much she said that Tim
yelled at her for ruining his relationship and she didn't know what
she did wrong I honestly had zero energy for her and just told her if she was
done talking to please leave Mimi said that she just wanted to be there for Tim
and me making his dad cut him off was an awful thing to do I then asked why she
made a comment she knew would piss me off when I was being proposed to Mimi
replied that it was a joke and I shouldn't have taken her seriously I
just asked her to leave after that she said she hoped I would be happy in the
future so I guess that was it all of Tim's friends numbers are blocked
including Mimi I blocked Tim and I'll get the locks changed next week I wish I
could write something positive here but alas hopefully there will be no more
updates on this relevant comments responsible of front 900 I think you did
the best but if possible could you explain these are friends of your ex
better to me like is it some kind of friendship relationship where they only
stay close to him because he pays for everything for everyone o op they are
friends from school Mimi included they are a group of eight to nine people and
two of them are engaged and one is married Tim is technically the most
well-to-do guy in the group well his dad is plus Tim always helps them out he
helps build projects always sets up decorations at parties himself whenever
any of them hosts and even pays a few of their bills and always gives them gifts
I thought he was a very good man and very generous but never did any of that
stuff for me nor for his dad he only helps out his friends | give me a good story on Mywifeleftmeaftershegotinshapeandnowwantstogetbacktogetherorig |

aita for being cautious about letting my
ex back into our daughter's life after 5 years I 29f have a 5f with my ex 32m we
were engaged but never really planned to have kids before marriage or at least
for the next few years I was on the pill and he used protection sometimes but I
ended up pregnant since it was unplanned abortion was on the table he was more
into making it work so both of us decided to keep the baby I wasn't
emotionally prepared but for him love is all it takes to make everything work
fast forward 6 months he started to change he would give me the silent
treatment if I do something wrong he wouldn't engage in any conversation
about the baby and would just yell at me if I ask what's wrong I was almost 8
months pregnant when he told me he's just not ready to be a father and can't
do both things it's either fatherhood or his career I was scared to be a single
mother so I told him it's fine I can take care of our baby and be a s until
things get better for him but he refused and made it clear everything is over
since the house was his I left and went to live with my mom until I found myself
a place I gave birth to my baby girl and he never came to see her his mother and
sister were there for me and to this day
they're still part of my daughter's life as for him he gave up his parental
rights and granted me full custody legally but was willing to contribute
financially through child support he voluntarily provides financial support

AIT for faking my giving birth note I posted this on am I the but it
got deleted for breaking the rules my fault I got many messages asking for
re-upload and this site seems right I also didn't get a judgment on the
previous post I'll keep this as short as possible I 25f and pregnant with the
baby due in a couple of days my husband 25m promised that he would be the one to
drive me to the hospital and that he will be glued to the phone until birth
he works only 10 minutes from our home and his boss agreed to let him go when
the birth happens the problem is my mother-in-law my husband and her have an
unhealthily IMO strong bond and she is overly involved in our relationship
which has caused many issues in the past
she requires his attention every day she has suggested moving in with us ever
since I became pregnant she also has emergencies whenever we have
anniversaries important occasions like my birthday Etc as the date is
approaching I became increasingly worried that his mother will have an
emergency during birth and I will have trouble getting to | give me a good story on AITAforfakingmygivingbirthorig |

would it make you the jerk if your friend had a lawsuit and you helped the
opposition against your friend we'll get
to that in a bit but first am I the jerk for telling my child's daycare teacher
that my child won't finish cleaning up my two-year-old daughter's been in a
home daycare for a few months now the teacher Sasha is very nice I'm normally
all for my daughter cleaning her own messes however I find when I arrive
Sasha expects my daughter to finish cleaning up whatever she was playing
with which again would be fine but it delays us getting out the door and
heading home sometimes we have plans Etc I started texting Sasha when I was so
many minutes away asking her to get my daughter ready and that seemed to work
my daughter would be in her jacket and reading a book easy to put away versus a
huge Duplo project or similar until today things were crazy and I was in a
rush we had a lot to do this afternoon and I was running behind because I had
car trouble when I arrived my daughter and some friends were in the middle of
cleaning up a big mess I told my daughter that we had to go and get her
code Sasha said that she needed to finish cleaning up her part I said any
other day sure but I'm running late and we cannot miss this appointment Sasha
tried arguing that the kids need to learn responsibility and I flat out said
no I grabbed my daughter put our coat on and left as I said hectic afternoon so
we only just now had time to check my texts I had one from Sasha saying poor
planning on my part doesn't mean I can break rules I pointed out this is not in
the contract and I can bring my child home whenever I need or want she accused
me of undermining her Authority I was given a verbal warning which I found
ridiculous am I the jerk I kind of see both sides you definitely want to
encourage the daycare teacher's sentiment but at the same time you can
just pick your kid up and go whenever you want and pickup should not take
10-15 minutes every single time I mean let's boil this down to the simple
reason why those kids are usually in a place like daycare it's because these
are working pair with obligations that can't otherwise watch their kids so I
think it's more than understandable that any parent is going to be frustrated if
over and over again because the way the daycare operates you have to pick
everything up every single time and wait around I think that just shows poor
planning on the daycare teacher's part when it gets close to pick up time messy
activities should not be allowed also hi I'm Stephen and if you enjoy getting to
decide whether or not all of these people are jerks want to hit those like
And subscribe buttons down below that said our next story is am I the jerk for
calling my boyfriend's little sister racist because she likes K-pop for
background my parents and I female 21 moved from South Korea to America when I
was 13. both my parents are Korean too my boyfriend male 22 and I have been
dating for six months we go to college together my family lives in the same
city that our college is his family however lives in another city so I
haven't had the chance to meet them until now his parents invited us spend
the weekend over at their house so they can meet me up until now I've only spoke
a few times on the phones with his parents but not with his siblings he has
three siblings an older brother 25 sister 13 and brother nine the problem
with his sister is that apparently she's a K-pop fan my boyfriend had already
told me this prior to meeting her and he told me to get ready I thought that
meant that she would ask me to say something in Korean or something like
that it's happened to me before even by strangers in the street it's annoying
well first things first she greeted me with an hello in Korean I faked a laugh
and greeted her too it wouldn't have been such a big deal if that was it but
then she continued calling me Ani and asked me if I called my boyfriend oppa
in such things she then started asking where did I live when I was in Korea if
I'd met any Idols if I ever tried to be an idol myself Etc she insisted on
sitting next to me and she was taking photos of me eating because I looked
like an idol like what does that even mean I'm just trying to eat her mother
had to tell her to stop because I was very visibly uncomfortable after eating
she wanted me to go dance some K-pop choreographies with her because you know
every Korean knows how to dance I guess we stayed there over the weekend so it
was two days of non-stop of this kind of behavior I was so glad when it was time
to leave as soon as we pulled out of the driveway I told my boyfriend you were
not kidding your sister is worse than I imagined he laughed and said it was
expected of her to act like this so I told him so she's always This Racist huh
he took offense on that he told me that his sister wasn't racist at all she was
only excited to meet me I said that all she did during our visit was to make
assumptions about me and talk to me in a racist way like come on calling me Ani
when she doesn't even know the context of the word has to be racist for
Americans too right now he's mad at me I'm mad at him too for not understanding
my side too so who is right well I obviously can't be the authority on
whether this is truly right or wrong but
I do think a lot of what matters here is the spirit and intention behind the
things that are happening they may be misinformed or kind of dealing with
things in a somewhat inappropriate way too forward to miscalculated or
misunderstanding of what a social Norm should be in that situation but you
cannot say that there was anything hateful intended here when you go and
you label somebody as racist you would do so because they're doing things in a
hateful way or making a mimicry of people I mean all of this was just
coming from somebody that loves that culture so much they want to indulge
themselves in it and by extension know anything possible about your connections
to it too that said I definitely agree that what she did was just way too much
way too forward and way too assuming at the end of the day she's 13 and probably
just doesn't know better our next story is am I the jerk for refusing to go to a
child-free wedding if my son can't go there's a lot of Stories on here
regarding weddings and child-free weddings and overall entitlement but I
want to know if I'm right by saying this situation defers to the rest or if I'm
truly being a jerk my younger brother and sister-in-law are getting married
next year 2024 and sent out the RSVP earlier this February which is when this
whole fight started the invitations included tickets to the wedding along
with the dress code and a semi letter letting the attendees know that this is
a child's free wedding along with a few other formalities or rules or whatever
they want to call them not my wedding not my rules to make plus I don't have
children my only kid is 16 years old and I'm a single mom so the whole idea of
going to the wedding to enjoy a fun night to myself without kids is not
something new nor is it something I've had to worry about for a while the issue
issue isn't with the rule the issue is that the invitation originally came with
two tickets and we didn't think much of it because he's not a child so why
wouldn't he be invited turns out the No Child rule involves anyone under the age
of 18 and we found out when my son brought up the wedding during a family
dinner and both my sister-in-law and brothers seemed taken aback which then
led to questions and them finding out that they'd accidentally sent out two
tickets which then led to an awkward conversation and my son getting
Uninvited in front of the people present I'm genuinely trying really hard to
understand their side and the fact that it's their wedding not mine but I can't
get past the idea of the way they did so and how they made my son feel also the
fact that I had my son at a really young age and his dad was never present so my
brother was like a big brother to my son so I think my son and me are quite hurt
at the idea of my son not attending I would say me choosing to not attend is
nothing personal but I'd be lying if I did so I've been getting called immature
Petty and a witch but I think the situation would have been different had
it been made clear my son wasn't going to be invited from the start and not get
his invitation revoked randomly maybe it was an honest enough mistake and op
should have still gone but the moment people start calling op a witch calling
them immature calling them Petty maybe it is best for them to sit this one out
and stay away from those people I mean how is that ever gonna change somebody's
mind I mean how many times in history is somebody called another person a witch
and that person immediately goes ah you're right I've changed my mind our
next story is am I the jerk for telling my sister she's stupid and toxic for
comparing boy girl parenting I male 33 am a single dad to my daughter female
15. she's my buddy and I honestly love her so much my sister female 38 has
three boys and has made being a a boy mom her entire personality she always
goes on about how she loves being a boy mom and how raising boys is so much
easier than having a girl I usually just ignore it my daughter is a huge Taylor
Swift fan and I took her to the opening night of the eras tour I'm not a Taylor
Swift fan honestly but it was really fun seeing my daughter have so much fun and
just overall being so happy last night I was over at my mom's and my daughter
pretty much only wanted to talk about the concert my sister happened to be
there too my daughter ended up talking about having to wait about an hour to
get merch my sister laughed and ended up
going on a rant saying how she's so glad
she doesn't have a daughter and how easy
it is Raising boys compared to girls and even went as far as to say that she
feels bad for me having to be a girl dad my daughter didn't want to talk anymore
and was clearly upset by my sister's words that was very upsetting to me I
told my sister she was so wrong to say those things especially in front of my
daughter and that she's toxic and honestly stupid for thinking raising
boys is easier than raising girls I told her she needs to find a new personality
outside of being a boy mom she ended up leaving while calling me the biggest
jerk my mom also accused me of being rude and basically a jerk because my
sister just loves her boys and I shouldn't judge her for thinking girls
would be more difficult to raise so am I the jerk I don't think Opie's The Jerk
they were standing up for their kid that got unnecessarily slighted right in
front of them I mean here's this kid happy and just going on about things
that made their week and they basically get a verbal slap upside the head way to
make them feel bad about their entire existence for no reason our next story
is am I the jerk for ruining precious childhood memories I wanted to pour a
new walkway from the end of our driveway which terminates in our front yard by
the sidewalk around the the house to our backyard where we have a nice little
garden and gazebo set up there are a lot of kids and stroller moms and dads in
our neighborhood some children saw the wet concrete drying and stuffed sticks
and rocks into it and some carved their initials in as well along with their
palm prints well I was not thrilled I dug out the debris then smoothed the
concrete back over and put up a sign Reading Please do not disturb drying a
mom I'm usually friends with we've walked our dogs alongside each other
said I was a mean old curmudgeon who was ruining precious childhood memories for
the kids who may want to go back and look at their initials and palm prints
one day and reminisce someone else took down my sign I noticed the next day it
was lying in my yard by the bird bath far away from where I'd placed it am I
really the jerk for this it's my private
property these aren't my kids you know I
would maybe say something if it was op's
kids and like it was the mom who was you know enjoying celebrating that with the
kids and Dad's being a mean old curmudgeon smoothing everything over but
no all of these people in the neighborhood need to control your
Offspring I'm sorry that fixing my ruined backyard walkway constitutes as
ruining your newly founded childhood memories let's expand on those childhood
memories and get a vandalism charge to go with it shoot we'll get a copy of the
paper of that charge put it in some epoxy and cement it right into the
walkway this next story is am I the jerk
for making my kids shower too often so I 31 year old female have been married to
my wife 35 year old female for two years now she has two kids from her previous
relationship nine-year-old male and seven-year-old female but their dad
isn't in the picture and I consider them my kids and they see me as a parental
figure even though they don't call me Mom or anything like that because I work
remotely and start work later than my wife I'm in charge of getting the kids
ready in the morning and taking them to school which can be a hassle it's
usually a fight to get them out of bed which leaves us with barely enough time
to get ready and get to school on time I always enforce they take a shower when
they wake up too that's how I grew up and I feel I just feel more refreshed
and actually ready to take on the day however trying to get everything done in
the morning has led to a few late drop-offs at school to the point where
my wife was notified she asked me what was up and she was confused why the kids
had to shower in the morning when they already shower at night I told her the
two showers a day serve different purposes a short one for waking up
getting a jump start on your day and a longer one for cleaning up after running
around all day and it's not unreasonable
it's what I do personally she says since it's making the kids late to school it
is unreasonable I said then the kids got to get up earlier which she was not
happy about obviously I I don't want the kids to be late to school but part of
the issue is these kids don't want to get up and get started and we've never
been significantly late before so I don't know anymore so am I the jerk for
making my kids shower twice a day 100 in my personal opinion if you shower at
night you don't have to shower or freshen up in the morning I mean yeah
you gotta brush your teeth but how messy is your kid's bed that they need some
kind of spritzing start shower just shower once at the end of the day and be
done with it I mean shoot I know kids will run around and get messy but you
don't even have to shower every single day our next story is am I the jerk for
reminding my relatives not to touch my stuff because of what they did last time
I live on the west coast and I regularly
host my relatives from the east coast in Europe I love the back country here and
showing it off to my relatives is one of
my favorite things to do I'm a geologist for a mining outfit so I have all kinds
of equipment and training my uncle from Germany brought his family here before
kovid and we had a great visit until one
of my cousins started looking through my garage when we were packing up for a
short camping trip I made sure that they were all aware of the reasons for using
bug spray Beyond mosquitoes we have ticks in the area and long pants are the
best way to avoid them but insect repellent is also a good idea my idiot
cousin found my bear spray and thought she might like to try and give herself a
nice coating to be safe from bears if you do not know bear spray isn't meant
to be worn as a topical application you spray it at a bear's face to get it to
bugger off she ended up coughing her lungs out and covered in all the milk
products in my house plus some extra that my wife had to go buy and every
once in a while I'll move something in my garage and catch a whiff of the
capsaicin my cousin wants to come back for a visit now I was reluctant she
asked me why and I reminded her of her last visit to my home four years ago I
asked if she had gotten better about keeping her hands to herself I guess her
and her boyfriend share the Facebook account that she contacted me from he
asked what I was talking about so I told him what she did now her dad is mad at
me for bringing up a stupid mistake she's mad at me because her boyfriend is
laughing at her and my wife is mad at me for sharing family information I wasn't
trying to embarrass her I just hate how much time and effort I had to put in to
clean my garage and my gear honestly I think this is one of those stories that
they need to learn to just take in stride because it's honestly kind of
hilarious and like would be the perfect story to be able to share if you have
humility just imagine sitting around and you get a big old laugh because he
talked about the time you looked around in the garage you saw a bear spray and
you thought to yourself oh well I don't want Bears to come near me so I use it
on myself next thing you know I was double fisting milk cartons trying to
keep my eyes from burning that's a great story and it's a very valid thing to be
like reminder don't touch anything our next story is am I the jerk for making
my girlfriend cheap lasagna I 24 year old female make a delicious lasagna from
scratch that takes hours and lots of money to make it's so good that friends
and family ask me to make it for them for birthdays instead of getting them a
gift last month I decided to make it for
my girlfriend 23 year old female I spent a lot of money on the ingredients and
then more than half the day making the herb infused fresh pasta dough the Ragu
Etc when she came over she took a couple of bites and said that she didn't
understand why I spent so much time and money on it because it tasted exactly
like the Lasagna she would make with canned panzani bolognese sauce and Boxed
Pasta sheets not similar not kinda like but exactly like it my feelings were a
little hurt and not gonna lie but I understand that to each their tastes and
and I just told her that I'm sorry she didn't like it that much and then kept
pushing it and suggested we watch a movie Flash Forward to yesterday she was
coming over for dinner and I asked her what she wanted to eat and she said
lasagna so I bopped over to the store and got panzani sauce and pasta sheets
to make it because a she said my lasagna and the quick made one tasted the exact
same so no need to spend on a lot of ingredients and B because even if I
wanted to make my recipe I wouldn't have the time since it takes me an entire
afternoon which is why it's a special occasion thing so she showed up in my
house took one bite of lasagna and then spat it out and said that it tastes
different when I told her I made it how she did she got really upset at me and
said that I wasn't putting in effort and
that she was expecting me to have a real meal and not something cheap I pointed
out the comments she made last time and she rolled her eyes and said she was
clearly exaggerating so then I got upset because what the heck the situation got
brought up to our mutual friends most have stayed out of it but two of them
think I'm the jerk because my girlfriend clearly meant she wanted my special
lasagna which is why she asked for it as dinner and that I should have let her
know beforehand that I was going to make one using pre-made sauce Etc I think
it's clear that that's what I was gonna do because she literally asked for
lasagna two hours before coming over which is not enough time to make this
special one even if I wanted to am I the
jerk to clarify the cheap lasagna tasted just fine pretty tasty even just not at
all comparable to the original one in my
opinion I mean could Opie have mentioned it sure could they have known it's
possible that they didn't know that it took that long but is Opie The Jerk
after those comments she made definitely not you know if I spent a lot of time
trying to make like a really good mac and cheese and somebody said oh that's
exactly the same as crap then yeah next time I'll just make you craft because it
takes 15 minutes our next story is am I the jerk for not letting my
sister-in-law use my wedding dress for her wedding even though she can't afford
one my 28 year old female younger brother 24 year old male and his fiance
23 year old female are supposed to get married in the spring after being
engaged for about a year my younger brother has always been the Golden Child
between the both of us to my mom not to my dad him and his fiance currently live
with her rent free might I add my dad and I on the other hand have had mixed
feelings about this wedding we both feel like my brother's rushing into things
and not being financially smart he just finished his bachelor program a year ago
and is still trying to get on his feet and find a good full-time job in his
field and decides to spend thousands of dollars on a wedding we sat him down and
explained this to him and asked him what the rush was why not push it off for a
few years and say gave up so you guys can really have the wedding of your
dreams he explained to us that his family is pitching in a couple of
thousand for the wedding my dad's reluctantly pitching at a couple
thousand as well all important later well a few nights ago I'm eating dinner
with my husband when I get a call from my future sister-in-law convo starts out
normal hey how are you crappy weather we're having etc etc until she tells me
that she has a serious question to ask me she asks me if she can use my wedding
dress that I wore to my wedding just over a year ago she explains that she
can't afford one herself that she absolutely loves mine and that it would
be her Something Borrowed I immediately shut her down and said I'm sorry but no
this is a thousands of dollar dress we're talking about that she'd have to
get altered to fit her by the way too so no way we're also not even close at all
and barely talk so like what the freak she starts begging and even starts
crying and going on about how she can't afford one I told her I'm sorry but no
she then starts going on about how I'm not even financially helping her and my
brother pay for the wedding so the least I can do is let her use my dress I told
her the honest truth that I think they're rushing into having a wedding
and not being financially smart she said she didn't care she has a timeline and
wants to be married by 25. I basically said to her that she made her bed so now
she has to lie in it and figure it out herself and if she can't afford her
wedding dress then she shouldn't be having a wedding simple as that she ran
back to my mom and my brother to tell them what I said they think I'm the jerk
because I have the money to financially help my brother and his fiance but I'm
being selfish and unsupportive they also think it's just a dress so what's the
big deal my dad's on my side and defending me and is now thinking of
taking back his financial help due to the sheer audacity of my brother's
fiancee asking me such a thing yeah I think Gopi has absolutely no obligation
and anybody who tries to convince Opie that they do have some obligation to pay
for any part of this wedding is ridiculous this next story is am I the
jerk for not agreeing to change our son back to public school so I got a job at
a private high school the school gives free admission to the children of
faculty and staff as well as to their lower grade schools these schools are
way better than the public schools in my area I want to send my son to the
private elementary school unfortunately my son's mother was not really on board
with this she thought it would make things difficult since she also has a
daughter who will be starting school next year our child custody agreement
has a part where we cannot change our son's Education Without both of us
agreeing so my son couldn't go unless her mother said yes since the main issue
she had was her daughter not being able to attend next year I told my ex about
the school's policy that siblings of current students have priority on the
admission list so with our son enrolled she'll also be able to enroll her
daughter my son's mother was happy with the idea after that and agreed the
school has really early deadlines for things so my son's mother was trying to
enroll her daughter for the next school year that's when she found out that
while her daughter would get priority admission she would have to pay tuition
the school does offer scholarships but they're more for exceptional or diverse
students so her daughter is way down on the list my son's mother is now very
upset by this and thinks I tricked her even though it was obvious her kid
wouldn't get in for free since she's not my kid she's still insisting it's going
to create problems down the line for example she thinks it'll cause animosity
between her daughter and our son as he will have more opportunities she also
said it would be hard to deal with the kids being in different schools because
they're far apart about a 15 to 20 minute drive difference she wants to
change her son back to public school but she can't unless I agree to it I still
don't see the point she hasn't made a convincing argument on my side the
school is way better than his old school and he's happy and settled and has
friends at his new school on her side her daughter may get a little jealous
and she may have to drive a little more on the days she has our son honestly I
think the mother's behavior in this is a little disgusting they're kind of
putting their wants and their needs over the ones of their own kids education I
mean God forbid Opie goes out there and does whatever they can to get their son
the most opportunities possible our next story is would I be the jerk if I
brought my own food to a vegan dinner party so I've been invited to a vegan
household for a dinner party of the total people going six of nine aren't
vegans anytime a meal is hosted elsewhere where we have two meals one
vegan and one not so everyone can enjoy what they like not here though this is a
strictly vegan household no cooking meat products on the barbecue no cheese no
eggs no fish I get not wanting to cook meat on their barbecue I have an entire
section of my grill sectioned off for vegan and gluten-free cooking I found
out what they're making for everyone I'm allergic to mushrooms and they know it
and their main course is a Portobello steak it feels on purpose I would feel
disrespected as a host if a guest brought their own food to my dinner
party then again I try really hard to make sure everyone has options for them
at mine so would I be the jerk if I brought a George Foreman and some
burgers to cook up outside I think both sides are wrong here because obviously
if Ops allergic to it and they know it they shouldn't be serving something that
Opie's allergic to or you know offer something else for op but also I think
it's a little too far if this is a very clearly straight quickly vegan household
NLP brings over a George Foreman and starts grilling burgers our next story
is would I be the jerk if I gave my dentist a written statement to help
defend him against my friend who's trying to sue him I 55 year old female
have a friend Gene of similar age she's not what I'd call a close friend but
I've known her for a long time she's the type of person who always thinks she's
right and won't back down easily from anything a few months ago she had a
toothache and asked me which dentist I used my dentist is amazing so I
recommended him she has a dental phobia and asked me to go with her to her
appointment he was lovely to her spent a long time talking to her explaining
everything put her at her ease she had a big abscess under one of her back teeth
he said it either needed root canal and a crown or extracting the root canal
Crown would be the best part of a thousand British pounds total and he was
really clear that it was a big abscess and there there was no guarantee root
canal would work he actually said the odds were 50 50 and it might be better
to extract the tooth and put that money towards an implant or Bridge instead he
said he could offer no form of guarantee or refund if problems happened he was
clear in what he said and I know she heard and understood that the odds
weren't great she decided to go ahead with the treatment I went with her to
one further appointment but not all of them fast forward a few months
everything was okay initially after the root canal and Crown but then she got
another infection she had antibiotics but the problem persisted and she ended
up having the tooth out she is a livid you'd think he was the worst person in
the world from what she says about him she wants to sue him and has been to a
lawyer to get advice she's claiming that she wasn't properly warned that the
treatment may not work apparently the lawyer is confident she'll get a payout
he's told her that it'll be hard for him to prove he properly warned her and
dentists are insured for the stuff they think his insurance will pay out because
it won't be worth their time to try and defend it I'm really annoyed at her for
this because I know she's lying about not being warned I really like the
dentist and I feel awful for him that he faces legal action for this and that I
was the one who introduced her to him I worry that it'll reflect badly on me in
his eyes when I see him in the future I've never argued with her about it
because I witnessed him warning her but she says it's none of my business her
view is it doesn't hurt him because you'll have insurance like I said she
doesn't back down from things I feel so strongly about this that I want to send
a written statement to the dentist that he can use back against her I would
state that I witnessed the appointment when he warned her and that she clearly
heard and understood what he said I know that in doing so I would probably lose
her as a friend but to be honest I don't
care about that at this point my husband thinks I should do it he's never liked
Gene he describes her as an Nightmare and thinks I'm best off without her as a
friend so would I be the jerk if I did this I mean morally if it feels like the
right thing and you also really like this dentist and don't want to be on bad
terms with them I don't blame you for going out on a limb and sticking up for
them in a situation where you know they weren't wrong but with that being said
that's all the time we have for today now if you want to hear another crazy am

I handed him divorce papers today over his Reddit account and a bag of chips
obviously it goes without saying it wasn't just the bag of chips but Hot
Cheetos were my breaking point I couldn't take it anymore I had already
had the terms of Separation drawn up 6 months ago when during a heated argument
he said we don't have kids you should be
thankful it's only me you clean up after I kept hearing it in my head thankful
for cleaning up behind a grown man 10 years older than me he apologized the
next day in detail and told me why would he said was wrong and that he doesn't
believe it but maybe it's just out of my character but I don't think the things
you say in those moments are just hurtful words little bit of Truth in
them and then I found his Reddit account a few days ago I accidentally saw the
username when he showed me a screenshot I tried lount not really not to memorize
it and it took me two days to get the courage to look in between the comments
on NSFW subreddits was complaints about me and posts about me too one post he'd
be ripped to shreds and told he was a piece of crap reading those comments
made me realize I was nothing but a idiot to think love can fix
things I was 20 when I met him and he was 35 I thought people were being
dramatic or annoying about our age Gap because my single father who raised me

I pretended to investigate a cheating spouse for a client but use the money to
have fun with friends instead what happened when the client found out I was
a pie and some rich hired me to check if his wife was cheating on him
after weeks of surveillance I found nothing suspicious he wanted me to keep
going for another month but I knew there was no point in it so when he called
again ready to give me more money I told him the truth that she wasn't doing
anything wrong but this guy wouldn't take no for an answer and demanded that
I keep following her until he got what he wanted F that so instead of tailing
her I used his money to hang out with my friends and have a good time while he
remained clueless about what was really going on eventually the dude asked for a
meeting at his house so we could discuss
the case which didn't exist in the first place when we met up he showed me every
room except the one where we were supposed to talk about his wife's
Fidelity because it didn't effing exist when confronted about this
deception he got aggressive but eventually agreed to pay me back for all
my time and expenses after leaving his house I went straight over to his wife's
place and told her everything that had happened which helped her secure a
divorce settlement quickly afterwards to top it off we started dating soon after | give me a good story on ipretendedtoinvestigateacheatspouseforaclient |

today we have a crazy entitled parent story of an entitled Disney adult we'll
get into that in a bit but first left her kid alone in a bookstore for hours
thought it was totally normal this year happened a while ago I recently got
reminded of it after meeting an old friend thought I'd share the story
because I know after 13 years in retail and customer services that many people
would think that what she did was okay back when I worked in a bookstore in a
shopping mall there was this little girl maybe 5 to 6 years old just sitting
quietly in Corner looking at the pictures of a book at that moment we had
just noticed her because she was kind of hidden tucked in a corner and was
totally silent we asked where her parents were she said her mommy was in
the shop next 2 hours and told her to wait in the bookstore we asked if she
knew how long it had been and she pointed to the hands of clock where they
had been when her mom left it had been nearly 3 hours I still can't believe
that kid stayed quiet for so long and I'm still kicking myself for not
noticing her sooner we took her to the mall security and they started looking
for the mom that brainless woman was in another mall next to ours three smaller
shopping malls on the same street next to each other the mall security were
shocked one of them was a dad and went to get the kid biscuits and an apple
juice he knew right away she was really hungry after 3 hours all alone waiting I
never forgot how happy she was munching on those chocolate chip cookies and
sipping her juice box they called the police and child protection services me
and my colleague waited with the kid we had actually brought the book with us
for some reason reason so she wouldn't be too scared when the Mom finally
arrived I swear she did not understand at all why what she did was wrong and
she got ticked at us for going to security she argued that her daughter
was safe in our store and that she knew to not cause trouble that got the police
suspicious because the kid was indeed very quiet and eerily well behaved
looking back it's kind of obvious that she was scared into being this quiet and
calm child the mother's justification was basically that since our store was
selling books for kids and some toys we were essentially babysitters and that we
were the ones in the wrong for not wanting to do our job and watch the
children needless to say the cops were just totally done with her and took her
to the police station the kid went with Child Protection Services the mom was
kicking and screaming threatening to sue us for slander and defamation of course
that never happened but I hope that this little girl is now with better people
that she's now with people who love and cherish sure if there really is like a
notable subsection of people who believe
leaving your kid alone unattended in any kind of store and I don't mean like
wander around and look at the wees alone while you're shopping somewhere else I
mean how many of us wanded off to go look at the toy aisle or the electronic
section while the parents did all the shopping but purposely leaving your kid
in a bookstore and then going to an entire different building not only is
that ridiculously unsafe not fair for the staff but also I think you could
really freak out your kid doing that I remember as a kid going to the grocery
store with my mom and I wandered off looking around at stuff while she did
the main shopping and after a while I wanted to find her and I just could not
find her and I almost started just panicking I started worrying did she
leave without me in reality we must have
just moved perfectly in sync around each other so that we could never just run
into each other this Daydreamer wrote I used to work in a book store and it was
really upsetting how many parents would do this once it was a 5-year-old old
left in charge of an infant we're still not sure where Mom went but she did
return just in time yeah Mom was dang lucky we hadn't called CPS another time
the mom was in the same store but it was a massive store her four-year-old
daughter sought me out in tears because she couldn't find Mommy we paged mommy
by name several times and got no reaction finally I took the poor kid by
the hand through the store to see if she recognized anyone mommy was about two
aisles from the information desk and she barely ackowledge the kid even after I
pointed out that her kid had sought me out scared to tears the girl got a
single pat on the back and that was it no eye contact was involved she did
admit to me that she had heard and understood the pages though and then
there was the day when I was doing Zone work right by the center aisle I was
minding my own business until I saw a four-year-old boy walking up the center
aisle looking scared and clutching a large picture book lovely he didn't want
to talk to me at all because I was a scary stranger so I had to pretty much
chased the kid through most of the store I finally got him cornered in the cafe
and squatted down to his level and asked where his mommy was she went to the
grocery store freak just in case with just a trace of wistful hope I asked did
she leave you with a grownup not everything is a tragedy the answer was
yes mommy's best friend was busy tearing apart the children section looking for
her charge and was already talking to staff for help he had told her he was
fine putting a book back in the next aisle maybe not so much I get it kid I
don't have a sense of direction either we did have too many parents leaving
their children in the section with books for young people but we didn't have any
horror stories purely by good luck hello parents we never had the staff to offer
babysitting I haven't worked there for years but I know they have fewer
employees now creeps are out there keep an eye on your kids yeses also hi I'm
Steven and if you guys enjoy crazy entitled parents stories want to hit
those like And subscribe buttons down below that said our next story is my mom
isn't allowing me or my brother to receive our inheritance in full is she
in the right so November last year my great uncle passed from a stroke he
lived in a farm Bungalow with quite a number of Acres that he owned after his
death his land was sold for a very large
amount of money The Bungalow hasn't been sold yet but not many people are in the
market for one nowadays anyway fast forward a few months and our mom's
explaining to us about the inheritance and I thought nice I'll be able to get a
new car and potentially put a mortgage down for a house I'm only 18 so I
probably won't until my 20s then another
couple months down my brother managed to crash his second car in a month jerk I
know and as he had smoked recently to that crash when the police arrived they
drug tested him and he got done plonker since this incident our M has been drug
testing us every week and if we test positive for anything we get the boot I
didn't help my cas as I'd gone to a weekend festival and did a couple drugs
my only argument is that it's the most typical setting to do the drugs I did
and at the end of the day I'm 18 and wanted to have a bit of fun try new
things you know and when I got back I was welcomed with a drug test and I was
out of the house for a week before I tested negative on the drugs I did after
this she spoke with both me and my brother and told us she will not be
giving us our inheritance and monthly installments each month we have to test
negative every week and if we don't for even one week of that month we don't
receive the month's installment all I'm after is can she do this she reckons she
can but I don't know I've tried researching but I can't find much if I
can get an answer that'll be great so if the great uncle specifically left
inheritance to you as in she's not like an executive of the will or anything
like that she's not the trustee that is intentionally processing installments
for you it's actually said in the wheel that you get these monthly installments
no no matter what then yeah she can't weaponize it and I don't understand why
there would be a chain of custody going through her giving that money to you
guys but it sounds like if you're going to contest that it probably is going to
get messy and very legal very quickly heck no no wrote as beneficiaries of the
will you have a right to see the will and if there are any stipulations who is
the executive of the will I would talk to them and if it's your mother then
you're going to need a lawyer I don't know what the laws are where you live
but it sounds very very unusual for a beneficiary of an estate to have someone
else decide when slash if they get the money do you even know how much money
you got our next story is told my mom I got married 3 years ago am I the jerk
hear me out my mom has a long-standing pattern of disliking all my boyfriends
every single one she is so so with my female friends but every time I brought
a BF home three times she started talking badly about them blowing up the
littlest things for examples I didn't like this one because he left his shoes
in the hallway I didn't like that one because his feet are too big this one
has a baby face does he even have hair on his chest and so on my third
boyfriend turned out to be serious we've been together 17 years traveled the
world super happy he is my best friend we even bought an apartment together
which she knows during Co we got married at the Town Hall just the two of us we
like to throw parties for the people we like but weddings are just not our po
thing it really wasn't a big deal for us and even our friends we only told when
it came up I mean 17 years in a life together who would be surprised anyway
told my mom over dinner the other day I visit her about once a year as I live on
a different continent she totally flipped first she acted like she wanted
to celebrate I was surprised but thought okay whatever and went to open a bottle
then she goes let's cheer to burying this topic forever to which I obvious ly
say no if she can't be happy for me what should we be cheering too I went to my
room now the next morning she still can't get over it bringing up the fact
that I didn't tell her for 3 years over and over she's really upset about it and
says it's because my now husband is dominating me she only ever met him
twice 15 years ago and was so rude I never brought him back it's like she
wants the Antics and status of a wedding in mother-in-law without putting in the
emotional work of at least trying to connect to the ones I love I just don't
get her reaction thoughts honestly hearing this whole story first of all
I'm going to say op's not the jerk my only thoughts are I understand why you
didn't tell her for 3 years that reaction is all you need to know about
why you don't tell this person any kind of news regarding this stuff Magnus
wrote why are you bothering with her you said yourself that she's never going to
be happy about anyone you know Opie responded saying I know she's still my
mom I I try to keep at minimum contact because I do love her even if I don't
like her but considering going back from a week a year to a weekend our next
story is entitled parents want me to stay open 30 minutes after closing I
work in a small souvenir shop in a park it's quite remote so it takes around 5
minutes to access via tractor/trailer ride and 10ish minutes walking every day
I have to shut at 3:00 p.m. company rules so can't change it one day around
an hour from closing a couple come to my shop and grab a few snacks for
themselves and as they pay ask what time I'm closing I say 3:00 p.m. they thank
me and carry on their way I was a bit confused why they asked is there's three
plus signs at the entrance to the park and on my shop explaining closing time
and also the tractor driver says our opening hours to everyone who catches
the tractor trailer but I Shrugged it off they may not have been paying
attention as I'm starting to close everything is packed away everything is
turned off the couple come back again it's important to mention the woman
looked like a young cigarette mom so I was expecting a little bit of trouble
she buys a few ice creams and again asks
me when I'm shutting I say 4 minutes she rolls her eyes and TS she says well
can't you just stay open an extra few minutes my kids are waiting to come down
on the tractor and have been waiting for ages the driver keeps forgetting them
they're only five and seven I tried to not act shocked she was leaving her
young kids alone in a busy Park but I calmly explained to her that we were
shutting and there's literally nothing I can do I could not have kept open even
if I wanted to she did not like this answer and the dad started rolling his
eyes asking if I could just stay open another 30 minutes so his kids could
have a look around and buy some things I said no again they then intentionally
started taking their time to buy things so I carried on packing up around them
by the time they were done deciding all I had to do was turn the till off as
soon as I put their things through they demanded my radio so they could ask the
tractor driver to make me stay open he can't do anything they stormed off to
get the tractor back to the entrance of their park screaming at the tractor
driver to be quick so they can bring their kids down I closed that till in
the door faster than I ever did before when the tractor returned the parents
were screaming wondering why the shop shut down the tractor driver said he got
an earful from the parents when he suggested they just go to the main shop
in the park instead of mine it sells literally the same things entitled
parents I hope not to meet again I think it's either hilarious or horribly
stressful when somebody asks oh when do you close and then the reaction to the
information is essentially no that's not
going to work for me can we do something else just one big oh boy here we go
Mountain girl 60 wrote I literally used to look people like this right in the
eye and lie to their face I would let them know they had about 2 minutes to
get up to the register so I could get them checked out because the register
was on an automatic shutdown when Closing Time came it would allow me to
finish whatever transaction I was doing and that was it after that transaction I
couldn't do anything else but close it and honestly there are registers that do
this but they didn't know mine didn't and I didn't care because we were
literally open for 12 hours of the day you had all day to do this our next
story is moved for empty promises so I figured I'd share my family story
involving my wife's parents I was in the Army for a better part of a decade
meaning we moved often and were typically pretty far away from any
family my wife's parents for all of those years would constantly tell us how
much they wished we would live closer and how they would help with our three
girls and spend time together I ended up getting out in 2018 and took a job
around 12 hours from them they were really upset but I needed to provide for
my family so I took the best job I could find they continued telling us the same
things if only you lived closer we could do X Y and Z together yada yada Q 2020
in the world shutting down and there was Zero outside socializing my wife and I
decided to uproot our family to move closer to hers because we thought it was
as good a time as any and we thought it would be good for the kids and wouldn't
you know it we see them less now than when we live 12 hours away the excuse
now is that because we live 30 minutes from them it's too long of a drive to
visit each other regularly the guil trips never stop though they still
complain if we don't drop everything for something they want to do we finally
call them out not on their BS we're only here for their convenience we are play
things to them that they can pull out whenever they're feeling bored and then
put us away and ignore us for the rest of the time they rarely spend time with
their grandkids and only really want to see us on major holidays we're now low
contact and plan to move as soon as possible they act like we somehow
betrayed them and make statements like we don't want to live communally like a
cult by the way that was in response to us suggesting a once a week family
dinner so yeah turns out the people who I previously had a lot of respect for
are full of crap and extremely selfish really sucks though because my family is
absolute garbage physical and mental abuse my entire childhood so I was
really happy to have married into a loving close family guess not I feel
like this is a genuine like behavioral issue I don't know if I've ever heard a
specific description of what this is but it's that kind of thing where something
you do want is out of your grasp so you act like oh only if were within my grasp
I would use it all the time and you do get that and it might be even good and
like you described for a short amount of time until you get bored of it and let
it go again to just put it kind of the best way I can it's never fun to be
treated by your own family like you're their new year new me exercise bike
purchase that they've gotten tired of after using it for a month furry bat 007
wrote that's actually incredibly crappy on their part they wanted you and your
family to move closer by saying that they would help you raise raising your
three kids and then once you move and they're just 30 minutes away they don't
help in any way what makes it even sadder is they probably know you were
raised by abusers so you were looking forward to having good in-laws and
family but those jerks just had to go and be toxic and manipulative Opie
responded saying it is really crappy the cherry on top was we were going to back
out of buying the house we're in now because there were serious issues that
needed to be fixed father-in-law said to go ahead and buy it and he'll help me
with the repairs after a year of ask asking him to come over and help with
them he told us that he didn't have time
to and to just hire someone to do it our next story is neighbor thinks her kids
bedtime should decide when I can do my hobbies my neighbor female 27 has five
kids and one more on the way she doesn't work she's not ill or anything just
chooses not to lives off benefits and is all sorts of entitled tonight I was
working on my brother's birthday present and this included needing to make a few
Cuts with a chop saw it was 900 p.m. and I was done by 9:15 p.m. in my country
the curfew for noise or noise disturbance is p.m. she then sends
me this long Facebook message about how her kids bedtime is 8:00 p.m. and
therefore I need to not use power tools after that time and could I only use
them in the daytime so as to not wake her kids I replied saying that I was
done now bear in mind she sent that message after literally less than 10
minutes of noise and that I couldn't confine my usage to daytime because I
have a job up I could have said a lot more I felt like saying to her your kids
are going to be living with a screaming newborn in a few months so maybe focus
on teaching them to sleep without it being perfectly silent but I restrained
myself even so the very little light did say clearly set her off she sent me
another paragraph about her kids needing to be ready for school at 8:00 a.m.
before blocking me I feel like there's kind of two sides to this I mean
personally I don't know if I'm going to ever feel perfect comfortable using
power tools in the neighborhood after 900 p.m. but at the same time you got to
do what you got to do and also it's not even breaking any kind of noise
disturbance law is it maybe the most considerate thing maybe not but in the
grand scheme of things does it genuinely matter probably also not crew Jones 43
wrote I have a shop and I always try to keep the power tools off after 9:00 p.m.
Noise by law a 11 however one day in the
dead of winter our furnace died I wanted to start up my wood stove as I have a
wife two kids and water pipes I didn't want to burst I had no small pieces of
wood ready I needed to chop enough to get the fire started at 6:00 a.m. I
absolutely hated my neighbor but I still
felt so bad making noise I swung the axe four times at the wood pile between our
houses and then got the fire going he told all my other neighbors that I
always chopped wood at 6:00 a.m. Opie responded saying yeah I totally get get
that I wasn't reving in making noise I was as quick as I could be and it's the
first time I've ever made noise in the evenings our next story is update on my
parents assume they'll live with me when they're old my 29-year-old female
husband 28-year-old male and I are house hunting as we're expecting our third
baby in November and are hoping to move out of our trailer park by the end of
summer we were interested in a house that was essentially my dream home
Victorian built in 1900 but completely refurbished on the inside but with all
original wood floors and detailing gorgeous a house like this would easily
be $200,000 last year or the year before but the housing market is dropping and
we found it for approximately 140,000 we live in the midwest it has four to five
bedrooms and two full bathrooms my parents the other day asked where they
would stay when we come to live with you this was never a discussion they just
always assumed they would live with me when they're older I always said no well
we messaged the finance person about what the monthly payments would really
be on the app it estimated $950 plus a month we figured we could swing that but
needed to know for sure before putting an offer in she came back with over
$1,000 not doable for us we're going through a program and have a grant so we
aren't Rich lower middle class at best thankfully we have another house we had
in mind a craftsman style built in 1920 with built-ins wood floor floors and a
nice sized fence in the backyard the basement even has a slightly finished
room perfect for hiding from storms and tornadoes and it's $20,000 less than the
Dreamhouse it's just a little smaller and the bedrooms were pretty small but
it's something I was willing to deal with we saw it before we saw the
Dreamhouse well when updating my parents on the house situation my mom all but
through a fit you don't have to go with the first house you see I say it wasn't
she says you can wait until something else comes up I tell her actually no we
can't some weird law was passed in our state in regards to Realtors and our
realtor wants us to find a house before it goes into full effect in July or
August which just gives us more incentive to find a House Pronto so far
no other houses have popped up in our area in our budget she says you're about
to have your third kid where are you going to put him I reply bunk beds are a
thing she says are you going to sleep in the basement if you have more I say
we'll cross that bridge with we get to it she says it's so tiny I reply it's
bigger than what the pictures show but yes compared to the Dreamhouse it's
definitely smaller than that but it's also more realistic I knew what she was
really worried about where will we stay but she didn't say it she started
looking at other houses on the app and tried to bring them up to me they were
all houses we had already looked at or were too far away from my husband's work
she was really trying my dad was pretty chill about the whole thing she she even
brought up a house that needed serious work we want to live in the house Mom
and we don't want a money pit she practically growled at me the call soon
ended after that ETA for all of those explaining the realtor law thing to me
in the comments thank you my husband did
explain it to me as well but I do better
with reading information than hearing it also I mentioned this in a few comments
but it might be buried soon the Craftsman is not looking doable for us
either unless it goes down in price by like
$10,000 we only qualified for 3% down on our program so we would still be paying
more than we can or want to each month we're looking at other houses some a
little further away from my husband's job it seems all the more affordable
houses that are in decent shape are almost an hour commute from my husband's
work which is something we are okay with we aren't overly happy but are willing
to roll with it because it's not the worst thing in the world so needless to
say a realtor saying oh there's some new law being passed so we've got to make
sure to get this new house purchased right away definitely sounds like in the
best interest of the realtor and not the
person looking to buy their I don't know if it's forever home but a purchase to
the level of buying a house anyway that said it doesn't surprise me that all the
more realistic affordable options coincidentally seem to be about an hour
away from op's husband's work that's probably the main reason why they're so
affordable is because they're way out in the middle of nowhere shoot the commute
to the local grocery store is probably not negligible no clever nickname 2021
wrote do not let your realtor pressure you until you look up that new law I
believe it's the one that will not allow
them to set their commissions as high SO waiting could save you money good luck
with the house search and your delusional mother Opie responded saying
it's actually something about us having to legally pay him out of pocket in
combination with the commission he thinks it's stupid he was fine with the
commission he was recommended To Us by my husband's sibling he's more concerned
about finding us a decent home than the commission which is why he's so popular
he's a rare breed of realtor our next story is father-in-law wants his son to
face me like a man my father-in-law is an immature conceited Manchild he wants
us to spend more time with him and thinks that threatening us will make
that happen everything blew up on Father's Day because we didn't visit him
my husband chose to spend time with us because he's also a father we spent time
together with the kids went out to eat a peaceful day with the family then
father-in-law loses his crap in the family chat because he apparently
expected us to show up at his house on the other side of the state he called my
husband all kinds of names threatened him said he needs to face his dad like a
man whatever that means my oldest is on the family chat and read all of it so
now we've no contact with a family vacation coming up he's not welcome and
if he shows up which we've been assured he won't we are leaving I hate that this
man's attitude is potentially ruined a vacation for my kids and and I hate even
more that they don't have a grandpa anymore not that he was ever much of one
anyway thanks for reading just needed to vent although op describes it as
potentially losing a grandfather like op said I don't think they were ever much
of one to even begin with and obviously it is much better for them in the long
run if they don't have to associate with someone like that sock full of Nichols
wrote my father during the last blow up from breaking no contact said that I
need to stop hiding behind my mother's skirt and face him like a man in I'm 41
married own my own home and have a normal relationship with my mom he says
that because I'm still in contact with her and he hates that she has access to
me the last time we were in each other's

entitled Disney adult demands that I change clothes in the middle of a
crowded restaurant to preface the situation came up a few years back but
still lives rentree in my mind from how absurd it was I was on a family vacation
at Disney World a few years back I 19 at the time was staying on property at a
resort but on our first night we had dining reservations at a different hotel
that was a fair distance away it was a casual buffet style restaurant so there
was no dress code or reason to be fancy so I wore a pair of shorts and a graphic
tea of a unicorn that said everything sucks in a glittery cursive font about
halfway into dinner when I got up to seconds a woman probably in her 40s
stepped up to physically block me and immediately started shouting in my face
about my obscene clothing I just stood there completely baffled while she went
on and on about her young children who were calmly eating on the other side of
the room being distressed by my disgusting and inappropriate shirt and
then demanded I take it off in the middle of the restaurant when I told her
I don't exactly carry replacement clothes with me she demanded that I go
to the gift shop and buy a new familyfriendly shirt specifically one
with Disney princesses or mini on it because that's what her children would
like to see at that point I didn't want to deal with her anymore and said that
I'm not here to appeal to kids I don't even know the waitress would have
stopped me at check-in if there was a problem with my clothing and I just
wanted to eat my dinner and leave I walked away to get the rest of my meal
and left her screaming at me for a few minutes before she eventually gave up
hope those kids turned out okay you know chances are growing up with a parent
like that what are the chances those kids did turn out okay although to be
fair there are a lot of stories here where there will be some entitled livid
parent making some ridiculous statement or demand and a very apologetic looking
young teenager who looks like they want nothing to do with any of that but with
that being said that's all the time we have for today now if you want to hear

ITA for telling my friend she is ruining
her child's life with the name she gave her so I 21f have been friends with
Loren 22f for 17 years now and we're really close she recently gave birth to
her daughter and her and her husband recently told us the name they decided
to name their daughter gilet pronounced Juliet and her middle name is Maria I
thought the spelling was a joke until she told me they are serious I told her
that with that spelling of a simple but beautiful name is just going to ruin
that little girl's life she got mad and told me to stop ruining her mood and
then I'm being mean I'm completely honest the spelling is just bad nothing
else can explain it why ruined such a beautiful name by including letters that
don't belong there I texted her yesterday and told her that the little
girl will try to change her name or at least go by her middle name since it's
normal she told me to stop texting her that I'm a bad friend and that I'm being
the for making fun of the name I don't think I am when I told her that
the spelling is just bad | give me a good story on AITAfortellingmyfriendsheisruiningherchildslifewiththenameshegaveher |

:00.269 --> :19.850
So, on today's episode of wtf from the nighbours.....
I need to have them approve when I do things :19.850 --> :22.230
that make any sort of noise. :22.230 --> :27.430
My neighbor just ran my doorbell to tell me
his wife said to stop hammering. I was dumbfounded.
:27.430 --> :31.970 I just kinda stared and said excuse me? And
he infor.ed me that we would be unable to :31.970 --> :37.280
make any sort of noise for the next few months
because of their baby. To which I laughed :37.280 --> :42.560
in his face and closed the door. And now his
wife is screaming at my door and he is messaging :42.560 --> :45.440
me to please just so what his wife says. :45.440 --> :50.670
So some background. My spouse bought this
house in 2011. Both houses are single fsmily :50.670 --> :57.870
detached homes. Both lots are 1.5 lots so
there is 33ft roughly between our houses compared :57.870 --> :02.570
to the 6ft for the reat of rhe street. Neighbor
husband was already in his house. I moved :02.570 --> :07.149
in 8 years ago. Shortly after, saw the neighbor
for the first time and it was someone I've :07.149 --> :12.080
know since I was 4. Went to school all the
way through hughschool together. We are 40. :12.080 --> :17.079
3 years ago he met someone. She had at the
time a 2 year old girl. She woukd stay at :17.079 --> :21.679
his house and I woukd constantly find the
kid wandering the streets. They woukd just :21.679 --> :27.670
send her outside with no supervision, no toys,
no fenced yard and expect her to entertain :27.670 --> :33.750
herself. The child was and still is nothing
but a brat. 2 years ago she moved in with :33.750 --> :39.290
her daughter. I run a daycare so my yard is
full of fun toys. But we also have 3 other :39.290 --> :45.779
fenced off areas. 1 for our pool in the summer,
1 for our dogs, and 1 for our hottub. All :45.779 --> :51.099
have seperate fences and self closing gates
plus my external fence is 6ft. During 2020 :51.099 --> :55.679
when covid hit bad the kids were doing virtual
schooling from home. She never actually did :55.679 --> :00.459
it. She woukd be riding my doorbell in the
middle.if the day asking me to open my yard :00.459 --> :04.889
for her. I would explain that she can't be
here when I have daycare kids and my daughter :04.889 --> :09.610
will come out to play after supper. She went
to their backyard, dragged patio furniture :09.610 --> :15.740
to my fence and climbed in. Who know how long
she was actually in there. But she decided :15.740 --> :20.530
she was done and then couldn't get out. The
latch for my main gate is at the very top :20.530 --> :26.080
so the babies can't open it when my bzck is
turned. She started screaming, I ran out in :26.080 --> :31.510
a panic. Took her home, explained what happened
to mom and mom gave me s*** for just not allowing :31.510 --> :38.980
her to play. I face $100k fine if she is caught
on my property during daycare hours. I explained :38.980 --> :44.440
this, she still snapped and called me a b****.
I left it at that. Happened a handful more :44.440 --> :49.930
times. I started sending them daycare invoices.
Still kept happening, I finally told them :49.930 --> :55.380
I would have to call the police next time.
Which I did. Except this time, mom and grandpa :55.380 --> :00.230
were both sitting outside on the stairs and
watched her do. Also never bothered to come :00.230 --> :05.650
help her open the gate when she started screaming.
Police gave them s*** and told them to stop :05.650 --> :10.690
or mom would be charged with child endangering.
I know have proximity sensors at the top of :10.690 --> :15.930
my fence and get a notification if anything
goes over my fence. It's gotten better as :15.930 --> :20.830
she has gotten older. So last summer, we setup
our above ground pool. Just ordered a new :20.830 --> :27.430
pump system and heater. Pool was half filled.
I had also just done up all my planters. I :27.430 --> :33.320
casually glance at my security cameras and
see her by the pool. I head out. Main gate :33.320 --> :38.600
was open as the nughborhood kids were running
from yard to yard playing. She took it upon :38.600 --> :44.770
herself to go to the pool and take buckets
of soil from my planters and dump it into :44.770 --> :53.290
the pool. $400 damage to my brand new $1000
pump/heater system that was up less than 4 :53.290 --> :59.220
hours. I snapped and screamed at her to get
out if my yard and not come back. She is not :59.220 --> :03.220
allowed in my yard at all unless me.or my spouse is out there.
:03.220 --> :09.150 Now to current time. They had a new baby last
week. And me hammering in my basement is disturbing
:09.150 --> :15.960 them in their house 33ft away. And they expect
me to wait until the fall to finish my project. :15.960 --> :20.769
So I'm currently sitting on my bench outside
enjoying a glass of water with my outdoor :20.769 --> :25.960
speakers playing metal while I mow the lawn.
Which is much more louder than the little :25.960 --> :29.660
bit of hammering. Ill finish that tonight after dark.
:29.660 --> :31.710 EDIT: Lots of people are saying to call police
and cps. I do call police when I feel it's :31.710 --> :35.940
neccessary. We have a major drug gang issue
and they are busy with that and overdoses. :35.940 --> :41.590
If i call, because it's non violent and rhey
recognize the address it's at least 24 hours :41.590 --> :45.070
or usually not at all. I've spoken with child
protection agents and this does not fall under :45.070 --> :47.249
their umbrella. It's not neglect. The kid
doesn't listen. End of story. It's not like :47.249 --> :49.330
the parents are telling her to do it. As for
those concerned about her wandering the neighborhood,
:49.330 --> :52.810 I'm in a smaller city. My kid has been playing
by herself in the neighborhood with regular :52.810 --> :54.190
check ins since she was 4. I have no issues
with that. At 2 and 3 when she originally :54.190 --> :55.990
did it was ridiculous. As for saying not to
let my daughter play with her, i cannot take :55.990 --> :57.610
away my daughters entire friend group which
is exactly what would happen. We are 1 of :57.610 --> :00.360
3 houses in a row with kids. House 1 has 3
kids, house 2 (problem house) has 2 kids, :00.360 --> :04.469
house 3 (me) has 1 kid. House 1 and 2 all
go to the same school. They are already outside :04.469 --> :05.590
playing by the time ny daughter gets home.
My daughter does activities saturday/Sunday :05.590 --> :09.240
mornings so same thing. So not allowing my
daughter to play with 1 kid, also takes 4 :09.240 --> :13.259
others away.So this story takes place years
ago when my daughter was learning how to swim :13.259 --> :17.919
at the local YMCA. I had bought her a nice
pair of goggles so she could see in the water :17.919 --> :21.860
while learning how to swim. There is a group
of three or four kids that were playing nearby :21.860 --> :26.229
that caught her attention. The one little
girl came over and was being really nice to :26.229 --> :31.189
her and started talking to her. I was very
excited for her because I know making friends :31.189 --> :36.699
can be difficult. So the kids start striking
up a conversation and I noticed that my daughter :36.699 --> :42.160
took her goggles off and handed them to little
girl. The little girl then puts them on and :42.160 --> :47.849
swims away from my daughter. My daughter just
kind of sat there frozen in the water looking :47.849 --> :52.309
deflated. I saw her try to go over and talk
to the girls but then they started to swim :52.309 --> :57.199
away from her, ignoring her completely. I
went over to where my daughter was and I asked :57.199 --> :01.479
her what the problem was. She said the little
girl was talking to her and ask her if she :01.479 --> :06.879
could play with her but wanted to use her
goggles. So my daughter as generous as she :06.879 --> :12.779
is, let her the goggles. However, as soon
as the little girl got her hands on the goggles, :12.779 --> :17.699
She didn't want to have anything to do with
my daughter anymore. I was mad. I went over :17.699 --> :22.379
to where the little girl was and I told her
that I needed the goggles back that you borrowed :22.379 --> :27.499
from my daughter. She looked at me nervously,
but gave me the goggles back. Then her and :27.499 --> :32.589
her friends swim away towards where I'm assuming
their parents were. Of course about five minutes :32.589 --> :37.469
later, the mother comes over in my direction.
She said to me " why did you take those goggles :37.469 --> :43.159
away from My daughter.? They aren't yours.!"
I said " you're right. They are my daughters.!" :43.159 --> :48.100
She says " well she isn't using them , she
can barely swim. She should just let her use :48.100 --> :52.530
them instead of hogging them to herself. " I
then told her that if she did a better job :52.530 --> :57.400
at raising her daughter, then the two of them
will be sharing, playing together, and having :57.400 --> :03.309
fun . but here we are, because her daughter
manipulated mine into handing over her goggles :03.309 --> :07.150
and letting her think that they were going
to play together. I told her that I didn't :07.150 --> :12.559
have time to deal with garbage human beings
and she should get back on her side of the :12.559 --> :17.369
pool. She gave me a dirty look as she walked
back to her seat. It definitely became apparent :17.369 --> :22.729
that my daughter felt uncomfortable after
that and wanted to leave. It's such a big :22.729 --> :57.710
pill to see my daughter have to swallow realizing
that people could be so crappy sometimes.Disclaimer:
:57.710 --> :10.759 My :10.759 --> :15.789
dog used to be an owner trained SDIT (service
dog in training) currently this is under review :15.789 --> :20.919
as I’m questioning washing him. So I will be saying “was” in referring to him as
:20.919 --> :22.629 a working dog for now.
:22.629 --> :28.809 Colton is my 100 pound, 1year old, GSD and
I’ve had quite a few incidents involving :28.809 --> :34.721
entitled parents pawning their child or children
off on my dog without permission (in and out :34.721 --> :39.260
of vest). But there is this one incident in
particular that definitely takes the cake :39.260 --> :42.040
as the worst EM I’ve ever met. :42.040 --> :47.500
At the time of this incident Cole was probably
around 9months. I was at a local pet-friendly :47.500 --> :52.390
park to go over public training with Cole.
I go to this particular park quite often and :52.390 --> :57.880
had never run into any problems until this
point. This is probably where I should mention :57.880 --> :04.520
why I had a SDIT, I had Cole for multiple
reasons but the main reason was for my anxiety. :04.520 --> :10.270
I am prone to severe panic attacks that can
hinder my ability to go about life as normal, :10.270 --> :12.780
and Cole was tasked trained help with this. :12.780 --> :17.630
During the park trip things started off relatively
normally, I was going over basic commands :17.630 --> :23.660
with Cole. But after awhile the park started
getting unusually busy for the times I go :23.660 --> :28.960
and I started feeling slightly overwhelmed.
I contemplated leaving but considering I hadn’t :28.960 --> :33.640
even gotten halfway through the training session,
I just moved further away from the larger :33.640 --> :39.190
crowds near the jungle gym part of the park to a quieter, shadier area.
:39.190 --> :43.940 After going through the basics for awhile
longer I move on to DPT training, for those :43.940 --> :48.650
who don’t know what DPT is it stands for deep pressure therapy, it’s a technique
:48.650 --> :54.450 used to ground anxiety patients. Essentially
I lay on the ground and my dog lays over top :54.450 --> :00.840
of me, think weighted blanket. Relaxing slightly
I decide to close my eyes, two minutes later :00.840 --> :06.680
though I hear kids running around me and open
my eyes to a group of 4-5 young kids playing :06.680 --> :12.960
tag. No big deal I thought so I closed my
eyes and ignored them. Literally moments later :12.960 --> :18.110
though I feel Cole moving more on top of me,
and then he all but jerks to the side. :18.110 --> :22.810
I open my eyes to see the group of kids that
were playing tag, now standing and sitting :22.810 --> :28.460
around me petting and pulling Cole’s harness.
How I didn’t notice sooner is beyond me :28.460 --> :33.990
but neither the less I was mad (for like two
seconds) until I reminded myself that these :33.990 --> :37.710
were kids and decided I’d use this moment as a teaching lesson.
:37.710 --> :40.760 Me- “Excuse me? Please don’t pet my dog.”
I said politely :40.760 --> :43.860
Kid- “why not? He’s just laying down?” :43.860 --> :48.650
Me- “Well you have to ask people before
petting there dogs, they may not be friendly :48.650 --> :53.660
or they could be nervous around people. You
see my dog is working, this vest he wears? :53.660 --> :58.180
It says ‘do not pet’ because he’s doing a very important job right now and can’t
:58.180 --> :00.790 be distracted. It’s for my safety.”
:00.790 --> :05.260 The kids ask a few more questions which I
answer to the best of my ability’s, and :05.260 --> :10.550
they apologize and walk away. I was happy
with myself I managed my anxiety and handled :10.550 --> :15.700
the situation pretty well, I also managed
to teach these kids some important manners :15.700 --> :23.620
about meeting dogs and SD’s. I was content,
so I closed my eyes again and laid back, assuming :23.620 --> :25.300
this situation was over. :25.300 --> :27.370 I was poorly mistaken.
:27.370 --> :32.020 I just want to say now, that I do not blame
these kids for what’s about to happen. :32.020 --> :36.350
A good amount of time later, I hear someone’s
footsteps heading in my direction allowing :36.350 --> :41.710
me to know someone was walking up to me, but
not just walking up to me they were stomping :41.710 --> :47.580
up to me. And then I hear someone obnoxiously
clearing there throat. I open my eyes to see :47.580 --> :51.440
this middle aged women with her hands at her hips glaring at me.
:51.440 --> :57.030 EM- “Excuse me?!” This women sounded very
annoyed and impatient, now another thing you :57.030 --> :02.210
all should know about my anxiety is that I’m
not good at confrontation, like at all. :02.210 --> :05.980
Me- “Is something wrong ma’am?” I asked politely trying to stay calm
:05.980 --> :11.850 EM- “Uh.. yeah ‘somethings wrong’”
she sassed. “Did you tell my child and there :11.850 --> :14.310
friends that they can’t pet your dog?” :14.310 --> :20.510
Me- “uhh… I don’t know, who your kid
is, but yeah I did ask a group of kids earlier :20.510 --> :22.350
to not pet my dog, why?.” :22.350 --> :27.640
EM- “Uh huh, well that was my kid. And I
just want to know why you think you have the :27.640 --> :32.950
right, to parent my kid and there friends
and tell them what they can and cannot do.” :32.950 --> :39.530
Me- “E-excuse me?” I was stuttering and
utterly confused. My people skills aren’t :39.530 --> :45.330
great, my social skills lack a lot and my
anxiety makes communication and confrontation :45.330 --> :50.140
really hard. I know these things and except
them, I fully understand that I may not pick :50.140 --> :56.871
up on every social cue and can be overly sensitive
at times. But even without my anxiety, you :56.871 --> :01.310
have to keep in mind that I’m a mirror whose
laying on the ground with a grown a** women :01.310 --> :05.280
literally standing over top of me. The situation wasn’t great.
:05.280 --> :11.730 EM- “you heard me!” She shouted “or
are you stupid or something!” (FYI, the :11.730 --> :13.770
word she used wasn’t stupid) :13.770 --> :19.980
I swear, I was shocked! I couldn’t believe
an adult actually said that out loud and to :19.980 --> :27.060
a child none the less. I could feel my anxiety
rising by the millisecond, and Cole was positioning
:27.060 --> :33.160 himself further on top of me to keep me from
shaking like a leaf! I didn’t respond right :33.160 --> :36.480
away and it took me a moment to gather my myself. :36.480 --> :43.130
Me- “Ma’am. My. Dog. Is. A .Service. dog.
He literally has patches on him that say ‘do :43.130 --> :49.690
not pet’ your kids distracting him can put
my life at risk! He’s not here for entertainment, :49.690 --> :50.690
he-” :50.690 --> :52.940 I was cut off by… you guessed it EM
:52.940 --> :58.880 EM- “That doesn’t matter, you’re probably
just faking for attention, and besides your :58.880 --> :04.620
dogs just laying there, he’s not doing anything!
So my kid and there friends should be allowed :04.620 --> :06.040
to say hi!” :06.040 --> :10.160
At this point I’m on the verge of tears and I’m gripping Cole’s harness for dear
:10.160 --> :14.980 life, I’m at the point we’re I can no
longer formulate words or keep my thoughts :14.980 --> :19.670
straight! I knew I was about to have a panic attack, cause I was a mess.
:19.670 --> :24.630 Luckily though the commotion seemed to have
attracted other people, specifically adults :24.630 --> :29.930
who came over to help. I don’t remember
much, just people talking to EM loudly and :29.930 --> :34.680
her stomping away with her child I presume.
And some adults crouched beside me asking :34.680 --> :36.050
if I was okay. :36.050 --> :40.990
I managed to convince the adults I was fine.
And I called my parents to pick me up. I explained :40.990 --> :46.730
some of the situation and they were p*****,
rightfully so, and even considered filling :46.730 --> :52.060
a report but I was against it. I never saw
the mom or kid again but I did see some of :52.060 --> :56.960
there friends, on a walk past the park. They
all apologized to me, and said all they told :56.960 --> :01.880
their parents was how nice I was being and
explaining everything they learned about SD’s. :01.880 --> :04.540
EM just took it way out of hand. :04.540 --> :08.940
But it’s okay. It’s almost been a year
since this happened and I’m over it. I actually :08.940 --> :48.230
find it pretty humorous and laugh at how crazy
EM was now. Glad I’ve never run into her :48.230 --> :23.670
again though.I (f21, southern US) nannied
for EM for 2 years. I have a chronic illness :23.670 --> :30.100
which nobody knows the cause of, but is theorized
to be autoimmune as over 90% of cases test :30.100 --> :35.090
positive for autoimmune antibodies. If I get
a flare up, I will be sick for a week and :35.090 --> :41.280
a half while a normal person might be sick
for 3 days. I also get deconditioned and fatigued. :41.280 --> :47.290
EM was told of my illness at the beginning
of my job. I cared for EM's two children, :47.290 --> :49.800
Max (5) and Daisy (8). :49.800 --> :54.470
Max is not potty trained despite being 5 (edit
for clarity: he just turned 5 recently and :54.470 --> :59.110
EM mentioned several times she was trying
to potty train him, I saw the kid potty but :59.110 --> :05.360
he didnt use it while I was there) and refuses
to wipe himself. I have let him sh## directly :05.360 --> :11.410
into my hands while he was lying on the floor
not 3 feet from the nearest toilet because :11.410 --> :17.750
he threw a tantrum and "didn't want to". And
yes, I wiped his a## after. He throws toys :17.750 --> :23.550
at me and tantrums often. He breaks things
and then point to me to yell "it's your fault!" :23.550 --> :28.130
Daisy has bullied kids and screams bloody
murder randomly to get attention. She calls :28.130 --> :34.941
Max names (stupid, dumb, annoying). Her favorite
game is "rich vs poor" where of course, every :34.941 --> :41.190
time she makes me poor. If I go to the bathroom
she will stand outside and . She sneaks around, :41.190 --> :45.910
steals things she isn't allowed to have, goes
through my belongings, grabs things without :45.910 --> :51.470
asking, and has broken my phone before. One
time I told her I ran out of phone data so :51.470 --> :55.500
I couldn't let her use it and her response was "just buy a new one".
:55.500 --> :00.880 I want to be clear, I am NOT blaming the kids.
They mimic behaviors that were modeled by :00.880 --> :05.560
others. They seem normal but I dont know if
they have any issues. This is to show how :05.560 --> :07.300
much I gave to the job. :07.300 --> :14.120
EM neglected to tell me the kids were sick
FOUR TIMES during the past few months: :14.120 --> :18.480
First time: Daisy is always hyper. I try to
be patient with her because I genuinely don't :18.480 --> :24.210
know if she has behavioral issues and it's
not my place to ask. Today, she was calm and :24.210 --> :31.060
had bedhead. She was in casual clothes but
I thought nothing of it. The EM says nothing. :31.060 --> :35.610
When she's gone, Daisy brags to me that she
stayed home from school. I asked why, and :35.610 --> :41.170
she said "I'm sick!". I panicked but I figured
EM was just busy taking care of two young :41.170 --> :46.800
kids and forgot to mention it. When she came
home, she made a beeline to Daisy. I think :46.800 --> :51.780
she thought she was out of my earshot because
she whispered to her quietly saying "poor :51.780 --> :57.160
baby, how are you? Do you feel better?" Luckily
I have great hearing and caught it. As soon :57.160 --> :59.360
as I went home, I cleaned off. :59.360 --> :05.690
2nd time: again, EM acted like nothing was
wrong. I was not told her kids were sick. :05.690 --> :12.770
When she left, they said "guess what?" I ask
"what" and Daisy AGAIN says "we're sick" :D. :12.770 --> :19.150
I decided to probe and asked "how do you know?"
Max says, "I threw up TWICE." Daisy jumps :19.150 --> :25.300
in, "I threw up ONCE!" I asked when and Max
said "yesterday!". I got a cold as soon as :25.300 --> :28.990
I got home and was mildly sick for the rest of the week.
:28.990 --> :34.460 At this point I realized I was intentionally
not being told and told family members I wanted :34.460 --> :40.321
to quit. They told me how mean and terrible
I was because "you're helping a mother" and :40.321 --> :43.440
"they can't help it" and "muh babys!" :43.440 --> :50.080
3rd time: I went to take care of Max. I was
told it would be "easy" and only for a few :50.080 --> :56.760
hours. Within 15 minutes I hear earsplitting
crying and go upstairs to find Max sobbing :56.760 --> :03.170
that he had diarrhea and nightmares. I felt
bad so I changed him and wiped the liquid :03.170 --> :09.620
sh## off his bare a##. I put him back to bed
and he woke up again with MORE diarrhea. I :09.620 --> :14.900
repeat the cycle and he tells me after I'm
done "can I tell you a secret?" I say "yes :14.900 --> :20.730
of course what?" He says "I'm sick. I have
a cold". He hugs me because he's scared and :20.730 --> :29.840
sneezes into my face. EM again mentions absolutely
nothing when she comes home. After that session, :29.840 --> :36.460
I was sick for a week with diarrhea, stomach
cramps, brain fog and joint pain (during finals :36.460 --> :37.460
week). :37.460 --> :42.400
At this point I decided I was going to quit.
Yet again I was gaslit and told I would regret :42.400 --> :44.820
my decision. But I made up my mind. :44.820 --> :49.530
4th time: This was the last day after I made up my mind to quit.
:49.530 --> :52.640 I was told again this day would be "easy".
:52.640 --> :58.300 Max woke up within 15 minutes sobbing. I waited
a few minutes to see if he goes back to sleep. :58.300 --> :04.130
I then hear the biggest fit of coughing I've
ever heard so I go upstairs and lo and behold, :04.130 --> :09.730
he is coughing up a storm and says he woke
up with nightmares and needed to be changed. :09.730 --> :15.590
I changed him (luckily not diarrhea but still
vile) and he told me again "can I tell you :15.590 --> :22.260
a secret? I have a little cold. I feel nauseous
and I have diarrhea and cough." He was terrified :22.260 --> :27.640
so I stayed in the room with him until the
session ended. He coughed the whole time. :27.640 --> :30.059
Again EM mentioned nothing. :30.059 --> :34.870
I should mention that out of these times,
3/4 of them were date nights. Only one was :34.870 --> :40.920
school related. Also, EM knew that I had gotten
sick after one of the dates. The "I have a :40.920 --> :46.160
secret" phrasing makes me think the kids were
told not to tell me they were sick. I don't :46.160 --> :50.640
regret being there for the kids while they
were sick or being there with Max when he :50.640 --> :56.020
was scared and couldn't sleep. I DO feel upset
that I'm missing an important event because :56.020 --> :02.620
of something that was easily preventable.
The EM was nice and accommodating otherwise :02.620 --> :06.240
but this was something serious tha affected me a lot.
:06.240 --> :11.970 So here I am, sick for 4 days, with my 21st
birthday 3 days away. And I will spend it :11.970 --> :19.570
ill, unable to go anywhere and with an autoimmune
flareup. My birthday, health (and MDW for :19.570 --> :26.110
that matter) is ruined because EM decided
that her being overwhelmed was a bigger problem :26.110 --> :51.130
than me being chronically ill. :51.130 --> :09.520
I just needed to rant. Tried to post before
but didn't have enough karma. Thank you for :09.520 --> :19.410
listening. I love you all, hope you have a blessed dayCast
:19.410 --> :23.910 Me(M) My husband (M) EM (F)
:23.910 --> :30.271 Background: My husband has a lot of old sh
scars and other scars on his arms/legs, which :30.271 --> :32.970
are pretty hard to hide without long sleeves and pants.
:32.970 --> :37.740 We went out to a park that was pretty close
to our house that I used to go to a lot alone :37.740 --> :42.120
(stopped going alone since they built a playground
there and there were a lot of kids and the :42.120 --> :48.220
moms always gave me side glances if I sat
around too long, I get why, but it still sucks) :48.220 --> :52.220
We walked around for a while and decided to
sit at a bench that was pretty close to the :52.220 --> :56.760
playground (neither of us felt like walking
to find another one, and it seemed fine to :56.760 --> :57.760
sit there) :57.760 --> :02.350
My husband ended up taking off his hoodie
just because it was very hot out, 15 or so :02.350 --> :04.470
minutes later this lady comes up to us :04.470 --> :09.170
EM: hey, could you maybe leave? My son is playing over there.
:09.170 --> :11.560 H: wait, why do we have to leave?
:11.560 --> :17.440 EM: I don't want my son to see those… Gross
things (referring to the scars) :17.440 --> :20.050
Me: we're not doing anything, just ignore us :20.050 --> :26.380
EM clearly gets upset that we didn't listen
to her and storms off, I wanted to leave since :26.380 --> :31.580
I was pretty uncomfortable, but we ended up
staying for a little longer. EM comes back :31.580 --> :32.690
after a little while. :32.690 --> :35.680
EM: I thought I told you to leave. :35.680 --> :39.920
H: It's a public park, we don't have to leave just because you said so.
:39.920 --> :45.660 EM: (talking to me) why don't you and your
friend just leave. Those marks are disgusting. :45.660 --> :53.260
Me: (shows ring) he's my husband. Also, his
scars are none of your d*** business to begin :53.260 --> :55.800
with, we aren't hurting you in any way. :55.800 --> :02.600
EM: (looks offended) oh ew you're one of those…
(Drops f slur) no wonder you are over here, :02.600 --> :03.710
you pedos! :03.710 --> :06.000 H: don't call us that.
:06.000 --> :11.510 EM: whatever! I'm calling the police on you
(Drops f slur again) :11.510 --> :14.910
Me: do it, since you're clearly the one harassing us.
:14.910 --> :19.970 EM: (walks off to call the police or something,
and we wait for the cops to come) :19.970 --> :23.170
We waited for a while and eventually the police came.
:23.170 --> :25.710 Cops: what's exactly the issue?
:25.710 --> :32.210 EM: They are harassing me! These (f slur.
Again. I swear, if you're going to insult :32.210 --> :38.741
me based on nothing but my sexuality at least
get creative with it, smh homophobes) are :38.741 --> :42.460
pedos, and they clearly like my son! :42.460 --> :46.711
We explained what actually happened, they
seemed pretty annoyed that they had to come :46.711 --> :52.820
for something so dumb, they ended up giving
EM a ticket for disturbing the peace or something :52.820 --> :58.929
and left pretty quickly. EM kept throwing
a tantrum, but we left afterwards, not really :58.929 --> :04.060
wanting to get called more slurs. (Also because
she was giving us both bad flashbacks from :04.060 --> :06.370
our own homophobic parents) :06.370 --> :57.220
I feel bad for EM's kid through, hope he can get away from her once he grows up. | give me a good story on rEntitledParentsCRAZYMOTHERCALLMEAFGGOTRedditStoriesen |

Welcome Friends to another r slash am I the jerkier video today we've got a lot
of hard-hitting questions and our first story of the day is from Bubble Bash Joe
am I the jerk for telling my overweight sister she should wear clothes that fit
her I 30 year old female love my sister 24. we get along great growing up not so
much my sister has always struggled with weight issues to the point that we were
never allowed to use the word fat even if it wasn't to describe a person she
had worked through a lot of her confidence issues but once her mom
passed she regressed mentally and began binge eating she's now much heavier but
refuses to buy new clothes this has been over the past couple of years I never
said anything before because of how sensitive this topic is for her well she
got a big girl job she started a week ago we met up for lunch and as she
walked in her stomach was hanging out she fixed it but then immediately it
came out again I asked her if she was work from home or in in the office she
said in the office and I told her her stomach was out and she said that she
knew and was fixing it all day I told her to go shopping with me this weekend
and we'll get clothes to fitter and I'll pay since she hadn't gotten a check she
said they do fit her and that I shouldn't body shame her I explained
that she can wear whatever she wants but it's not appropriate for an office job
she started crying and stormed out am I the jerk I think Ops just trying to be
honest and they weren't commenting about the weight they weren't saying it's a
negative thing they were just saying that the clothes that she's wearing
don't appropriately cover her nothing to do with weight nothing to do with
appearance it's just you shouldn't be wearing clothing that allows your
stomach to show all the time do you guys
think in a situation like this there was
ever going to be some kind of wording to get the point across that doesn't upset
them let me know what you guys think in the comments down below our next story
is from djdkgj-e-i-s am I the jerk for bringing
up an embarrassing story a week ago go I went out with friends and one John got
so drunk they couldn't walk my friend was going to Uber John home but I said
I'll let him sleep at my place when we got to my apartment John got out of the
car fell asleep in a puddle when it was raining like crazy I had to drag him
inside I left him there and he's twitching his head and can barely move
he was dead weight I went into another room and he peed himself the next day
John was extremely embarrassed he said he was sorry he was a burden and
thankfully took care of him he made me take fifty dollars to buy cleaning
supplies and bought me breakfast and then Uber to his car he cleaned up too I
didn't see him since until a friend had a dinner party at the dinner party I
kept saying John had an uh oh the other day John why don't you tell everyone and
then he kept saying no and this isn't respectful of his boundaries to keep
pushing if he said no then I showed everyone a video of John twitching and
passed out because I thought it was harmless and funny John was like this
isn't the play and then I was like John tell everyone what happened the next day
John texted me listen sorry I was a burden but I didn't intentionally do
that I think it was unnecessary and cruel that you try to humiliate me at a
dinner party with all our peers and then blocked me I didn't think it was that
big of a deal as he made it am I the jerk for sharing an embarrassing story
of a friend so I don't know if op is just doing a bait post here but I would
hope that most people can agree that op is definitely the jerk here I know if I
had an experience like this where I went
a little too crazy and I had an uh oh as
Opie calls it first of all I think it is extremely weird and extremely creepy
that Opie's taking videos of their friend if I was John I know I would be
livid at op I would not be able to trust op and I would be looking to cut Opie
out of anything imagine that being one of the lowest moments of your life maybe
one of the biggest mistakes you've made to end up in that kind of condition and
it's being broadcasted to a bunch of people who know nothing about it and
don't need to know anything about it and then video proof of it too our next
story is from Mrs stewart21368 am I the jerk for flipping
out of my husband for canceling my daughter's job interview my daughter Mia
is 23 years old she's a college graduate and recently started looking for a job
her stepdad my husband has been begging her to come work at his company but she
refused because she said that most employees there are men and that they
make uncomfortable comments about women and they make her feel uncomfortable she
went to the company many times and was feeling uncomfortable she said that in
those 30 to 40 minute visits she couldn't handle the negative Vibes so
she couldn't imagine working eight hours plus every day my husband insisted and
basically gave her a prose list that he thought is enough to make her reconsider
she still refused her best friend found her a job opportunity at a company
that's well known in our area and Mia was excited beyond measure she even went
shopping for new clothes just for the interview however the day of the
interview I got a call from her crying saying her interview was canceled I was
confused thinking something must have gone wrong but she said that her stepdad
got home and told her he canceled the interview using her email which led to
an argument I was livid I went home and I flipped out at him like I just lost it
on him and he was shocked by my reaction he defended himself saying he did this
for her own good and that he was frustrated after she kept turning down
his offer to join him in the company he lashed out saying that instead of siding
with her I should be encouraging her to join the company and help make it better
instead of working for others I got out of the room and he shut the door and
stayed inside the whole time we're still on non-speaking terms but he
occasionally threw in how he just wanted
what's best for the whole family but now Mia missed an opportunity to work with
respectable company and gain the benefits that it helped her progress in
her career I think not only is op not the jerk I think they're a good parent
for flipping out over this because I think Opie is right on the money it is
unfathomable that this guy would go and do that considering what the husband
just went and did it is no wonder why there's such a terrible environment
being fostered at his workplace the dude went and canceled her interview and is
trying to force her to accept to go and work for him after Behavior like that
I'm saying this step dad maybe shouldn't
even be involved in her life you know go
and sabotage the kid in the kid's dreams our next story is from
throwaway3490771 am I the jerk for wanting to tell my stepdaughter that her
dad installed a tracking device in the new car he bought for her 18th birthday
I female 36 have been married to my husband for three years he has one
daughter Christine she'll soon be 18 years old and he's bought her a new car
as her birth Day gift here's the thing Christine's mom is deceased she has a
good relationship with me in fact not too long ago she told me I was like a
second mom to her this of course means everything to me however she and her dad
don't get along that much I have to say that he's incredibly overprotective of
her but has done things that affected their relationship like how he caused
her to break up with her ex-boyfriend after he got diagnosed with multiple
health conditions because of that Christine's grown distant from her dad
for her 18th birthday he wanted to throw her a big celebration and buy her the
car she always wanted as a way to reconcile with her they're on okay terms
now but he says he wants to gain back her trust two days ago I overheard him
speaking with a friend of his about installing a tracking device in the new
car I was stunned I brought it up with him later at night and told him how
wrong this was he said it was none of my
business but I told him that if and when Christine finds out then there's gonna
be trouble he got upset and went on about how he's just doing this out of
concern and protection for her and said it was none of my business whatsoever
since I didn't buy the car I called them
unreasonable and said that if he doesn't
back off then I'll tell her at the party and when he hands her the key he was
shocked at this he called me crazy and said I shouldn't have been snooping and
listening to his private talks in the first place I said I'd tell her but he
told me to stay out of it since it's his daughter not mine and that if I wanted
to parent my way then I was free to have my own children this stung because he
knows I can't have kids due to infertility problems we argued about it
and I said I'd still tell her he called me unhinged and said I get no say nor do
I have the right to get involved whatsoever just stay out of it he kept
repeating I consulted my mom and she agreed it was none of my business she
told me to stay out of it and not try to stir drama and cause scenes she said I
should know better and stay on my husband's side since step kids are
always flippant I'm torn on this but I'm still insisting on it am I the jerk
honestly in situations like this I think op has a responsibility to tell her I
don't think anybody deserves to be spied on tracked around without their consent
especially a fully fledged adult I also have a personal issue with the whole
well you shouldn't have been listening to my private talks at all as if that
washes away what they're doing honestly it's kind of hilarious whenever people
say that well you shouldn't have been listening to me in the first place
they're basically saying well if I had it my way you wouldn't even know about
it anyways therefore you should let it go like that makes some perfect sense or
something our next story is from Caterpillar Wings am I the jerk for
putting a debt on my daughter my wife and I are in the fortunate position of
being wealthy we had to work our butts off to get where we are and we never
forget where we came from our kids grew up rich kids but we never spoiled them
even when we could have they went to nice schools had nice things but they
also had summer jobs and after school jobs to pay for their own extras we also
pushed philanthropy in our family so our kids recognize they're privileged and
that our life isn't even remotely how regular people live I'd say for the most
part our kids have grown up to be respectful and good people our oldest
children are twin boys and their sister who's 18 months younger than them all
three are in college now our youngest two are in eighth grade I got a call
from our bank a couple days ago saying that someone had cashed a check that was
charged to our bank account in the amount of sixty one thousand three
hundred forty seven dollars and that the check had been made out to the tuition
Office of the University my oldest three
kids attend naturally I investigated the matter myself with the university and
got some answers I pieced together that one of my kids snagged my checkbook and
wrote a tuition check for a friend of theirs there's a much bigger story
behind why this kid couldn't pay but that's private and my wife and I agreed
to fund this Young Person's education because of their private struggles I
grilled my kids and figured out that it was our daughter Joanna Joanna was
apologetic but she was also quite insistent that she stood behind her
actions I respect my daughter for her convictions and she really did have good
reasons for why she did it but the fact remains that she stole and then she hid
it Joanna asked what her punishment is and I told her to get a job because she
now owes her mother an eye sixty two thousand dollars here's the thing I
don't expect Joanna to pay us back and if she came to me tomorrow with the
money I wouldn't take it what I want to see is an effort made an acknowledgment
of her actions and the consequences if I
see that she's actively trying I'll tell
her that she doesn't have to pay me back she's my kid and I love her so all I
want is for her to learn a lesson but Joanna doesn't know all this all she
thinks is that she owes me 62 thousand dollars so naturally I'm a horrible
father and a very mean person am I the jerk I definitely don't think op could
be the jerk in the situation I think they're very composed considering the
amount of money that's at stake here not very often can you say my kid stole
sixty two thousand dollars for me and all I want is for them to make a Earnest
effort to pay me back that money and you
know what I don't even actually want the money back I mean hey go off Opie our
next story is from rudecover2472 am I the jerk for going
through my daughter's room while she was asleep I 49 year old female have a 17
year old daughter throughout middle and high school she's had some problems with
smoking weed and vaping I've gone through a room and belongings on several
occasions when she hasn't been home to try and make sure she's not doing
anything illegal and most of the time I don't find anything but I can never be
too sure she's over a month into her senior year and has really let her
grades slip she's normally a straight AAP student but she has several bees in
the grade book right now I'm very disappointed in her as this is her
senior year and she should not be screwing around like this last night
while she was asleep I decided to go through her room because I figured if
her grades were this poor she must be misbehaving I looked through her drawers
and closet but I couldn't find anything so I decided to look through her phone
to do this I had to get on her bed and reach over her as she sleeps with it by
her pillow facing the wall while grabbing her phone I saw her wallet and
decided to look through that too I gave up on looking through her phone because
I couldn't figure out her password so I opened her wallet and started looking
through it in her wallet I found an empty Vape pod and saw red I woke her up
at about 5 30 and confronted her about it she told me she didn't even know it
was in her wallet and that she didn't even understand why I was mad because I
know she quit months ago she then asked me why I was even going through her
stuff in the middle of the night especially since she gave me no reason
to and then she said I was a jerk and completely betrayed her trust so am I
the jerk for going through my daughter's room while she was sleeping I've never
been one that's crazy about a A plus 100 so to me I think B is like a perfectly
good enough grade I mean maybe you could
get away with like looking through their room or whatever if they're not around
but I think you're definitely the jerk for looking through their rooms scouring
through their things reaching over them while they're sleeping and trying to
look through their phone and their wallet because they slipped to a b grade
God forbid a 17 year old to really slip up that bad it's just a bit over the top
I think and I think Opie's The Jerk our next stories from throwaway stealing ml
am I the jerk for breaking into my mother-in-law's bedroom throw awake as
some of my in-laws use Reddit we're pregnant with our rainbow baby and we
couldn't be happier on Friday we had our 12-week sonogram and got plenty of
pictures to take home my mother-in-law and father-in-law came to visit so they
could see them and eventually the pictures disappeared I asked them for
help to find them but they were just nowhere to be found my mother-in-law was
pretty eager to leave and that didn't sit well with me after they left I
couldn't stop thinking about it so on Sunday we went to their place for lunch
and when I went to the bathroom I went into their bedroom and found the
pictures in her nightstand I was fuming we were planning to give each side of
the family copies of the pictures and a framed one and we told them but of
course she just wanted them all I confronted her when I came back and she
just said she thought they were for her which is clearly a lie I asked them for
help to find them for crying out loud and was visibly upset it's not the first
time she pulls something like this and while my husband defended me in front of
them when she protested for my snooping he then told me I'd cross the line when
I opened her drawers I know it wasn't the nicest thing to do I regret having
to stoop to her level but I was just so angry so am I the jerk I think Opie's
not the jerk because obviously it's pretty apparent that the Mother-in-law
had stolen them I mean the behavior was just way too suspicious and these are
things that are near and dear to you and you know those get messed up or those
get lost and those are moments in history of your kid that I think would
be just gone I don't think they keep backups at the hospital well actually I
have no idea how that works but maybe they do either way I think op's not the
jerk on next stories from Piper Lavoy am I the jerk for calling my mother a
lunatic and a Jesus freak I'm 16 year old female my mother 40 is very very
Catholic and for as long as I can remember she's forced this on me in
almost every aspect of my life I don't intend to be dramatic but it's ruined a
good chunk of my life and all of my childhood I wasn't allowed to consume
any media that the Bible looked down upon for my entire childhood I was
interested in Grunge music and when I'd been gifted a Nirvana and Soundgarden CD
as a kid she found them and threw them away she has always scolded me for
having interest that didn't line up with her beliefs and it's made me feel
trapped I may sound like a bad person when I say this but I can't tell if I
just resent her or if I really truly hate her a couple years back a friend of
mine introduced me to spirituality witchcraft astrology Etc and it's
something that really resonates with me and makes me happy I knew and I'd know
that it was a risk to buy tarot cards crystals and runestones of my own but I
kept them hidden in the ceiling because it moves up Joe Goldberg from you taught
me that one I feel like I have the right to my own individual beliefs and
spiritual practices regardless of what my mother says or wants well she found
them don't ask me how because I have no idea but it started a huge argument
which ended in her calling me a disrespectful witch a devil worshiper
and destroying all of my spirituality books my tarot cards my crystals
everything I called her a hypocritical lunatic Jesus Freak who thinks she gets
to project her beliefs onto all others and that's probably why my father
divorced her she paused and then began crying calling me an ungrateful child
from hell and told me she's kicking me out come next month I don't know what to
do I know it was a low blow but in the moment I didn't care air and I'm still
debating on whether or not I should care am I the jerk so granted personally I'm
not practicing any religion but I can imagine it's very difficult to be
growing up in a family where there is an expectation for you to be a devout
follower of whatever religion op is 100 entitled to follow and practice whatever
religion they want to or whatever beliefs they want to and that definitely
extends to tarot cards crystals runestones anything like that I think
this is one of those situations you're gonna have a long maybe lifelong battle
with your mom over considering they're so devoutly Catholic but I think Opie is
definitely not the jerk here also does Opie even live in a place where it's
legal for their mom to kick them out they're 16 years old our next story is
from Ripley Crow am I the jerk for making my wife get out of bed at 6 15 in
the morning my wife has a habit of setting an alarm clock to go off at 6 15
a.m every morning she never ever wakes up for it she rolls over hit
snooze and goes back to sleep over and over again until 7 05 am this is
incredibly annoying for me I'm a very light sleeper the second that alarm
clock goes off the first time I'm up for the day my own personal alarm clock is
set for 7 15 am I haven't even heard it go off in many months this morning the
first time her alarm clock went off I tapped her on the shoulder and asked why
am I the only one that has to get up at 6 15. she said because we can't wake up
so I figured I'd help her I got out of bed and turned all the lights on
admittedly I stomped around the room a little and was a bit loud getting
dressed I know this was at least a little petty but am I the jerk I think
op is not the jerk I think it's okay to be the kind of person where you set 10
alarms or you keep hitting snooze over and over if you're by yourself Lord
knows I am exactly that type of person and I said like five different alarms
but if you got a partner or you've got some thin walls and you've got some
siblings and family members or you're in like a dorm room please for the sake of
everybody don't be that person and just learn to get up on the first one more
than anything it's either a a self-discipline issue or B you're
probably not getting enough sleep or you got like sleep apnea or something our
next story is from only shoe am I the jerk for humiliating my father in front
of other family members I female in my early 20s work two jobs one of them is a
corporate job in the industry I specialized in after uni in the morning
the other is a teaching job in the afternoon I work from 9am to 10 p.m most
days but I chose to that is true my goal is to save up and buy a parcel to build
on eventually my dad's been unemployed for around a decade and he's taken up
the role of stay-at-home husband but does very little chores and never Cooks
I don't have any say in this because my mom asked me to stay out of there
marriage arrangements and so I do yesterday my aunt Dad's cousin and her
husband were at my parents house and so was I I live here my aunt was flattering
me and telling me how hard working and responsible I was to which I replied
with similar compliments for her children my dad went into the
conversation and started to underestimate my efforts saying how easy
both my jobs were and how Unworthy of any compliments I was for it I politely
clear that they weren't all that easy and they were meaningful to me and of
course tiresome to me I said of course my jobs were more comfortable than
agriculture or Warehouse working some of the jobs he worked in the past but that
they're equally as important he got a rooter and started saying I only knew
how to whine and then working two jobs as no merit he also added that I didn't
even make a lot of money and I refuted that I make Fair money I got offended
and said he shouldn't be the one to speak given I worked two jobs and he
works zero and my salaries pay for a lot of our household expenses more than is
strictly Fair he said he keeps the house
and I said I do way more chores than him as well as my mom I dropped it and
changed the topic after my aunt started scolding him for not appreciating my
efforts later on he screamed at me and called me a jerk for defending myself
and humiliating him in front of my aunt by saying he doesn't have a job he said
it's normal to talk bad about your own children's accomplishments and I should
have taken it am I the jerk so first of all I think op's not the jerk but did
this father grow up in a bad negatively out looking household as a child How can
any father say it's normal to talk bad about your own children's
accomplishments that's normal that's the thing that should be normalized talking
bad about your kids accomplishments there's some serious ideology conflicts
going on here with I think specifically this father and and the majority of the
rest of the world who actually want to build up their own children our next
story is from happymind2618 am I the jerk for firing an employee returning
from maternity leave I feel like the devil right now so I'll accept whatever
judgment you all have I run a team of about six people our company offers a
large amount of maternity leave 10 months one of my employees got pregnant
recently I'll call her Jess our team does project-based work and in the
period between her leaving for the maternity leave we finished up the
project we were working on when she left
and started working on a project without her during this period our team had to
adapt to working without her expertise in certain matters we adapted and
eventually some of us develop the skills needed to do some of her workload the
situation we have now is me and two others split half the work that Jess
used to do and we hired someone new to come into the team to handle the other
part of Jess's workload and then some this new employee came at a
significantly reduced cost as he was straight out of uni and we paid him a
fraction of what Jess costs currently now Jess has come back to the team but
there's another issue our firm has informed us that for some freaking
reason we no longer have the budget for a seven person team and we'll have to
let someone go this news came about when I submitted the paperwork for Jess's
return we are five months into a project that should take an estimated 10 months
and my decision came down to Jess and the man we hired to replace her the
reason we hired a replacement which is not normally what we do is because we
anticipated that for this project the workload would be far greater than our
current capacity which it is not as you can tell by the title I chose the
replacement I did so for the following reasons far cheaper thus freeing up a
lot more money than keeping Jess on he was up to date with the project and
would be able to move forward seamlessly whereas with Jess we would have to have
taken time to catch her up to speed on half the project the clients already
knew and liked working with them whereas they didn't know Jess at all she's been
out of the field for a prolonged period whilst he's been here for the past nine
months so she may or may not find it hard to adapt back to work life whilst
with him it isn't a question and he performed his work better than she did
hers and interacted better with the team obviously the ideal situation which I
wanted was to keep both and not put a new single mother with no other job
lined up out in the cold but I had to do
right by the team in firm I told her I'd rather a brilliant letter of
recommendation and that in a few months she could try and apply for a job at our
firm hopefully we'll have the budget but she snapped at me and told me not to
bother and called me a runt and left I know I sound cold and heartless but I
had to be fair to both employees not just Jess right am I the jerk I think op
is the jerk and I don't know they might have some kind of legal issue on their
hands I mean she went on break because of maternity leave and I don't think she
got a chance to properly return before getting fired so I mean whether or not
the true reasons you fired them were not related to the maternity leave the
timing is just horrendous and yeah you gave away the spot that belonged to her
to another person who was only ever supposed to be a replacement temporarily
this next story is from the bone Throne am I the jerk had tree cut down without
giving neighbors a heads up as the title says we had a tree next to our privacy
fence that needed to be taken down long ago it had been struck by lightning
three times and was close to dead multiple large branches have come down
in the past few months one on top of our patio furniture The Neighbors on the
other side of the fence had a hammock swing hanging from a large branch of the
tree that was on their side we failed to let them know that we were having the
tree removed honestly didn't even think it about it when we initially got the
estimate and it took a while for the tree service to come back out due to
being busy and now the neighbor is pissed because the tree is gone the tree
service took the hammock swing down for them and nothing was damaged am I the
jerk for not giving them a heads up if I am the jerk is there a way to make this
right with the neighbor as long as the tree was illegally on your property and
belonged to you you owe the neighbor nothing I mean it sucks that they lost
their hammock swing or whatnot but you chose to take it down and for good
reason it was dead you have one really good thunderstorm come through that
thing could probably fall on you or the neighbor's house and our final story of
the day is from bom bom bom bom and by the jerk for leaving my neighbor's
packages in the rain I work from home and my neighbors know this I
automatically bring in any packages I see by our building entrance as there
are a lot of porch pirates in my area sometimes they directly text me and ask
me to bring them in if they're important or expensive items the thing is when I
ask them to do the same for me when I'm not home usually on the weekends not
only do they not I don't even get a text back I've lost several packages of mine
and it's obviously not my neighbor's fault nor is it their responsibility to
bring them in but I got kind of bitter and resentful over time I still bring in
packages when I see them when I leave my
house but I stopped answering texts from my neighbors a few days ago it was
pouring rain and one of my neighbors frantically texts me asking me to bring
in his packages he even called but I ignored him because although he'd asked
me several times to bring in his stuff he never responds to any of my texts
later that day he bangs on my door all upset and tells me that his cat litter
got soaked in the rain I was like wow didn't see you texted too bad and he
called me a jerk I scoffed and closed the door and he kept yelling through the
door I feel the bit guilty though because he's a single dad and I'm sure
he's got a lot going on so am I the jerk I think op is definitely not the jerk
here but I so desperately wished that Opie would have just owned up to it and
told the guy to the face well next time I text you and ask if you could bring
something in maybe you should at least respond to me like lay it out there
let's get it all out there and get the truth known that because this guy
couldn't ever return a slight favor to you where they walk outside grab
something and walk back in you're not doing it anymore for them am I the jerk
for losing it on my husband for lying about an emergency to get me to leave my
brother's wedding early my husband's been sick for a few days he got sick
around the time of my brother's wedding I took care of him 24 hours for days
he's on meds and can move and go to the bathroom and eat on his own I told him I
was going to my brother's wedding and he threw a fit saying I couldn't leave him
alone while he's sick I told him that he wasn't that sick it's just some stomach
ache that he's getting treatment for or and suggested he called his sister to
come stay with him he told me no and told me to miss it I got upset and
bluntly said no and that he could survive for a few hours while I attend
the wedding he sulked and as I was leaving he said he hoped I won't ever
come back it hurt my feelings but I know he was just mad and didn't mean it at
the wedding I got a text from him saying he lost balance and fell off the stairs
and hurt his back he said he was in a lot of pain he threw up and couldn't
move and insisted I get home ASAP I freaked out and started calling his
phone but he didn't answer I thought he must have passed out and I freaked out
even more I got on my car and drove back
to our house immediately when I got home I rushed towards the stairs while
culling out his name but he wasn't there I started to really freak out I rushed
into the bedroom and found him in bed drinking juice and as soon as he saw me
he put the phone down I instantly knew he lied so I lost it on him and started
yelling saying he freaked me out and caused me to I missed my brother's
wedding for nothing absolutely nothing he said that he already told me I
couldn't leave him alone in the house and that this very scenario could have
happened if I stayed there any longer I yelled at him calling him horrible which
made him cry he started crying and throwing his juice all over the place I
had to step out and call his sister thinking she'd come help but she came
and started cussing me out saying I had a lot of nerve expecting her to back me
up after I so carelessly left her brother alone at the house in that state
just to attend a party we got into an argument and I went to stay with my
family my brother understood when I explained the situation to him my
husband and I haven't seen each other since then but his sister kept saying I
had no right to scream at her brother and cause him a panic attack and so that
he was at least clear with me from the start but I chose to be dismissive was
what I did dismissive this guy sounds unbelievably too attached and reliant on
op and on honestly I think this kind of behavior should not be tolerated or put
up with at all would you guys agree with
me when I say that op needs to shut this down ASAP and also that op is clearly
not the jerk here like this is concerningly bad behavior from the
husband let me know what you guys think in the comments down below our next
story is from throw ra say three four five six six am I the jerk for refusing
to let my sister's boyfriend have the password to her safe while she's away I
female 22 I'm currently staying with my eldest sister Natalie female 32 and her
boyfriend Micah male 36 as I finish my semester in college Natalie has a safe
of all her valuable jewelry and other antiques that she keeps in a safe since
some of the stuff she has is from our grandmother she let me have the password
to be able to access the safe anytime I wanted but under the condition that I
tell her first and not give the password to anybody else she went away on a trip
with her girlfriends two days ago and won't be back till Wednesday this this
morning as I was cleaning up Micah showed up and started asking me
questions about the safe I tried to give him one word answers and he sensed that
I was being secretive but really I was just being straightforward he then asked
me to give him the password to the safe I was taken aback I said why and he said
that he'd always been curious about what's in there and wanted to get a
quick peek I said I didn't have it but he told me to quit lying because he
heard Natalie say that I could open the safe anytime I wanted I told him that
still it's not my property and I can't share the password with him he said it's
really not that big a deal but I politely told him no he got upset and
reminded me who he is to Natalie and how
I was just a guest in their house I said that being a guest is completely
irrelevant in this case but he chuckled and said that I was being ridiculous I
suggested he wait for Natalie to come home but he got more upset and said that
she's already refused to let him take a look I Shrugged and said that it wasn't
my problem we got into an argument and I tried calling Natalie but her phone's
been off for hours he yelled at me saying I was disrespecting in his own
home and rushed out I'm home alone now and feel completely shaken because of
how he yelled at me I'm an awkward person with little to no confrontational
abilities and now I think I might have escalated the situation and made him
feel upset and as if I don't trust his word when he said it'd just be a minute
am I the jerk for standing my ground on this should I just let him have it when
he gets back and asks for it I think absolutely not the jerk and should not
give access to that honestly considering
all the circumstances it's concerning to me that Ops even marginally considering
it it's Natalie safe that she has not consented to opening and the boyfriend
even went and said that she told him specifically no he can't open the safe
himself so why would that ever change with op in any situation our next story
is from baby boy name aita am I the jerk for essentially telling my husband that
the apparent meaningful name he was or is insisting on for our unborn son is
utterly unfit I'm 27 year old female my husband 29 year old male Mark and I are
expecting our first child boom we've been planning on naming Zachary for the
short duration of our IUI Journey the name's rather meaningful to Mark as it
was Slash is his deceased grandfather's middle name I on the other hand just
happen to rather enjoy the sound of it I
also happen to favor how common it is as I can acknowledge that my
brother-in-law's son 12 year old male Caleb's classes are filled to the brim
with children named Greenlee and Atticus according to his wife anyhow Mark and I
were recently discussing our future son's name as we felt the need to double
check everything before our sun arrived as I'm seven months along I decided to
write the name on Mark's dry erase board just to clarify our decision
understandably I wrote it down as Zachary as that is slash was the main
spelling that I'm aware of within seconds Mark said no know and claimed
that I had spelled it incorrectly I decided to write it down as z a c k a r
y then assuming that he was referring to that spelling in common fashion to Zach
though he vetoed it in a last attempt I scribbled
z-a-k-a-r-y under the aforementioned board though shockingly Mark informed me
that I'd spelled the name wrong finally I asked him what spelling he was
considering he stood up took the marker and wrote x a i q u i r i on the board
carefully I asked him if he was joking but he said no I told him while this
feeling surrounded our son's name were and are certainly valid that I did not
support his idea of naming our son Zachary unfortunately he refused to
listen despite my commentary and insisted on Zachary eventually he even
said that it was Zachary or nothing I told him that because he seemed against
the Zach and I was against his suggestion we may have to go back to the
drawing board and pick a new name as naming a child is a 2 yes business Mark
told me I was being very unfair and that
Zachary with an X was a perfectly normal name I told him that I was sorry but we
would have to find a new name since neither of us could agree needless to
say Mark was incredibly frustrated and he decided to go to his room I feel
slash felt that I may have been the jerk and said situation because I may have
been too harsh on him as he claimed that
the name was rather meaningful to him it would have certainly been possible to
refuse the name in a Kinder way without having Mark storm off or having felt
hurt so am I the jerk I don't think Ops necessarily the jerk because they just
feel uncomfortable with that name I mean I think it's pretty clear that that
spelling is not gonna be very common and honestly I think it is practical to be
conscious of how that might affect them throughout their life Honestly though I
kind of think the name Zachary's really cool with the X but I totally get rural
piece coming from and they had no clue it was spelled this way and I just hope
that op and their partner can have more civil talks about the name and more
specifically where to go with things but I don't think op's the Jerk by the way
if you're enjoying these stories make sure to hit those like And subscribe
buttons down below so you never miss any of my daily videos our next story is
from raver Graver am I the jerk for instituting a strict no plants or
animals inside the house policy my children really wanted pets and so did
my partner they got a mixed breed puppy from the pound and two kittens as these
animals grew none of the humans in my house did anything to care for them
besides play with them and cuddle I got up at 5 30 a.m to walk the dog before
work I clean the kitty litter boxes out I took them to the vet I had to buy and
serve all their food and cleaned up their eating areas afterward people
would just forget otherwise naturally I also had to clean up after to them when
I'd arrive home and inevitably no one had bothered and there would be messes
all over the floor if I made my partner or kids do it they would half-heartedly
do it to the point where they may as well have not bothered same way with
plants partner wanted house plants and to start an indoor herb and vegetable
garden had fun with it the first week and then totally ignored Dead Leaves
spilled soil bugs Etc now proliferate in the garden area if I don't water and
groom the plants it doesn't get done I'm
busy and these are not my chosen Hobbies
I like animals well enough but they're a lot of work and when they aren't
attended to destroy the house I grew up with a family that hoarded pets and our
house was always nasty and smelly and embarrassing I swore when I had my own
place it would be different the cats pee and spray everywhere if I can't get to
the litter box in time and the dogs chew up stuff and leave big messes on the
floor if I don't walk it I'm the one who will walk him when it gets cold we have
a fence backyard I bought a dog house and announced that you live outside from
now on till they can prove they can take better care of him same with the cats
they're now outdoor kitties till my humans can show me they're ready for
indoor ones of course if the weather's extreme I'll let them in the plants are
all going out I'm done am I the jerk I don't think Opie's the jerk if Opie
makes sure that despite being outside they still get adequate care like you
can't just shove all of these animals outside put some food out there for them
occasionally and just accept that that's how it is I mean you still have to walk
these animals you still want to engage them you still want to play with them
and whatnot and I mean you're gonna want
to clean up the backyard unless you want
nothing but Brown landmines back there I don't think gopi's the jerk especially
if they're doing this as just like a first level threat to see how they react
like maybe that'll actually inspire them to kick start taking care of these
animals properly and if that doesn't then maybe op needs to start considering
re-homing our next story is from throw ra selfish parent am I the jerk for the
way I reacted to my parents open relationship and no longer paying rent I
18 year old male live with my parents I've been paying rent since I was 16
since my parents would be financially screwed if I wasn't helping out my
parents told me they're seeing someone and that the relationship is open I
didn't give a care since it wasn't affecting me until this guy they're
seeing started staying nights he treats this place like it's his tries to tell
me what to do and eats all our my food I
tried talking to my parents about it but they just said it's their house so they
can have who they want here I really tried to put up with it until this guy
tried to discipline my dog I flipped my crap it was most certainly not the way
you discipline a dog and I'm already sick of his crap I yelled the house down
calling him all sorts like dumb runt piece of crap free load and some more
vile crap that's probably way too messed up to say here my parents rushed to see
what's going on and tell me off but instead I told them off calling them
terrible parents that they can shove their house up their butt and I'm not
going to pay rent to live in a house I have no say in that dumb runt can cover
my rent I've since been staying with my boyfriend my parents recently texted me
asking for my rent I told them screw off and reminded them of what I said I feel
like I'm not wrong to not pay rent anymore but I went so overboard with my
words am I the jerk maybe Opie was a little fiery here maybe a little harsh
with their words but the main sentiment here I don't think they're the jerk they
were paying rent and helping out their parents in a situation where they
weren't respected in any way and especially their animals and I care a
lot about animals so to have some jerk who doesn't respect you eats all your
stuff and then mistreats your animals I'm with Opie this next story is from
hot cranberry 612 seven am I the jerk for my husband's aunt's tree being cut
down my husband rented his aunt's home before we got married he signed a
month-to-month lease when he moved in I moved in with him after our marriage
because the rent was super cheap my parents recently came to me asking if
they could park their RV at our home I didn't see a problem with this our yards
are really big in their space because of city ordinance the RV has to be parked
in the backyard there was no RV gate in the fence my husband went to his aunt
and asked if he could install an RV gate his aunt said no my husband relayed the
message to me and my parents seemed upset when I told them two days ago I
came home from work and saw that my dad had a construction crew at our home and
had removed part of the fence for the gate there was an apple tree in the way
they couldn't fit the RV in the yard my husband angry told my dad not to
continue and that they needed to repair the fence at this point I felt like it
was pointless the fence guys already built the columns for the gate it would
cost a lot more money to rebuild the fence I told my dad to finish the job
but make sure it was left super clean that it looked nice I planned on talking
to the end later and explaining what happened what I didn't know was my dad
told the guys to remove the tree my husband's aunt came by and saw the tree
cut down and started to cry she refused to talk to my dad or me when my husband
came home he found a 30-day notice on our door terminating our lease he tried
to call his aunt and she didn't answer the phone he then called my
mother-in-law and she went to talk to our Aunt later I got several messages
calling me a jerk for cutting down the aunt's late husband's tree I had no idea
he planted the tree now my husband and his whole family are really angry at me
I never told them to remove the tree I feel like I'm being thrown under the bus
here am I the jerk here the only reason I think op is really the jerk here is
because I feel like their reaction to their dad going and just going Rogue and
doing this work was very very minimal like I feel like op should have laid
into them and then also with all of that work going on why didn't op even hang
around especially considering it was something their dad was doing I feel
like op should have been obligated to watch everything and make sure it was
done well enough also they didn't listen to op's husband when he said no even if
it would have cost more money they probably should have just gone back to
the way it was that's what the ant was asking for she never consented to any of
it also tree law is not an insignificant thing there can be a legitimate lawsuit
here our next story is from superb prior 1641 am I the jerk because I made my
parents homeless for getting rid of my dog I female 27 lives with my parents
until last week I have a dog that I love she's been my best friend since I
graduated University I'm not very social and I prefer her company to most people
I know I've had boyfriends and even a short relationship that ended amicably
I'm just not really interested in much beyond my work in my dog my parents
think that this is a shortcoming but I do not my brother also lives with us
he's in high school and he doesn't pay rent I pay about 50 of everything in the
house including groceries it's about the same as rent would cost and I get the
basement Suite it isn't a legal Suite in the sense that it could be rented but
it's fine for a family member it's because of building codes and stuff it
would cost a bunch of money to make it suitable for a renter so my mom decided
that the reason I'm not actively looking for a husband is because my dog takes
too much of my attention my pup has some health problems but nothing I can't
afford and nothing that affects her quality of life so my mom gave her away
while I was at work I came home and she was gone along with all of her stuff her
toys her leash everything I lost it on my mom I told her if she didn't tell me
where my dog was I was calling the cops and saying that they had stolen my dog
and having her charged I went to the place where my dog was and got my dog
back I then went back to my parents house and packed all my stuff that was
important to me and went to a friend's house my dad's been calling and texting
me asking about money for October I told him he should have thought about that
when he allowed a crazy person to steal for me since my dad lost his job because
of the current world disease they can't afford all the household bills without
my help my dad says that they'll be out of money in three months without me I
don't trust them anymore my family thinks that I'm the jerk for caring more
about my dog than I do about them to answer some questions I know will come
up yes I am on the Spectrum I may also lean towards Ace even though I have
enjoyed you know what with men before am
I the jerk to me someone's dog is family
that's honestly how much I care about my dogs so for somebody like op's parents
to take their dog and take them to a shelter or something to me it would be
like taking one of your own children and just throwing them away telling you to
get over it and get out into the dating pool Opie is definitely not the jerk and
I agree with OP I couldn't trust living around people like that who go and take
your dog and just give them away behind your back this next story is from aita
locked lock am I the jerk for not opening my room door to my stepsister
when we were alone I'm 16 year old male my stepsister 14 year old female
stepmom's child suffered something traumatic six months ago and she's now
afraid of being alone she's attending therapy and everything we've never been
close and since I don't spend much time at my Dad's because my school's closer
to my mom's not because we don't want to be together then we don't interact much
we would fight sometimes though because she's always been prone to go into my
room and take my things or just spend time there I don't know why even when
she knew she's not allowed for this my dad allowed me to install a lock on my
door and only he and I have the keys for it well ever since that happened to her
she's begun to go into my room at random times usually when both our parents
leave for something and were left alone and do small talk or she sits on my
stuff it's rather uncomfortable for me I'm trying to be sympathetic for her but
as I said we've never been close and to be honest I'm not used to people just
coming to my room and trying to spend time with me as I'm an only child plus
she still enters as she pleases and doesn't knock two or three weeks ago she
begun to enter again sit on my puff and after a few minutes she starts to sob I
asked what's wrong a few times but she doesn't answer and I basically have to
leave my own room until she finishes then she acts like nothing happened I
told my dad about this and he told my stepmom and my stepsister's therapist my
dad promised he'd talk to her too and Wallace didn't have happen as often it
still happened and I was growing tired so I just started to lock it she tried
to open it a few times and then knock I would ask if she needs something and if
she says no or doesn't answer I say I'm busy then a few hours ago our parents
went for food and she came to my room knocking and trying the door I asked
again if she needed something and said no and again I said I was busy and yes I
was then she asked me to please let her in but to be honest I was really tired
and I didn't want to have her there sitting in sobbing so I said no when our
parents came back they saw her sitting outside my room and my stepmom called me
the biggest jerk because I should care more for her and that if she knocks I
have to open the door for her always it made me sad because I'm not being rude
or anything and my dad asked me to go to my room for the rest of the night and
that he'll bring me food over I feel bad
for the girl because she's clearly going
through some stuff and dealing with some stuff but it's not op's responsibility
to be that crutch when the parents go out and I think it's unfair to saddle Op
with that extra responsibility I think Ops not the jerk and it's concerning
that the dad's not sticking up for him our next story is from environmental
goal 943 am I the jerk for going topless at a nude beach in front of friends I
was invited to a three-day vacation with three of my girlfriends and their
husbands plus two of the husbands single guy friends on the last day we were
exploring the city and Came Upon a beach it looked nice and fun so we hung out
there for a while before stumbling on an adult's only nude section of it there
weren't many people overall but I did see a few other women in the distance
without tops on so I felt it was clear to take mine off as well it was great
nobody else joined me though we all continued to talk and joke in a circle
for a while and I thought we were all having a really fun time then one of my
friends said she felt sick so we left abruptly early and our conversation on
the way back was basically uncomfortably
silent with the exception of low talking that I wasn't part of and some of the
guys goofing around later that night at the main room I find myself avoided by
almost everyone until I'm confronted like it's an intervention by the three
girls about how inappropriate it was for me to expose myself in front of their
husbands I was shocked and told them I didn't mean anything by it they said
isn't it obvious that you don't just go naked in front of your friends husbands
and were like notice how you were the only one and you didn't wonder why this
exploded into a further argument with me calling them insecure about their
relationships until it culminated eventually into them all saying they
don't trust me to be part of their friend group anymore all I thought I was
doing was enjoying myself at a beach not exposing myself to their husbands am I
the jerk I think op is the jerk in this situation because this wasn't like a
predetermined thing and from the way Ops describing the situation it's not like
they propose the question like hey should we join in they just kind of went
and did it in front of people that they know and I think whether or not you
stumbled upon a nude beach or not it's just kind of the thing you clear with
people before you go and do that don't get me wrong everybody has the right to
do whatever they want with their clothing but from the way this was
described it wasn't like something that they were intentionally going for they
stumbled across it what do you guys think am I wrong here was Opie not the
jerk this next story is from gifted older brother am I the jerk for causing
a scene on my father's birthday by telling my elderly parents that my
brother isn't special because he was gifted as a child or changed the fact
that he's doing nothing with his life I'm 38 year old male my brother 40 year
old male Alex was a gifted child he believed that he was above others
because he got good grades without studying our parents enabled it and
always told them he was special the school often requested parent meetings
to explain that Alex was being rude to others kids they would come home and say
how the school was jealous of Alex since he was so much smarter than a regular
kids Alex cruised through elementary middle and high school but he crashed
and burned in college because then he couldn't Ace an exam by skimming the
textbook once none of the other students
wanted to work with him or invite him to
study groups because of his bad attitude Alex barely graduated Alex is unable to
keep a job because he cannot work with others and wants everything his own way
he lives with our parents who handle all his adult responsibilities and tell him
the world is wrong because he's special and average people just can't understand
his problems I can't deal with Alex most days and I only visit my parents on
special occasions like last week last week was my father's birthday I my wife
and stepdaughter 13 year old female Christina came to their house for dinner
Christina is a great kid and my wife and I are both extremely proud of her we
just finished dinner and we're talking at the table so Christina went to the
den to practice her lines she was cast as Ophelia and her school's production
of Hamlet Alex asked where Christina went and I explained that she was
practicing for her school play Alex started saying theater was a useless and
it was just for obnoxious people who aren't of a high intellectual standing
like him I told Alex he was out of line and to drop it Alex responded that hey I
know she'll never be as smart as me but she can at least do something useful
with her time I told Alex to shut the heck up and he would know a lot about
being useless because at 40 he's living off our parents like a baby my parents
tried to scold me while insisting Alex is exceptional and other people don't
understand him I told him that Alex isn't special nor exceptional just
because he was a gifted child and he has no right to attack Christina's passion
especially when he's doing nothing with his life my wife and I got Christina
from the den and left I've been getting non-stop calls and texts from the rest
of the family telling me what an immature jerk I was they're saying how
Christina couldn't even hear what Alex was saying from the den but I had to
cause a scene on my father's birthday and give my elderly parents stress by
calling Alex useless and arguing with them they said that they don't approve
of Alex living with my parents but their
lives are their choice and I should have shown sympathy because I know it can be
hard with Alex I won't apologize for defending Christina but my family's
making me worry that I did it the wrong way I think op is definitely not the
jerk and I think what they said is very in line and fair Alex had no room to say
any of those things about Christina Christina's passions or anybody's life
choices really and our final story of the days from okay awareness2828 am I
the jerk for refusing my co-worker's apology and being nasty back I have ADHD
and autism I've been with my job for 12 years in July 2021 the company hired
four new people Tom Jamie Alana Deanna fake names to make the team that I work
on unfortunately none of the new people on my team are very nice to me because
I'm odd the only person who's ever kind of me is the new manager of our team the
new people started holding potluck meals the first time I found out after the
fact while they were eating without me I asked them to let me know the next time
and I would bake something the second time it happened they said it was an
oversight oops by the third time I got the hint I wasn't welcome I was hurt but
I let it go and did my job our new manager asked why I never participate in
the team potluck I told her the truth I'm never invited but she swore Alana
texted me I told her none of them ever contact me except for Essentials by
email only and they make it a point to avoid me when my manager confronted the
group they lied and swore they asked me but weren't able to produce the promised
text my manager and boss decided to no longer permit potluck's on company
property the next day they cornered me in the break room when I went to eat
lunch and began to shout at me for ruining their lunches I ended up having
a meltdown I told them I didn't ask our manager to do anything about it that our
manager said they called it a team lunch
that I was a part of the team to and she was bothered that I was excluded and
took it upon herself to do something about it I said that I knew I was weird
and that that was why they didn't like me I told them that I have ADHD and I'm
autistic and I'm doing the best I can to fit in but I'm not stupid I know I'm
always being left out on purpose and lied to and about and that it hurts to
never feel like I fit in or matter to anyone by the end I was sobbing myself
sick and my mom had to pick me up early because I was panicking so badly I found
out later my co-workers were put on administrative leave without pay and
forced to go to sensitivity training before they could come back to work a
few days later Tom approached me to apologize and said his nephew was
autistic too and he should have realized and done better I asked him if someone
treated your nephew the way you treated me for over a year and only apologized
after getting caught and punished for it what would you tell your nephew to do
would you tell him to accept that apology he quietly admitted he wouldn't
that he would tell his nephew to tell them to go freak themselves I told him
to go tell him that get back to work and leave me alone no one else even tried
after that my manager is now saying I overreacted and should just accept the
apology and give them another chance to keep the peace my job coach says I
should apologize too but I really don't want to am I the jerk I think gopi's not
not the jerk here and I think if you want to keep the peace then yeah you can
accept it but I think considering everything and how Opie was treated and
cornered and accused they don't owe it to anyone to accept any of their
apologies listen I think as long as op isn't going around and treating
everybody else badly like being aggressive with them calling them names
like if they're staying strictly professional then yeah I don't think op
owes them anything else beyond that but with that being said that's all the time
we have for today now if you want to hear another absolutely crazy amyla jerk

would you be the jerk for telling your long-term social worker that you don't
give them any credit for your good outcome we'll get into that in a bit but
first am I the jerk for using my husband's salary to make a point to his
family after he told me I should stand up for myself instead of expecting him
to do it for me my husband and I are doing okay financially we make enough
not to worry about rent and Necessities we're saving a decent amount and have
scope for growth in our careers I make a little more than onethird of our
combined income we're both in our late 30s and we have two six-year-old old
boys I've never liked my husband's family most of them anyways because they
have a lot of old-fashioned opinions and
don't really approve of me we don't have a lot of contact so it's okay though my
husband's cousin's wedding is this week and we're getting married in our city so
he offered for his parents and aunt and uncle to stay with us bride and groom
are renting a place it is a bit of a squeeze but it is working they've been
here for 2 days now and on the first day I heard them have a whole discussion on
how it's so sad that our children won't get to have a proper childhood with a
mom at home like my husband and his cousin got I was stewing but I don't
really like confrontation so I didn't say anything later I asked my husband if
he could please tell them to shut up with the SN comments about me he said
that's just their opinion and it's not really hurting me if I'm bothered I
should learn to stick up for myself and that he can't always do it for me this
sort of struck a nerve because it's true that I usually ask him to do small
things like telling the drive-through person if our order is wrong because it
just makes me feel weird and guilty but somehow it feels like more his
responsibility because it's his family involved here anyway so today my
father-in-law made one more pointed comment during dinner and I said your
son makes so and so we live in a big city and rent is so and so we literally
cannot live on his salary so I don't know why you think I should be home all
day they were pretty quiet after that now my husband's really angry with me
because I put him down in front of his family who are all richer than us and
will look down on him am I the jerk I don't think go is the jerk here because
realistically they gave their husband the platform to kind of dispel this
stuff and really defend himself in whatever way possible op just turned
around and said the truth that understandably hey they don't want to be
judged by their in-laws and this is exact clear evidence of why they can't
do this suggestion they're beating op over the head with enforcer 1971 wrote
definitely not the jerk your husband and in-laws however Common Sense dictates
that if your family is a problem with your spouse you have their back still I
think you handled things perfectly given
the fact that your husband is a textbook jerk and doesn't defend you when he
should he doesn't get to be mad for the way you chose to do what he said you
just took his advice also is he a teenager why is he so pressed about his
family knowing Such trivial things as your rent and general income if he
didn't want you to say those things he should have had your back I guess also
hi I'm Steven and if you guys enjoy getting to decide whether or not all of
these people are jerks why not hit those like And subscribe buttons down below
that said our next story is am I the jerk for telling my stepdaughter she can
have her dead dad pay for the wedding edit she is 27 right now I may have gone
too far my now wife divorced her Rex when her three kids were young he was an
addict she met me a few years later and we dated for 2 years before she
introduced me to her kids two kids really hit it off and Kelly did not like
me just passive aggressive stuff but it became much worse when her dad passed
away she did not take it well and resulted in a lot of outbursts I wasn't
living there at this time she went into therapy but overall didn't seem like it
helped she threatened to run away if I married their mom so I stayed away but
continued to date their mom over time the other two kids started to stay at my
place in order to get away from the drama it was a rough time for them and
we bonded even more when Kelly was 18 the two of us decided to stop putting
our life on hold and get married Kelly hated this the other kids were happy
though every interaction I've had with her has been Pleasant and I don't see
her as one of my kids I eventually adopted her siblings when they were 16
and 17 they asked me during that time she destroyed a lot of her sibling stuff
for betraying their dad now I rarely see her and I prefer it that way the two
kids have an on andof relationship I paid for my two kids wedding I got a
call from her asking me to pay for her wedding since I paid for the other two I
told her no this started an argument about how it's unfair I had enough and
told her to have her dad pay for the wedding she hung up after some lovely
names I may have gone too far which makes me a jerk so do I think the
comment was unnecessary yeah you probably shouldn't have gone that far
but I get where op's coming from and ultimately I don't really think they're
the jerk I mean let's put it this way Opie wasn't really ever looking for any
kind of relationship with this kid to happen before or after this conversation
happened I mean realistically Opie's been on the defensive around this person
anytime they ever been around this person it's not like this conversation
changed anything and if anything just kind of solidified where they both stand
with each other pure relationship 125 replied yeah it was a stupid hurtful and
immature thing to say but I get it I understand this was the oldest girl and
probably closest to her father and of course she probably resented the divorce
but that's something you should grow out of once her father died you'd think it
might have opened up her heart a little but apparently that was not to be and
you know so be it it's her life it's her choice but it takes a lot of balls to
then come skipping back and wanting you to pay for her wedding I don't blame you
for refusing but I am curious as to what your wife thinks a tiny you're the jerk
on the comment a big not the jerk on not paying for the wedding op responded
saying yeah it was petty thinking about it it was resentment building up for how
many times I just took her anger it was like finally standing up to a bully
after so many years of taking it it sure
felt great to give it back no matter how how Petty it was that said our next
story is am I the jerk for not declining or signing over my portion of my
ex-boyfriend's life insurance payout to his mom I recently learned that my
ex-boyfriend passed away of cancer in March his mom called me last week to
inform me of his passing and to inform me that myself and her are listed as
beneficiaries on his life insurance from
his employer she instantly tells me that
she doesn't know why he never changed it
but I can decline or sign the check over to her once I receive it instantly I am
in shock he's gone and he left me on there why I went back and forth
wondering if this was on purpose or accidental it had been years
approximately six since we mutually civil split up I was informed that he
had a new girlfriend that lived with him and she has two kids from a previous
relationship that threw a wrench into things more is there a reason she never
got put on it was this all just a big mistake today it's been one week and
this has been very hard especially since
his mom has been terrorizing me all week trying to get me to agree to give her
this money she has said the most hurtful things and has sent me the most
disrespectful photos and videos of her son in his last moments as of right now
I haven't even gotten in touch with the insurance company I have no idea how
much this is or if I need a lawyer's help at this point well today is the day
I woke up knowing 100% I am keeping the money and I'm not going to feel bad at
all for helping my family with a gift my ex left for me unfortunately part of me
still wonders if it's the right thing to
do by my ex and if these were his wishes in the end a little info to add my home
burnt to the ground 3 years ago July 20th and October first 2 years ago my
mom passed from cancer as well it's been a long hard few years and this money
would literally buy myself a new bra for
the first time in 3 years my little Clan could really use this money and I think
my ex knew that I would say op's not the jerk I mean you're definitely going to
burn some bridges with this family at least the mom for sure I think it would
also especially if the amount is enough to justify it try to get some kind of
legal advice I just wouldn't want to find myself in a situation where I did
cash that check and then all of a sudden there is some kind of like legal
challenge or claim that mom had Carl Zone 87 wrote not the jerk but I would
be getting legal advice before spending a scent of it depending on where in the
world you live these things can be contested in court op responded saying I
don't have any info yet other than I'm a beneficiary but I do plan on taking a
free consultation from a lawyer once I get more info because I have no idea how
all this works thank you for the suggestion our next story is am I the
jerk for abandoning my parents at an island in the Caribbean so I could get
back to our cruise in time I graduated from high school in December as a gift
my parents got me a cruise it was also for my 18th birthday it was also a
family vacation we usually stay at an all-inclusive resort but I've always
wanted to go on a cruise I told my parents it was different and that if we
went on excursions we had to follow the schedule no matter what well it was a
week-long cruise and they would not head
back to the ship when I said it was time to go they were busy shopping and
bargaining with the locals I finally said that I was heading back to the ship
my mom waved me off they missed the departure by a lot like 45 minutes they
got a hold of me through WhatsApp they wanted to know why I didn't get the boat
to wait for them I wanted to scream that they were not going to inconvenience I
3,998 people because two could not understand what a schedule was they
ended up having to fly to the next Port from there and it was expensive they are
ticked at me for leaving them behind I don't know what I was supposed to do
they literally told me that they knew what they were doing I wish I'd never
asked for this they are making me miserable because I left without them
not only is op clearly not the jerk here but I hope that op does not relent here
that op asserts they were right they told them to leave they're not going to
hold up a cruise ship with thousands of other people because you decided to do a
little bit more shopping owl pal 9182 wrote not the jerk they seriously think
the ship will delay for 45 minutes yeah no the docks and ship have a schedule to
keep they are adults and need to be responsible for getting back on time
which is something you figured out in less than 6 months of being an adult at
least you don't have to go on any more vacations with them after this this next
story is am I the jerk for telling my dad's wife she's not included in any
pre-wedding activities because her one-sided contest with my mom is
pathetic my parents got divorced when my siblings and I were in Middle school/
High School we're now in our 20s dad got
married 2 years after the divorce he met his wife and married her in 6 months
because she was planning to move back to her home state and he didn't want to do
the longdistance thing so he didn't really know her when he told us they had
eloped in Vegas she however thought we were all super close and was really
disappointed when our reactions were pretty muted to their news this started
her off being jealous of my mom she was jealous of the closeness we had with Mom
then she was jealous of the fact that we
got along so well with our mom's partner and we're still close even though mom
and him never got married dad's wife started showing up all Glam to school
functions and football games that we were involved in she looked like she was
attending a wedding or a red carpet and she would make snarky comments about
dressing up to support her kids while looking right at my mom she would throw
us these lavish birthday parties and invite both sides of our family and then
attempt to dress Us in matching outfits the birthday kid and her it always made
her Twitchy when we didn't want to dress
like her when my twin siblings turned 16 and my sister and Mom had matching
necklaces my dad's wife actually went home to change and wore the same color
dress as my sister she talks like Mom is somehow less than her because she's not
remarried she gloats that she has a ring on her finger that she shares the same
last name as us the kids just all kinds of petty things she's someone we
tolerate but we don't like her and if we
could exclude her from our lives without losing our dad we would I'm getting
married and so is one of my brothers the twin my dad's wife has not been invited
to any fittings tastings viewing Etc by either my fiance and I or my brother and
his fiance but Mom has been invited to stuff on both sides and my dad's wife
was so upset by it she asked my brother about being invited to something first
and he said no just no nothing else and she pestered him for a while before
moving on to me and she broke down over it and said she can't understand not
being included in pre-wedding activities I told her she's not included because
her one-sided contest with my mom is pathetic and none of us want to deal
with that she said it was such a mean thing to say and all she's ever tried to
do is earn that spot as our mom but we treat our mom's partner who isn't even
our stepdad like he's more important than her she was crying harder while
saying all this am I the jerk so the major problem here is from the get-go
she's trying to force things she's acting super jealous you're just never
going to be the most willing to open your arms and embrace somebody who's so
clearly acting that way let alone the fact that you're already basically
adults by the time they came into your life and in general anybody that tries
to force the I'm the new parent make me the new parent treat me like a new
parent parent shtick is Almost Never Going To Succeed tenis sad wrote not the
jerk she asked why you told her she's a grown woman her behavior is just toxic
and bizarre you obviously will have your brother's support don't explain further
don't argue go stuck record and keep repeating just what you've said already
hope you and your brother have lovely weddings music with rocks in said I wish
step parents would understand that the best thing they can do to help their new
family is take a step back and give the kids space to spend spend time alone
with their parent you don't become a mom by demanding to be a mom you become a
mom by putting the kids' needs and wants before your own our next story is am I
the jerk for telling my former social worker I don't credit her for my good
outcome I'm a former foster kid who ended up with an incredible Foster
family who eventually adopted me when I turned 18 because I wanted to create
those legal ties with them I credit them
with giving me a good life after 7 years of a crap one but I don't credit my
former social worker for for that success at all so background my mom lost
custody of me when I was five and her older kids when they were 11 and 12 they
had a different dad to me I'm not sure what happened but when we were first
taken from our mom we were placed with a
family member who eventually decided she didn't want us and we were then placed
in the same foster home but my half siblings hated me they were always
telling me I shouldn't have been born trying to make me cry they said my dad
was dead and they were glad because he was crappy and that I was crappy too and
I should be dead like him I never knew who my father was and I don't know his
name no name on my original birth certificate this started before we were
taken into care but continued until I was finally separated from them after an
incident when I was six I was placed in seven different foster homes before
finding my family my former social worker fought against me and my half
siblings being separated and even when she lost the ability to keep us together
she insisted on visits between the three three of us I told her how they treated
me I recorded it once with my family's camcorder and she didn't care the visit
stopped once my half siblings aged out of the system it was such a relief to no
longer have them in my life I knew they hated me I was terrified of seeing them
I used to not eat and sleep before those visits and my parents tried to protect
me but they were ordered to maintain the visits even after they ended my former
social worker would tell me I should keep in touch with my half siblings and
she would tell me I'd thank her one day I ran into my former social worker
recently and she approached me and said I was one of her best success cases I
didn't want to hear it and I told her I don't credit her for that good outcome
that she forced me to endure years of bullying and verbal abuse at the hands
of BIOS siblings who she knew hated me and insisted it was in my best interest
when it was the worst thing she could have done I told her that I hope she
learned from it and does better but I'll never give her the credit for how great
my life has become I walked away away from her and then last week I ran into
her again and she told me I had no reason to be so bitter and hateful
toward her and that I'll one day see why she did what she did and understand she
acted in my best interest she told me to grow up and learn how to see Nuance in
these situations I told her that I wouldn't see crap any differently and
she responded that I can't keep her a villain in my story forever am I the
jerk not only is op not the jerk in my eyes I honestly would love if op said
that they really rout even harder after being told you can't keep me a villain
in your story forever trust me me forcing you to keep these people in your
life that never cared about you treated you horrendously and at the slightest of
chances that they get to never see you again took it was all for the best you
just aren't even old enough now to understand how all that abuse was good
for you I would be trying to search for the words that would make it click for
her that would understand how devastated
you were telling her that I guess she'll never realize to truly listen to those
kids who were crying out about terrible situations and intentionally hearing
what they have to say ignoring it and forcing them to keep doing that for
years but hey I guess you know a few more years down the road I'll understand
how all that abuse and the people I never associated with as soon as they
could get away from me ever again was a good thing for me but let's be real here
I don't think that social worker no matter what combinations of words you
put together would ever understand or ever admit defeat and frankly it might
even just be because doing so is basically admitting that they should not
have that job aart ad 6518 wrote not the jerk I used to not eat and sleep before
those visits and my parents tried to protect me but they were ordered to
maintain the visits the social worker shouldn't have insisted on visits when
you became of sufficient age and understanding to say that you didn't
want them and why more so when your parents supported that I was one of her
best success cases that's unprofessional
it's not for her to make that assumption
or repeat it to you ditto the villain in
the story comment I'm glad things turned
out well for you if the childhood things
you went through do intrude as you go on then please consider therapy all the
very best to you Boeing 36780 wrote op be as bitter as you want to be it's your
life you lived it social worker sounds like someone you could usefully go no
contact with and refuse to talk to if you ever run across again our next story
is am I the jerk my stepdaughter's daughter mentioned me in her graduation
speech and not my stepdaughter I'm sorry
this title is absolutely horrid I'll try to make this make sense I'm 62-year-old
female my stepdaughter K has been in my life since she was 8 I met my late
husband when I was 34 and he was 37 Kay is his daughter from his previous
marriage we got married when Kay was 11 she was close to her mother so she never
considered me a mother but we had a good relationship unfortunately my husband
and I weren't able to have children just after Kay finished high school she got
pregnant she had only been dating her boyfriend for a few weeks and he didn't
want to stay with her Kay really wanted to keep the baby though but she was
planning to go out of state for college so we had a long talk about it her
mother didn't want to be involved as she
was very disapproving of the whole thing she was justifiably I suppose angry at
Kay for making stupid choices that could alter her future and Kay sort of pulled
away from her after that so I quit my job to raise her baby H Kay decided to
switch to a college closer to home so she could visit H every weekend she
called almost every day to see her she was trying very hard to balance staying
connected to her child and also setting up a decent future but obviously H was
much closer to me I was with her every day until she was 4 and she only saw her
mom once a weekend on video call I tried telling her that Kay was her mom and I
was Grandma and she didn't call me Mom but she was closer to me after college
Kay did a postgrad degree for three more years then she moved back to our city
she tried really hard to build a close relationship with h but by that time she
was seven and even though they did become close she would always sort of
come to me first for things Kay was sad about this but we didn't really talk
about it eventually Kay got married and H lives with them but she visits me
multiple times a week and we text every day Kay's dad also passed which was
really hard for both both of us so H just graduated from high school and she
was selected to give a speech because she was a standout student she called me
and asked if it was okay if she mentions
me I said that's really sweet of her and
of course Kay and her husband and I went to it together in the speech H talked
about how her best childhood memories are the stories I told her and it was
really sweet She only mentioned K in the bit at the end where you think everyone
who helped you get there and whatnot Kay
didn't say anything during the party but afterwards she told me she felt like I
always encouraged H to stay closer to me than her like I was competing with her
she said that I wanted to be a parent so badly that I took it from her I just
want some unbiased opinions I think Opie is definitely not the jerk here and now
I don't mean to compare a grandkid to a puppy but let's put it simply during
some of the most formative years of their life you were always there taking
care of them and being a good motherly figure to them just like it would be if
you were around somebody's puppy more than the actual owner was they're
probably going to be imprinted upon you a lot more than the actual parent all
that I see here is a sign that Opie was being a great parental figure to that
kid all throughout that kid's life it obviously was never a competition and if
anything Kay should just be grateful especially before she goes and allows
this to somehow potentially ruin the relationship she has with her kid hob
storm wrote not the jerk your stepdaughter just can't understand that
you can't have your cake and eat it that was her decision to let someone else
raise her child while she was studying you did enormous effort to help her by
quitting your job and taking care of her kid while I might understand that you
might have done it simply because you couldn't have your own kid it doesn't
change anything you sacrificed a portion of your life for both of them and both
of them should be grateful to you and while your grandchild understands it
your stepdaughter doesn't you didn't take anything from her she did it by
herself our next story is am I the jerk for reminding my friend that she married
for intelligence and look where it got her I 35-year-old female met my husband
Vince 36-year-old male after he saved me
from drowning at a pool party when I was 18 I took him out for lunch the
following week to thank him for saving me and we soon fell in love and began
dating at the time Vince worked a bluecar job while I was studying in
University we ended up getting married and Vince supported me throughout my
entire education up until I got my PhD Vince always told me that he wanted to
study in University but had learning disabilities that made it difficult for
him to study in a classroom at times he was embarrassed by the fact that he had
to work twice as hard compared to people
around him but I always found that to be admirable about him when I finished my
studies and got a well-paying job I convinced Vince to give his dream of
studying another go last year he was finally accepted into a nursing program
at our local University he is working hard to achieve his dream and I'm
incredibly proud of him last week my friend Alba 36-year-old female came to
visit with her son so our children could play together Alba was my roommate
during my first year in University she began dating her husband Leo around the
same time I started dating Vince Leo was an obnoxious law student who later on
became an even more obnoxious attorney he was a knowitall who prided himself on
his intelligence which for some reason attracted Elba at the time Alba would
sometimes tease me that I could do better than Vince and would offer to set
me up with one of Leo's law school buddies but I would always refuse and
she eventually dropped the subject Alba and Leo are currently going through a
nasty divorce that stems from him cheating on her quite frankly he is
dragging her through the mud and is using connections to try and leave her
as pennyless as possible as we were chatting and catching up Elba began to
express concern over the fact that my eldest son 7-year-old male was recently
diagnosed with dyslexia Alba began telling me how she's worried that my son
will be acad Ally challenged like his father and what that could entail for
his future before I could respond she told me how I should have married
someone smart while I had the chance so I would have had kids like hers Alba's
son is an incredibly bright boy and a straight A student I told Alba her
advice was unnecessary and reminded her where marrying for intelligence got her
I then proceeded to tell her that I would rather have my son grow up to be
an honest hardworking person like his father than an academically gifted jerk
who wasn't smart enough to know sleeping with his sex secretary could have
consequences on his marriage like her husband Elba was deeply hurt by what
I've said and stormed out with her son some mutual friends are now chiming in
and are telling me that I was too harsh on Alba for using her failing marriage
to prove my point and should apologize small update first of all I want to
thank you for all your replies I wanted to address a couple of things many of
you asked why Alba and I remained friends despite her previous remarks
Alba and I grew apart during our third year in University we only remained
friends by Association since we have a lot of shared mutual friends we became
close again after our son started playing basketball together at the local
community center and became friends I figured that becoming a mother made her
more mature and she didn't give me any reason to suspect otherwise I've decided
to send her a message saying that the way she spoke about my husband and son
was unacceptable and therefore she's no longer welcomed in my home however I
don't want our sons to lose their friendship and therefore I'm willing to
remain civil around the kids and still organized playdates she didn't reply to
me just yet but I truly hope she loves her son enough to put her ego aside and
remain civil for the sake of our kids I'm yet to notify Vince about this
entire situation since he is vigorously studying for an important quiz that's
coming up next week and I know if he heard what Alba said about him and our
boy it would make him upset and he wouldn't be able to continue studying
properly unless something crazy happens in the meantime I'll probably update him
next week after done with the quiz Opie's a million per not the jerk it was
an incredibly rude thing of her to say and clearly she feels that op's family
is of a lower class than hers she also clearly doesn't even understand how
dyslexia even works somebody who has dyslexia is not just going to
automatically be worse academically than most people it just means reading is a
little bit more difficult you can still be the next Einstein and have dyslexia
Corgi Huntress wrote okay can I just say that intelligence doesn't have any
anything to do with dyslexia that incredibly intelligent people can have
it and they can also have other learning
disorders or be kinetic Learners because for her to say that your husband isn't
intelligent is just a level of jerky that's completely unacceptable having an
education versus no education is also not a measure of intelligence trust me I
have a PhD too I also know a lot of brilliant people without College
diplomas now that my rant is over not the jerk and while certainly you should
be concerned if your child has a learning disability and you should
pursue support for him that doesn't make
him stupid or otherwise lacking AOG kiwi wrote just to pile on a little high
intelligence does not guarantee success I know plenty of highly intelligent
people who are not successful for a variety of reasons having two jerks for
parents might be a reason some smart kids don't end up being successful just
saying but with that being said that's all the time we have for today now if
you want to hear another absolutely crazy am I the jerk here story check out

aita for giving my wife three options so let me start out by giving you all a
little history of my wife 39 and I 38 we were high school sweethearts but
ultimately I broke it off with her because our lives said that were going
in opposite directions I was laser focused on Sports and higher education
and she wanted to party with friends fast forward about 20 years and I am
back in our hometown visiting my family and I run into her working at the local
Walmart we exchange pleasantries and make a plan to meet for a dinner to
catch up well everything goes well and we talk well into the night and it feels
like we've been friends forever even though we haven't talked for about 15
years so we decide to start dating but we live 1,200 miles apart so I would fly
her down to my place about every other month for a week or so for a year and a
half then we start talking about her moving here well here's where things
start to get complicated she has a young son yes the father does spend a little
time here and there with his son but very little when his son goes over there
his father mostly just plays video games and his son watches the father works
very part-time under the table and pays for nothing for his son and pays no
child support So eventually my girlfriend at that time moves in with me
and the father of their son agrees to let her bring their son we have never
kept his son from him I have also flown the Father Here multiple times so he can
spend time with his son we sent | give me a good story on AITAHforgivingmywifethreeoptionsorig |

AIT for telling my best friend she's stupid for wanting to get pregnant right
now I 27f and my best friend 27f have been friends for over 6 years now
throughout this time she's always been with the same guy and they actually just
recently got married for backstory her husband spent over eight months
unemployed in 2023 and actually just got a new job within the past month this
caused them to have to move in with her father four months ago because they
couldn't afford their bills on her income and his unemployment they also
wanted to take it as a chance to build their Savings in the hope of buying a
home after a year my friend and her father have always been extremely close
and he is probably the most important person to her recently she's mentioned
having a child and the biggest reason she mentions is it's so important to my
dad to be a grandpa he's getting old I want them to have as much time as
possible Etc while I don't believe this is a good reason to decide to have a
child it's just the tip of the iceberg considering their horrible financial
situation and overall relationship issues which I won't go too much into | give me a good story on AITAHfortellingmybestfriendshesstupidforwantingtogetpregnantrightaitaredditstoriesorig |

hey everybody my name is steven and welcome back to the story time channel
without wasting any time let's get into our stories of the day
my mom wanted to force me to let her into my psychiatrist appointment because
she was worried what i'd say about her background i'm a 21 year old on a high
amount of meds for epilepsy and i dropped out of college to
deal with my medical issues since i used to have a seizure once a week
i'm currently going to a community college to transfer to a better
university in a different major so i will graduate two years later than
all classmates so i was talking to my psychiatrist on
video chat since i couldn't go to the hospital
since this is a first appointment he is asking some basic questions like do you
hear voices or have you had thoughts of self-harm type things i answer honestly
i mention my mother and family issues like how my mother and father have been
fighting since i was born and blame me for their deteriorating
relationship oh and my mom tends to insult
me a lot calling me a failure in the r word because i'm going to a community
college right now i also have anger issues and after she
screams and calls me swear words and phrases over 40 times in a minute
i counted i wasn't lying for more than a minute while i helped her for two hours
then slapped me twice hard for stepping on something
i forgot what so enraged i pinched her forehead
tried to lightly slap her cheek and stormed off
me panicking wait please don't tell the police or anyone what i've done
psychiatrist says it seems like we need to talk again
don't worry though we want to help you we won't tell anyone what you or your
mother has done i mentioned it to my mom one thing over
a two-hour session and it was a huge mistake my mom didn't care about my
suicide attempts my depression or how i felt
how could you tell them something like that you narcissist what's wrong with you
but i sent you what i said exactly you're a liar
nothing you say is true you're the last person i would trust
mom i'm sorry but i don't lie i told them what i did and what you did
no matter what and they said don't you dare call me mom you dumb
reward you're lucky to be living with me at 22.
i'm 21. all your classmates and friends are graduating two years before you
i'm sorry i won't mention you again mom rants and raise
you never stop talking or starting arguments you could have gotten me arrested
well i'll get you a residue pos i wish i had an abortion
me saying nothing now make sure i'm in your next appointment or i won't let you
see your psychiatrist but shut up and only talk to them about
your anger issues you useless r word failure
god how can you still be talking about your family at 22
i mean it's not like i your brother is 30 and doesn't complain or argue with me
me silent even though i know that's not true if my mom insults him when he
visits he will leave the house and go to his apartment
immediately then depending on how she acted
come back later also my mom is comparing me to my brother who is around 9 years
older with no medical issues but he lived at home until he was 26 and
got his first cs job mom insults me for another hour then is quiet
edit my mom and i get along so well for like two days
and three days there's nothing really but two days it's like this
second edit thank you for the advice and kindness everyone but most of all i
never realized how supportive and caring an online community could be until this
post i really appreciate it edit for clarification next year i'm
transferring to an out of state university
so she won't have to contact me unless she wants to
which will probably be rarely but yeah as long as i deal with her a little
longer next year i'll transfer out of state for the rest of my undergrad
i'm just hoping op can hold out if you were op in this situation
this very incredibly tough situation what would you do
let me know what you think the best idea for op would be in the comment section
down below entitled mother almost stops an ambulance from getting to a
heart attack patient this happened at the end of last summer
and i wasn't with an earshot for most of it so i can't give
great detail as to what exactly was said but i'll try my best
background i work at a summer day camp and everyone is like family there
i went to the camp myself from age 6 to 15
before working there the staff usually are rehired when possible
especially directors so returning campers see the same faces every year so
some of the younger staff have known the veteran staff for
almost our entire lives that's why it is very common for the camp counselors to
have been campers once themselves like me this is important to remember as those
involved in the story include both two veteran staff and multiple former campers
now counselors including me okay now to the story it is the very last day
of camp for the summer all of the campers have said their
goodbyes and have left on their respective buses
the only people left are the staff and the kids who are in the after care
program for kids whose parents either work
late or they need to be picked up from the camp directly
there is almost no parking not enough for staff so
they bust the kids in every day the staff wrap up their last staff meeting
for the season and we all make our way to the front of
the camp one of the counselors who i think was two years older than me
carter ran up ahead because the lunch lady
chris was about to leave and wanted to say goodbye
as we were rounding the corner we hear carter call out for chris
and she is laying on the ground everyone is ushered into the bus that was going
to take us to where the staff parking was while one of the directors calls the
ambulance carter is in tears he was especially close to chris not to
mention that this is the second veteran staff member to be hospitalized that
summer he tells us that he had just said goodbye and turned to walk away
when he glanced back she was on the ground and not responding
chris was a bit of a bigger woman so everyone was worried about if the cpr
would be successful since the only people there were very
small build thankfully another vet staff
arrived and he was able to take over cpr which we later discovered if it wasn't
for him she would have died so the ambulance is
on the way but the problem was that the road the camp is on is a major road in
our city and it was right during afternoon traffic rush
not to mention the street was having construction done which turned it into a
two-lane street then a small car pulls up and it
is a mom looking to pick up her kid one of the staff is quick to tell her to
pull off to the side the driveway is very narrow and can
barely fit one bus at a time she is understanding and gets out of the
way she even gets out and tries to talk to the staff who are waiting on the bus
i believe she even tried calming some of us down one of the directors drove a
golf cart to go and get her kid so she waited there with us enter
entitled parent i am not 100 sure if she was a karen or
just someone who was a bit dense but she still nearly caused a woman to lose her
life this big black suv pulls up and already she sees that something is off
being the intelligent person she is she stops her vehicle in the middle of the
driveway and asks what's going on again she is being directed to park
off to the side but she doesn't want to move the lady
just sits there and tells the staff worker that she is there to pick up her kid
note chris collapsed right in front of the entrance to the camp
so this woman has a front row view of people performing cpr on this woman
she doesn't have your typical karen voice but still
she isn't moving and keeps asking what's going on
it had been a few minutes now and you could faintly hear sirens in the distance
the ambulance was near and this woman was still blocking the
only way into the camp at this point i storm out of the bus and run over to her
by this time carter has noticed the suv and has made his way from staying next
to chris to getting up in this woman's face and just goes to town on her
i can't remember what he says and it didn't help that he was screaming
through his tears but the lady eventually got the hint and went off to the side
i was ushered back into the bus this time carter following behind me
once we are inside the bus he just breaks down i am still in shock when i
hear something from next to the bus remember that other mother from before
well now karen was drilling her about what was happening
the first mother not knowing fully tried to calmly explain the situation
as best as she could then the kieran turns to the bus full of crying
20 or so year olds she is right outside my window
but as i am a lower rank she addresses one of the
other staff i am here to pick up my son i'm sorry miss but we are kind of
dealing with something if you could wait
why am i parked over here this isn't the pickup why won't you let me go pick up
my son note chris had collapsed in the road that runs through camp
there was no way to get any vehicle other than a golf cart into the main camp
because they were trying to save a woman's life the director of the camp
comes over and explains this to her but karen isn't having it
i want my son he is scared let me go get my son
ma'am we can send for your son but are you sure you want him to be here to see
this by now the ambulance has arrived they actually got into the camp easily
considering the construction we are ever grateful as it turns out
they had arrived just in time i don't care i want my son now a few minutes later
a golf cart pulls up with both mom's kids in it
the first mom ushers her kid into the car and gives him something to keep him
entertained as to hopefully distract him from what
is happening then the karen gets in her car and tells her kid to do the same
karen starts her car and tries to leave by now there are three police a fire
truck and an ambulance in single file along the
driveway there is no way karen is getting out
i see karen sai and gets out of her car she goes back to the director and tells
him that she needs to leave he looks at her looks at the driveway
clearly not knowing how to respond he tells her that they can't just move
the ambulance and the other first responders vehicles
just so she can leave she huffs and crosses her arms
their exchange continues for another few minutes until the police officer has to
come over and tell the woman to get in her car
and stay there she had been trying to follow the director as he tried to leave
the conversation as to give a statement as to what happened the mom
reluctantly went into her car and spent the next 10
minutes getting death glares from a bus full of at least 50 something pissed off
staff well at least she didn't get physical but she ticked off just about every
other box leading up to that this lady was clueless entitled father
yells at me and tries to destroy my phone because he got wet on a water ride
background information i was at this theme park in the uk it's
quite big called alton towers in staffordshire and in the park they
have a ride called the battle galleons around the ride they have water cannons
that you can use to wet the riders they also have them on the ride cast me is me
ef is entitled father es is entitled son ps is park staff em is entitled mother
e.d is entitled daughter the story so entitled father was on the ride so
naturally i went on to one of the water cannons to whet the people on the ride
i then made a mistake a wedding titled father an entitled son
they are visibly upset however i think nothing of it
they then exit the ride and i see them running up to where i am
what gives you the right to let me and my child it's a water ride that's the
point did i give you permission to do that i
don't need permission it's a water ride me and my child are now soaking wet all
thanks to you i will make sure to have you removed
from the park and banned for life entitled son says daddy i'm cold don't
worry daddy's here entitled father then attempts to grab my
phone out of my hand to throw it into the water rides area
at this time park's staff is walking by so i call them over
this man is yelling at me because i wet him and his child on a water ride he
also just attempted to grab my phone out of my hand and throw it into the water
entitled mother an entitled daughter then come off the ride and spot the
ruckus going off down at where i am entitled mother
begins shouting and screaming at me and park staff
what the freak is going on over here please don't use that language around
children ma'am this boy want be an entitled son why the
freak would you do that they're just trying to enjoy their day out
it's a water ride entitled daughter then tries to snatch my phone
just like entitled father park staff says i think we've seen enough here
enjoy your day park staff then escorts entitled father son
daughter and mother to the park exit and i get on with my day like nothing
happened with my phone safely with me if you're at a water park
and you don't want to get wet don't go on the water rides
don't go on a ride that has specific cannons set up to wet people on the ride
also i hate how petty they are just trying to go straight for the phone
trying to get some kind of payback oh you got me wet on the ride i want to try
to damage something worth hundreds of dollars that you own
how dare you pay my son more than you make per hour to do yard work for
literally five minutes after he asked you if you had any work he could do
so today i got home after biking and rock hunting on the river
it had been a great day as soon as i parked in my driveway there was someone
at my car door it was a local neighborhood boy we will call them t
he was with his friend who introduced himself as lil jay
they asked if i had any yard work they could do i had paid tea to do a few
things before 12 dollars an hour yard work he is like 10 years old
he seems like a good kid as it turns out we just put our house on the market
yesterday we got a full asking price offer the same day yay
so i had just done a ton of work our yard was immaculate i told the boys this
then i told them i had one tiny job they could do but i only had 250 total in
cash and it was a quick job i told them i needed them to spread one
extra single bale of pine straw over a flower bed i had made the previous day
it was a 15 minute job max well jay immediately piped up and said man don't
you think you could give us five dollars a piece
i said no you get a dollar 25 and that's plenty for such a small job if you guys
don't want the job i'll just do it myself real quick that's
literally all the money i have and the only possible job you could do for me
they grumbled a little but quickly accepted the job
it took them literally five minutes i went out
checked the work paid them and shook hands and they were off
i felt good about it i didn't really have anything at all i needed them to do
i just had a tiny bit of cash and a tiny job they could have done
so i figured what the heck i like employing neighborhood kids
it promotes a good work ethic five minutes later enter entitled parent
t's mom knocks on the door angrily as soon as i open the door she aggressively
says did you just pay my son to do yard work for you
i said yes well don't you think my son is worth more than 1.25
i retorted well ma'am i don't think your son has a monetary value
but the five-minute job he did was certainly only worth a dollar twenty-five
i myself only make a barely livable wage of 12.50 an
hour a dollar twenty-five for five minutes of work is equal to fifteen
dollars an hour i'm not sure what you want me to say i
beat him more per hour than i make and he was done in five
minutes that's all the work and all the cash i had
then she screamed well my son is worth more than a dollar
next time just tell him you don't have anywhere for him to do it all
and stormed off cursing me up and down making a scene all the way down my
driveway across the street and into her house i just watched her fume back
trying to hold back from bursting out laughing closed the door and went on
with my knight it was a peculiar experience thank
goodness we are moving in a month i thought y'all might appreciate the
story i get that she felt like they deserved more money but
it was a five minute job that's all they had i think op should
have gone ahead and just let that laugh out anyways but with that being said
that's all the stories we have for today

welcome friends to another r slash malicious compliance video today we've
got a great story of getting the big boss fired but first a story from al
horst i need to do some work fine i will so i'm a security guard in a store one
of the big things about my position is that i don't work for the store itself i
work for the security division in the company that means that i have my own
manager who's separate to and outranks any store manager retail is an unpaid
industry this goes for the store managers as well this also means that a
large portion of the people who accept becoming a manager do so because they're
okay with a pay cut as long as they get to boss people around this also means
that store managers become angry and confused when they find out they can't
order me around as they're literally not my boss after a month or two we usually
come to an unspoken agreement life is a lot easier if we all get along this
brings me to now we got a new store and deputy manager a couple months back and
they were the same way first they wanted me to work on the teals so they could
save money on staff which i told them is
not happening and then they wanted me to
help them out on the shop floor now i do help out usually with lifting heavy
items or helping out customers but that's part of the whole make each
other's life easier part not because i have to both the managers didn't really
seem to understand this they wanted me to move an entire aisle of furniture
which they could have done themselves but couldn't be bothered i helped with a
few but my back was hurting at the time so i said i couldn't do more the deputy
manager then told me that if maybe i do some work my back would stop hurting i
then later found out that the store manager also reported me to my manager
for not moving the isle of furniture my manager said what i said not my job do
it yourself this really pissed me off but i took it to heart you see both
managers didn't know that i knew they were stealing as far as i was concerned
the company was screwing all of us so as long as they were only taking a small
amount like an energy drink or a bit of food i didn't care but since they wanted
me to do some work i did i spend the next couple of days going through the
last month of cctv burning off any discs of footage of them stealing and
meticulously making records of who when what and where their face when my
manager and their boss the area manager came in and said they need a private
meeting with them over some security concerns absolutely beautiful i don't
know what was said in the meeting or decided on it's only a couple of days
ago and when it's on a store manager level it needs to go through multiple
reviews and meetings but they are both suddenly a lot nicer to me considering
everything op documented here do you think it's safe to say that these
managers are on a fast pass to getting fired if somebody documents numerous
times of these managers basically shoplifting from their own place do you
think they're doomed they're gonna get fired let me know in the comments and by
the way if you're enjoying these stories make sure to hit those like and
subscribe buttons down below every single video has awesome stories like
our final story of the day from warrior four four but as his boss threatens to
fire me i accept and get himself and his friends fired this whole story happened
in 2021 and ended in october darn time flies and it is something that puts a
cheshire smile on my face in january 2021 i began working for a
very big american company in europe that was and is in the energy sector at the
factory plant i began working at the parts of gas turbines get assessed for
restoration and reworked so they can get used again each single part would cost
several thousand when produced new and hold for like a decade or so reworking
cost like one-fourth of that and the part would be good for another eight to
ten years with more inspections of course for safety the customers would
pay like half or three-fourths the cost of a new part and since we're talking
two to eight thousand per single part and a gas turbine containing thousands
of pieces we're speaking several million
for each gas turbine customer would save a good chunk and of course the company
was sitting on a golden goose over the decades that meant that the facility
where the stuff was reworked had an absolute uncontested income without much
competition since their parts were their own design and production and a win-win
for the customer and company over time that led to the problem that competence
invention or even honesty were not needed by the management of the facility
anymore as long as the workers stick to the already developed and tested
processes and did their job money would keep flowing in regardless what the
office did or did not you can see where this is going so i was hired there as
part of quality control specifically i was to operate a 3d computer managed
measuring machine gas turbines get as you can imagine pretty hot and spin fast
and a decade of heat combined with dynamic stress has the nasty habit to
deform stuff can't have that for sure so you have to measure the stuff really
precisely so that the production knows what section of which piece needs
reworking or if a piece is too out of form to be used again at all the
operation of such a machine is not too complicated put the piece into bracket
clamp it down load the correct model and start the program you then get the
measurement report then as a text file an xl as well as a pdf the pieces
usually rotary blades nearly always came in sets 24 to 216 depending on the size
when all are measured you compile all the reports the machine made into one
excel with a somewhat complicated method
wasn't hard i learned that all in a week
that machine was immensely important for the facility running in two to three
shifts per day like 80 percent of all the pieces that went through the
reworking process had to be measured at least twice as nearly anyone with a
technical background can guess operating a machine and understanding what it's
actually doing are two big different shoes when i started there there were
only three guys that understood the machine properly as well as a technician
vladimir who could actually fix codes or reprogram a 3d model if there was a
problem vladimir however was the technician for the entire facility
very busy guy and when he had to come over his time would need to be paid by
the department something the bosses didn't encourage so to say of the three
guys who knew the machine antonio is important he'd been working there for a
few centuries at least he knew every nook and cranny and while being a simple
worker if crap went wrong he was the guy he turned to he had a bit of a short
temper and a very blunt language but he was honest open and very fair i myself
am not the most social person always held back with a brutal honesty and i
take my professional cold attitude a bit
too serious i guess in general if people share my principles of honesty fairness
and taking responsibilities serious then we get along greatly but with people
that are less trustworthy i basically turn to an ice
block not perfect i know but hey i don't work in retail for good reason so thing
is despite some heated arguments antonio and me really got along swimmingly what
no one knew was that antonio had over the decades collected such a backlog of
days off overtime and whatnot that he could retire two years early and he was
63. he had decided to groom me as his successor and began teaching me every
little detail about the measuring machine how to fix stuff how to do
proper maintenance why it did certain stuff and so on he was a perfectionist
but so am i so i really appreciated it what i noticed in my first week in the
company was the biggest problem there the facility had a massive problem with
clicks clans and little circles if you were part of the correct click you can
do what you want to remain untouchable if you aren't well your credit goes to
anyone but you and you are a fine scapegoat i didn't care much about it to
be honest i'm a bit of a rule fanatic and stick to them even when everyone
else ignores them for me this was a well-paying job with a horrible commute
one and three-fourths hours in one direction so i wanted to stay there for
as long as i could earn my money and then just take the next job there was a
fourth guy who was operating the machine i don't remember his name so let's call
him igor igor was part of the same click as my boss manuel and my boss's boss
freddie and of course his own boss boris who was also his brother he was working
the measuring machine simply because it was the most comfortable job he could
perform he was usually doing the night shift as those paid extra he
occasionally took the late shift while i always took the early one was the least
popular due to the start at 6 00 am but i liked going home at 3 pm igor was well
as a light bulb he was like a wet match in a dark basement somewhere in a black
hole i might be a bit too harsh on him now but that was all i ever got to see
from him he was also pretty lazy rude and arrogant after all he had an
untouchable status due to his brother's best friend being boss of the entire
assessment department a good six months after i started there there was the
first incident with the measuring machine we received the material and
pallets and it was the firm rule that their rotary blades had to be sorted in
numerical order each had a serial number
and a set number stuff went a ton faster and easier if all was sorted clean 1-82
or whatever the set went up to occasionally an order which were usually
2-4 pallets would arrive unsorted at the measuring machine
then we had to sort them since we had to
lift the blades out one by one anyway to measure them it wasn't that big of a
deal just a tad annoying igor never finished a set if he could help it
leaving just one or two blades left for measuring and even when he had to finish
a set and start a new one he would never compile the reports into one xl i'm
pretty sure he didn't even know how that worked one morning i came to work and
like so often there was just three blades left to measure i shrugged
without care and wanted to just finish the order and start the next problem was
the pallets were a complete mess completely unsorted despite them being
measured igor had worked the late shift the day before and would also work the
late shift that day so i would actually get to see him for a few minutes when i
handed my shift over this of course meant that i would have to sort all of
the pallets while also operating the machine with the next order as to avoid
a delay the machine was a bit of a bottleneck in the facility usually this
is a chill post the blades are never heavier than 48 pounds ish and you had
like 6 to 14 minutes between the measurement cycles to lift them out and
exchange them with the last measured blade sorting the last order took me two
hours of quite sweaty work while also operating the machine nearby so i was
somewhat annoyed when igor came in in the afternoon i asked him in a polite
manner why he hadn't sorted that one order he replied in a rude tone that he
wouldn't do that i was a bit baffled and asked if he didn't know
that it was mandatory to do that he simply replied in a pretty rude tone
again that he wouldn't speak about that outright refusing to speak about a
problem what the heck i told him that if
he didn't want to speak about it i would have to speak about it with my boss he
just smiled in a smug fashion and told me to do that well i did just that i
asked my boss about it in the fashion of hey i thought we were supposed to sort
that stuff or did we change that this led to a four-way talk with my boss igor
as well as boris boris was not happy at all and my boss was rather embarrassed
because it was all clear that i was correct but neither of them wanted to
admit that their friend had done anything wrong i did my usual ice block
impression showing a blank face replying in very accurate and short words and
staying all polite and professional it came out rather inconclusive with a kind
request that we should sort the palettes if they all came in as a mess
igor just shrugged and it was clear that he didn't care it happened three more
times that stuff came in unsorted but igor managed to avoid doing it ever okay
strike one out of three six weeks later there was the second incident every
morning before i started i would maintain the machine like antonio had
showed me to do cleaning everything and rubbing special liquid into the stone
tread the machine's arch ran on back and forth one morning i came in and turned
the machine into manual mode like every morning so that i could run the arch to
the end of the tread for maintenance a second thereafter i heard a grinding
noise and instantly stopped the machine the arch was an air-cushion-based runner
kind of like a hovercraft as where the bottom of the arch would always remain a
tiny bit above the surface to ensure minimum vibration so a grinding sound is
really really bad i quickly inspected the thread and found
quite the deep crater in the stone surface maybe two to three centimeters
deep an inch and wide as well that was enough for the air cushion to lose
pressure so the arch was sliding over the stone surface of the tread this
inspection also revealed scratches along
nearly the entire length of the tread so
it was pretty clear that the machine had
been running with this crater for a good bit i immediately shut down the machine
informed vladimir as well as my boss that some big crap was going on here i
also took pictures of the damage with timestamps just out of my usual paranoia
the machine was put out of commission as the arch had taken damage the entire
stone tread had to be reworked and the machine needed recalibration it was out
for over a month due to that crater that crater by the way looked exactly like
the bottom corner of one of the blade as if one had been dropped under the stone
tread and the previous shift before me had drum rolls igor
of course he denied that he'd done anything wrong and he also couldn't
recall seeing any scratches or hearing any grinding noise during his shift he
tried to blame it on me but i'd reported the stuff like five minutes into my
shift with the last blade igor had measured still in the machine again it
was clear to all who had messed up but again not even a harsh word to him while
the machine was getting fixed and reworked we were put to different work i
got into the pre-assessment team where the pieces get their first evaluation i
made good friends there which would serve as my ears later on strike two out
of three after the machine got fixed a good month later we'd collected a
massive backlog to the point that the other departments who did the repair
were struggling to find something to do that didn't need measurements the
machine was supposed to work in three shifts but antonio had left for his
two-year vacation when the machine had been put out for repairs and the other
two colleagues who knew how to run and maintain the machine had left for better
jobs so it was only me and igor by then with me working quite some overtime for
good pay all bs aside hourly wage was really proper one morning i noticed
something pretty weird the order i had just started the previous afternoon on
was still not finished again with just two blades remaining every measurement
report has a time stamp which i quickly had a look into the measurement cycle
for these was like three minutes plus one minute exchanging one blade for the
next for some reason the measurement reports from igor's shift had like 10 to
15 minute gaps in between some even half an hour igor was still around as he had
the night shift i knew he was a bit of a
slacker but these gaps were quite big so i first thought there'd been trouble
with the machine i asked him if he had any trouble with the machine last night
and he snapped at me that all had been fine i asked him if he was sure and he
in return inquired why i asked i told him that there was quite some heavy gaps
in between the measurement report and that i couldn't find any error messages
of sudden stops or such igor looked at those timestamps for a moment back at me
and just shrugged before he went home that would have been the end of it if it
wouldn't have been even stranger the next shift monday i had for once not
worked on saturday so igor had three shifts in since i'd clocked out i came
in as usual did the maintenance in cleaning and wanted to check how far
he'd gotten four orders had went through
since my last shift so i assumed that as usual i would have to compile the
reports but there were none i was pretty confused searching the
order's numbers checking the machine protocol and all the measuring machine
had been running over the weekend with no shutdown or restart visible in the
log but also no measurement reports at all i called in vladimir as well four
orders worth of reports missing is a big deal according to rules i also informed
my boss that the machine was stand still due to technical issues both vladimir
and my boss came into the measuring room
and we three searched for the problem it took us a while to figure it out simply
to it being absolutely not expected someone had turned off the output of the
machine maybe to avoid the time stamps this
again caused quite some ruckus as all four orders had to be measured again
with reports and production was a really
struggling now to have something to work on again
all clear who messed up and finally freddie had enough but not of igor the
malicious compliance the afternoon of the same day freddy the boss of the
entire assessment department came into my measuring room nice expensive suit
tie polished shoes and went straight into my face i was currently sitting in
my chair compiling the results of the re-measured first order when he stood
before me giving me no room to get up he
looked down on me and snapped at me that he was sick and tired of me bullying my
coworkers he handed me a letter which were the sign papers of my contract
termination signed by him of course he informed me that i had exactly two
options now i could either promise to do
better apologize to my coworker igor and
admit i was at fault or i would be fired
immediately well the good thing of being bullied and terrorized for most of your
childhood is you learn to keep a cool head under stress so i reigned in my
first urge to discuss with him or tell him that such was illegal instead i took
the letter and read through it before nodding a few times due to my cold
professional attitude i was known for often remaining silent so he took my
nods as my compliance he informed me that he awaited my written apology
before 2pm all of the bosses went home by 2pm and he came in around 8 or 9.
well when he turned around and marched out with a smug grin he left me with the
termination letter with his signature on it fun fact when both parties agree to
it a contract can be cancelled immediately without any further
responsibilities besides paying for already issued hours which go directly
through human resources via the electronic timestamps of our clocking i
had two hours left until this deadline and i spent it carefully cleaning my
workplace making a backup of my work laptop according to the rules and then
also according to the rules cleaned the hard drive completely the backup was put
into the assigned server with all my data correctly named and compiled but of
course the server for backup data is marked as unsearchable to avoid your
search list getting cluttered after all the same parts types came in again and
again with the same material numbers of course if you know the rules and knew
you were to search you would find the stuff within 20 seconds if not well good
luck mate it's only like 10 terabytes or so i made a copy of the termination
paper signed by me now too and sent them to my email which was allowed put the
original back into the envelope and packed my things up then i went up to my
office envelope in hand the big boss showed his smug smile again the moment
he saw me but was quickly confused when he saw me with my laptop work phone and
all that too i handed him the letter offered a polite nod and turned around
again he shouted where the heck was i going him still holding the envelope in
his hand you terminated my contract according to the rules i'm to hand over
all personal equipment i'd been handed by the company before leaving exception
according to paragraph b are safety shoes and safety glasses i bid you a
fine day mr freddie i said that with a cold calculated voice trying my best to
sound like a lawyer simply because i knew that he hated my professional
attitude then i went to my own boss and piled my stuff on his desk my boss was
confused as heck asking me what was up i briefly informed him that my contract
was terminated and that once more quoted
the rule my boss was a smug butt too but he wasn't all dumb his eyes went big as
he immediately realized that i was the only person he had left that actually
knew how to maintain and properly operate the measuring machine and that
he had such a backlog already that other departments relying on the measurements
had started to enforce short time work he was first lost for words and then
rushed into freddie's office to see that termination letter meanwhile i changed
my clothes in a locker room went to the gate and asked the security guards to
please have a full inspection of my person and my backpack that was likewise
regulation for personnel that was terminated on short notice and while the
security guards were pretty baffled that i asked to be searched they complied
they searched me fully and handed me a written confirmation that i had nothing
on me that belonged to the company my now ex-boss tried to call me all the
time on my way home but i dislike having phone calls in public transport so i
simply muted them and continued reading my book until i got home there 4 pm by
now so well past his own time to go home i finally answered his call he tried to
convince me that i needed this job and that this all could be sorted my reply
i'll have a new job within a week you will need to take at least a month to
train someone new on the machine if you had anyone that could train a new person
i'll tell you what give me a solid contract with triple the pay and i come
back oh and i want a written apology from freddy to as well as my piece when
working he told me that i was completely unreasonable with such demands again i
say so to get this clear three times i discover massive bs happening three
times you guys try to heap the blame on me and then you guys literally try to
humiliate me and freddie does actually fire me and you want me to be reasonable
well guess it would be reasonable then to just ignore you then please be well i
hung up on him and blocked his number as well as any other number which he would
try to call me with later on the aftermath as i mentioned before i still
had ears in the company so i have a good
idea what followed the facility suddenly had its most sensitive bottleneck
tightened even further and then clogged full of concrete soon after no one
maintained or cleaned the measuring machine anymore and being a precision
machine it didn't take that lightly vladimir was soon called in multiple
times a day to fix a problem which in return built up a backlog for him in
other places things i or previously antonio had fixed within a minute now
took hours just for vladimir to find time and come over and fix it in a
minute he tried explaining stuff to igor but yeah didn't work well other
departments ran completely dry of work and of course they didn't want to bear
the blame for missed deadlines so the whole issue was pretty quickly reported
up the ladder and with no one wanting to take the hit it climbed higher and
higher before it eventually got onto the desk of the national ceo of the company
the highest entity of the company this side of the great pond found that out by
a friend in hr was followed with the arrival of the proverbial kill squad you
know the modern equivalent to an executor a bunch of guys in very tight
suits no sense of humor cold eyes and the strict command to find someone's
head to put on a silver plate as far as i heard even a prosecutor from the usa
was among them i was called by the company a month later asking if i could
come in for an interview not a job interview mind you but they asked me to
give my statement on the whole affair this wasn't a legal thing and they had
no way to force me to make a statement as it was an internal investigation but
i still happily complied and even gave my signature that i told the truth gave
them the entire story as accurate as i could and openly admitted what i didn't
know or where i was only guessing they thanked me and apologized honestly i
felt that they couldn't pay me for the time they took for me due to legal
reasons i was fine with all that and went home igor got fired for careless
negligence his brother boris likewise got the immediate boot in the butt my
boss went down under as well he and boris were fired for mismanagement their
boss however freddie he got not only fired but dragged in front of court no
idea how that went on as he was dragged to the u.s but given how ridiculous that
justice system is and that he'd been designated as a scapegoat by one of the
biggest companies worldwide wouldn't be surprised if he had a hold
very tightly on the soap for a good while the entire facility went firmly in
the reds for that year due to nearly all contracted reworks missing deadlines
which means a daily fee of tens of thousands per contract my ears in the
company soon sought themselves new jobs despite in one case being there for 20
years last i heard is that the company had to contact the producer of the
measurement machine to train the new employee how to operate it properly i
had asked for triple mypay well those guys were more like triple the zeros at
the end oh and i did find a new job within one day i was fired on monday had
the interview on tuesday a test work day the thursday and i was asked at the end
of that day when i could start which was
next monday i do manual measurements now in an incoming quality control
department the boss is a blast the team is all friendly and my commute is 18
minutes with an electric scooter i've worked there for nine months now and i'm
already the de facto team leader for the first sample stuff and best of all i'm
appreciated for the work i do too hope you like this long story i mean looking
beyond the simple fact that this was awful nepotism at place here i think
this really also highlights why you don't really want to work with your
friends or family if at all possible it's one thing if it's a family-owned
business but in this situation you can see it pretty clearly you don't want to
blame your own brother or hold them responsible for something that they're
doing wrong but the problem is you're doing that as an integral part of a
multi-billion dollar business needless to say blood is thicker than water but
is it really thicker than a stack of billions of dollars that said though
that's all the time we have for today now if you want to hear another
malicious compliance story that was crazier than both of the ones in this
video click on that left video or if you missed my latest video click on the
right that said though i'll see you all next time with some more stories | give me a good story on rMaliciousComplianceHOWIGOTTHECEOFIREDRedditStoriesorig |

AIT for telling my husband that I don't want any more kids so my husband 29 and
I 23 have a son too together we have been married for almost 5 years up until
our son was born we used to live away from each other like in different
countries after having him we decided to move in together to help our son have a
future together with both of his parents our marriage was arranged so that I had
no idea what kind of person he was before our marriage we dated for like
four months before we got married we decided on at least three kids so after
moving in with him I felt like I could be closer to my husband and happy unlike
when I used to live with his parents a whole different story he works 14 hours
a day so initially I thought that was the reason for him neglecting his duties
as a parent he came home tired and refused to do anything with me unless to
have sex and he would not play with the baby occasionally he would play with the
baby while I make dinner but if the baby
starts crying he would scream my name to come look after the baby then he would
take his phone and start avoiding us again when I tell him to do something
around the house he would say that I'm whiny all the time and he is tired of
hearing me whine in all the 25 months that my son has been here not once has
my husband changed his diaper and he might have bathed him six or seven times
he does nothing at home but wash his own dishes and later when I ask him to help
me with chores he would say that I'm lucky that he washes his dishes and he
is too tired to do anything else he thinks looking after a baby and washing
one dish is the same and if something happens to the baby if he gets a cold or
if he accidentally falls from the bed it's all my fault for not having my eyes
on him all the freaking time now 2 years later I have a remote job a toddler who
loves to climb on everything he sees and a ton of house work my husband still
refused to admit that I have lots of work even when I'm at home according to
him I'm free 24/7 and I'm constantly lying around the house with absolutely
no tension about paying the bills it's true I don't pay the bills because I
didn't have a job or anything before and he promised he would provide for us but
the baby wasn't made just by me we had a huge fight about this last night and I
told him that I'm not going to have any more kids because it already feels like
I have two he got angry at that and is now refusing to talk to me I don't know
if I'm the a-hole in this situation or not he says that I was leading him on
all this time and I om him te | give me a good story on AITAHfortellingmyhusbandthatIdontwantanymorekids |

today we've got a crazy bombshell being
dropped to somebody's niece we'll get to that in a bit but first best friend
slept with my boyfriend so I sent her to the hospital there was a time that I
believed I got murder instincts if I was not stopped I would have gotten in
pretty serious trouble against the state I mean I could have literally ended
someone trust me I don't have anger issues or a short temper but In the Heat
of the Moment I picked up a vase and I was running in full speed to smash it on
someone's head it could have killed them or better just made him unconscious but
if you think that this was at the spur of the moment or done without deliberate
thinking then maybe you need to hear the whole story hi I'm Lana I had a best
friend called Pamela and my boyfriend was Joshua this is my story of how my
ex-boyfriend cheated on me with none other than my former best friend yes
they were both replaced we were all in the same high school before I decided to
travel to Turkey to further my education I wanted to be a doctor and my father
attended a Turkish school too and and became a fantastic medical doctor so
yeah he pretty much wanted the same for me also some of his classmates were now
working in the school and his former lecturers were still there somehow my
dad still had affiliations with his school but hated the American school
system it helps to say at this point that my family's from turkey and we
still have relations there my mom and dad met and lived there until they
decided to relocate to America for better opportunities I was born in
America and attended American High School though luckily for me I didn't
get all that bullying and racism maybe I
did but I didn't recognize it I was also
called the prettiest girl in every class I was in my beauty always got me some
advantages like how before I got out of high school I dated about four or five
boyfriends I was was also a smart student my best friend at that time was
a white girl we were both science freaks as my dad would not let me introduce a
girl who was not as brilliant as me as my best friend because of this we had
unhindered sleepovers that we turned to studying we would do a little bit of
studying and then go on talking about boys and stuff Pamela was also pretty
and she had a boyfriend at that time but
a new boy got into our school who was so hot and she thought I should date him I
was dismissive of her offer because I had just recently broken up with another
boy but she was insisting I finally saw what she was saying and agreed based on
these Petty ideas if I was the first to date him then he would forever be my ex
and if another girl dated him later she would be dating my ex Pamela convinced
me that it was better for some girl to be dating my ex than me dating any ones
secondly she told me to test my sexiness on him if he calls for me and agrees to
date me then I can be sure that I still got it if not then I don't she wanted me
to challenge myself to get a new guy thinking about it now those were
probably the world's lamest reasons to get into a relationship what if I found
out that I could woo a guy but didn't want to date him it wasn't okay with
Pamela for him to just like me to her that didn't prove anything until I was
able to get him to ask me out I agreed to her challenge we always challenged
each other and academics Sports as well as boys Joshua was tall a sexy jock who
wasted no time settling in with the boys he had brown hair and green eyes he
brought his skateboard to school even though it wasn't allowed so that pretty
much gave him the bad boy narrative and he was so cute I didn't doubt my beauty
anyway even though he became friends with my ex the guy I had just broken up
with so every class that day I sat next to him and started a conversation
sometimes it was just sighing and calling the class boring but he noticed
how smart I was so that intrigued him in
math class my teacher would always check on me before other students and say
Marianne has gotten it correct I wonder why the rest of you are finding it
difficult it didn't take long for Joshua to get interested in the hot chick who
knew her algebra in physics formulas the next thing I knew before every class he
was asking me if I was taking the next before the end of the day he changed his
elective class because of me and also told me it was rare to find a smart and
pretty girl that was also nice we exchanged contacts and I told Pamela
about everything she already knew most of the things I told her because she was
literally in the same class she heard people say that I slept around and I was
a user because I went for the new guy but she encouraged me to keep trying as
long as I really wanted him I could ignore them at that point I wasn't sure
if I even wanted him I didn't even know the kind of person Joshua was so the
next day we hung out I mean he actually took me out and we got talking you know
I wanted to become a doctor and he wanted to be a computer scientist there
were many intriguing things about him that eventually made me start liking him
skip to the important part he asked me out not long after that day we thought
we were too good for each other not to date and since there was only one
holiday and another term before the end of the school year we had to date
quickly I never felt pressured to do anything like that before not even to
major in medicine when Pamela found out that he asked me out she hurried me to
give him a response he asked out via iMessages his reason was that we have to
at least see if we're good for each other and not pass up the opportunity
unlike me he didn't have a friend cheering him on my ex-boyfriend at that
time just stopped talking to him when Joshua started hanging out with me a lot
the only motivation Joshua would have gotten was probably that I was good
looking and the other boys probably confirmed it I couldn't resist not
because of Pamela but I also also started getting attracted to him his
brains and cool demeanor were very attractive plus if I passed that
opportunity I knew I would regret it so I went for it and replied to his text he
sent flower emojis right after and the very next day in school we were the
couple everyone was talking about Pamela and I used to go out a lot and now that
I had a boyfriend she suggested that I spend more time with him or we could
double date it was a pleasant idea because Rob Pamela's boyfriend was very
witty the double dates were Rob and Pamela's chances to really meet Joshua
as far as I knew we got along so well the holiday season was probably the best
time of my life Joshua's parents were rich and surprisingly he could take me
home and I could even meet his parents but not mine obviously my parents were
very strict whenever we were in his room we were always up to no good and I bet
you understand with this whole teenage hormones and every everything the
bedroom was always hot we went out to fancy restaurants and he bought me
everything I wanted I didn't get expensive Dior Handbags and Chanel shoes
I mean stuff like Teddy Bears phone cases and flowers maybe because I never
asked for expensive things my parents trained all their kids not to desire
costly items badly would always act like she's happy
for me she would usually say things like oh I need to get this but you Marianne
you don't have an issue just ask Joshua and he'll get it for you I was happy
that I had him and all we stayed together until the last day of school
and on graduation we agreed that we could continue our relationship long
distance he promised that with his money sometimes he could fly me back during
the holidays even if my parents said I should stay with my relatives in Turkey
he promised many things and it was all because we could not bear being away
from each other for so long the time came for me to go to school I cried but
my parents thought it was because I was going to miss them it was mostly Joshua
and Pamela they were like family to me at that point I couldn't imagine what
school would be like without my best friend the first month was hard with the
new language and everything being I had Joshua and Pamela to do group video
calls with sometimes but our workload began to get so bulky that we didn't
have time for that anymore I forced myself to fit in during the weekend I
would call my boyfriend and talk about the food the difference in culture and
the way the teachers taught he would tell me about his own experience in
school and we would laugh about other things my parents sent me money monthly
to keep up Joshua sent some too so I had enough money to save up when things
started getting suspicious was what I'd call Joshua and Pamela was with him or
I'd call Pamela and Joshua was there they said they were just hanging out and
I believed them then things became hard between Joshua and I I originally
thought it was because we got too busy I
almost called this GS off because it was so frustrating trying to get him to be
conversational with me and him just being a brick wall I talked to Pamela
about it she didn't give the response I expected from her she was like you know
he's busy and everything you shouldn't think much about it I asked her if she
knew anything that was going on that was frustrating him she said she didn't but
it could be anything later I put the two things together Pamela had broken up
with Rob Joshua was distant from me and used less words while he was always
hanging out with Pamela I saw it on their Instagram stories and snap they
seem to have gotten really close closer than they were before I left in
retrospect Pamela was the first one to call Joshua cute and tell me to go for
him so she definitely was attracted to him I was getting too worked up about
the whole matter there was nothing I could do from Turkey so I stopped
bothering either of them about anything and they stopped texting me too just
once in a while during the holiday I told my parents I wanted to go home I
think they missed me too so they surprisingly agreed and I got perfect
grades that semester they said I deserved what I wanted I went home
silently and didn't tell Pamela or Joshua about it crazily enough I stocked
them both I followed Joshua around on my
parents car and sometimes I saw him meet
Pamela but only in public places this is where I thought I was really losing it
acting like a psychopath obsessively following people I decided to give up
but not totally I still didn't let any of them know I was in town his birthday
was getting closer I planned to surprise
him I packaged a lovely present with the
money I saved up there were shoes a cake goodies a new suit perfume and a PS5
after packaging it beautifully and putting it in my mom's car I thought
about something crazy what if I got there and saw him kissing Pamela I
brushed it off but before I did I imagined myself smashing a heavy object
on his head it wasn't just an imagination it was like I was devising a
plan because I believed that they'd been
making out just that I never caught them he was throwing a party in his house
that afternoon so I got there earlier to
surprise them his mother opened the door
and just before I could greet her or she could announce my presence I ran up the
stairs to his room and just as I thought Pamela was there she was wearing a bra
and shorts and he was only in shorts like I premeditated I got a vase from
where I knew it would be and I was charging after Joshua in full force
thankfully before I get there Pamela saw me in a rushed to hold me thank God she
was fast because I could have killed someone and gotten in real trouble but
as she got a hold of me I instinctively used my elbow to hit her jaw and
destabilize her the vase fell from my hand and broke but I continued to fight
screaming and scratching Joshua's mother heard the commotion going on and rushed
to the door she managed to separate us but the damage had already been done I
found out later that Pamela's jaw had been hit so hard the bone dislocated I
was lucky because it didn't require surgery or anything like like that but
she had to go to the hospital to nurse some wounds and fix her jaw while I was
unharmed that would teach her not to mess with me I was heartbroken and I
should have heard Joshua too but something told me that if I went for him
I would also land in the hospital Joshua's mom decided to pay the hospital
bills herself and not tell my parents because she was wrong to not tell me
that my boyfriend was cheating or something along the lines of not
training her son well she apologized that she didn't know that we were still
dating anyways I was lucky Pam's parents didn't find out either Pamela lied to
them that she got into a fight with some students in her school I flew back to
Turkey yeah I was gonna say the guilt is
very obvious here because it didn't seem like op was gonna talk about them
getting in trouble or legally financially honestly it kind of sucks
that the mom had to pay for it because it's not really the mom's fault in any
way but at least she knew that Joshua her son was in the wrong and you know
what hopefully she tries to hold him little bit more accountable for being a
crappy person our next story is I exposed my sister's long-term secret and
revealed to my niece that she was adopted I wanted to get back at my
sister by revealing to her daughter that she was adopted but things got even
worse than I anticipated and my sister's life changed and no it was not for the
better at the time I carried out my revenge my sister was 46 years old and I
was 36. yes my sister was 10 years older and she was a bully because of it well
that and the fact that my mom enabled her bad behavior all my life she has
hated me she hated me for having a present dad for having healthy hair for
being beautiful for pursuing an education and for generally being liked
by others she hated me for these things not minding the fact that she had all of
that except for the first and last ones my sister is my mom's first child our
mom had her with her dad when she was fresh out of college her dad belonged to
a different race culture so his family never accepted my mom not even when they
found out she was going to have a baby my maternal grandmother according to my
mom would always advise her kids and even her grandkids my cousins and sister
I never met her to never marry or date someone whose culture was vastly
different from theirs my sister's dad was going to marry our mom but his
family was very bitter towards her they clearly did not want her for their son
and brother and they wanted someone from their culture my mom decided that she
could not deal with having in-laws who can't stand her she added things with my
sister's dad and moved on with her life her ex-boyfriend was mad about that he
wanted them to continue her relationship even though he never stood up to his
family for her he was so mad that he disappeared from my mom and sister's
life so he won't have to be responsible for my sister my mom refused to bother
about child support she never sued or filed a complaint against him she
accepted being a single mother and started to raise them alone until she
met my dad who married her and took responsibility for my sister despite my
dad loving her like she was his and treating her like a literal princess my
sister was spoiled and rude my dad and mom would assume that she was acting out
for different reasons and rather than said boundaries or create consequences
for her actions they would let her get away with anything even bullying my
dad's nieces and nephews who often came to our house to visit my earliest
memories of my sister were her bullying and teasing me she said the meanest
things to me and for no reason too my dad could hardly caution her or tell her
off because then my mom would accuse him of scolding her because she wasn't his
child mom always tried to overcompensate for the absence of her father my mom
only scolded her when she'd done something very terrible so terrible that
my mom can't look away my mom indulged my sister so much that she soon got out
of control I remember an incident that happened happened when I was seven or
eight my mom and sister argued and my sister called my mom a witch my mom was
enraged and she slapped my sister my sister surprisingly slapped her back we
my mom my aunt and me were all shocked my mom asked her to leave the house and
my sister did she moved in with her boyfriend but they kept having several
issues so she returned home later to the annoyance of my dad who had had enough
of her nasty attitude and unruliness she kept getting into trouble and all of
that so my mom made her leave town and move far away from where we all lived
she just wanted some peace and she got it while my sister was away sadly there
was an unfortunate accident when my parents were out on a road trip and they
both died I was 19 at the time and I was still trying to figure life out my
sister asked if she could move back home with me and I agreed I thought it made
sense at the time she was my only family and I needed Comfort during our first
year together we supported each other and she was like my mom but I soon
started to see certain qualities that I did not like about her she never moved
back out and she gradually went back to being my biggest bully a thorn in my
flesh the house we lived in belonged to my parents it was fully paid for too my
parents never rode a wheel or anything but naturally the home ought to come to
my sister and me that was what I thought
until one day I saw a letter outside our home it read that our parents had
borrowed money from a certain private money lender and that the house was used
as collateral they proposed that we pay up the loan or vacate the premises they
even added that they were willing to give us the time to do it I was
devastated when this happened I was young and working at a local Diner I
hardly had any money and was looking to save up to go to film School my sister
wasn't home that night because she had traveled to spend the weekend with her
boyfriend when she returned I showed her the mail I had gotten and she was also
devastated did she cried and I cried with her where are you gonna go she
asked me I don't know I replied to her I truly had no idea what was next for me
my dad's home was quite big it had four bedrooms and a large backyard we moved
there when I was six and I've loved it there ever since I loved my room the
small Library the space and everything I couldn't imagine anyone else living
there and I told my sister this she said we can't leave this house we can't let
them take it we don't have a choice I told my sister I just hope that if
another family buys it and moves in then they make fun memories as we did I'd
hate for this place to be turned into a fancy restaurant or some other
impersonal space my sister looked very sad and I remember giving her a big hug
I'd already started to look into my savings and what kind of place I could
rent in town after the three months we were allowed to stay in our home elapsed
when my sister knocked on my bedroom door I answered and she came in looking
a little cheerful talk to my boyfriend about everything that's happened and
he's agreed to pay off the loan With a Little Help from me of course I didn't
understand what she had said at first what she said yes he offered to pay off
the loan and kind of buy the house I thought about it for a while and asked
if she thought that was a good idea I mean it's our home what are we going to
do after he buys the house are we going to have to buy it from him in the future
she said no it'd become his house our house really because I'd be chipping in
my entire savings too I said so the house would belong to you too I wasn't
comfortable with our house belonging to my sister and her boyfriend I didn't
like her even though I loved her and I didn't like her boyfriend either I'd
only met him once but he was quite unpleasant he was loud and unnecessarily
rude to people the one time he took my sister and me out for dinner he was very
mean to a male waiter and for no good reason too the thought of him owning our
home terrified me I don't think that's a
a good idea I told my sister I needed to take a nap as I was very tired and she
left the next day she asked if I still thought it wasn't a good idea to have
her boyfriend pay for the house listen I understand your fears but we'll get
married soon when we do get married the house will belong to me that way the
house stays in the family even in the event of a divorce I agreed with my
sister I would rather my sister retain the house and I can visit whenever I
want then to have a stranger move in it or have it demolished and turn into a
commercial building by developers I told her to go ahead and have her boyfriend
pay off the debts that weekend her boyfriend came over to our house and
they went together to see the money lenders he stayed a while longer since
it was a weekend and they needed to complete signing the papers I was very
naive at the time I never bothered to inquire into the whole thing to visit
the money lender's office myself and ask exactly what was going on I trusted my
sister to handle everything a year later my sister and her boyfriend got married
and he moved in with us it was heck having to deal with my sister's tantrums
and horrible treatment she was so self-absorbed and she wanted her mood to
dictate everyone else's when she was sad
she wanted us to be sad and whenever she
was happy we had to be happy her husband got tired and would randomly pack his
bags and Escape but I had nowhere to go one day I decided to leave I couldn't
deal with my sister's nastiness any longer but my sister came begging she
revealed that she was struggling with fertility issues and that it was
affecting her behavior I knew that she wanted a child but I didn't know that
she'd been diagnosed with a fertility problem so I felt sorry for her while I
felt sorry for her I knew that my sister's Behavior had nothing to do with
her situation she'd always been a self-absorbed bully at home and even in
school still I stayed out of pity when I went off to college my sister adopted a
child a a beautiful girl I was away in college so I wasn't a part of the
process I didn't even know that she was considering adopting a child until the
process had worked out and she told me about it I was happy for her because I
knew how much she longed to have a child
after college I moved back to my sisters I honestly thought that things would
have changed if she was now a mother but she was still very mean and unkind even
to her own daughter and husband her husband filed for a divorce and that
hurt her even more and made her meaner toward me and her daughter I decided to
move out and live on my own it made sense to do that anyway as it was long
overdue I moved out but that angered my sister who felt I'd betrayed her by
moving out she wanted me to stay and take care of her since her husband had
just left but I couldn't because her frequent Tantrums got to me even after
I'd moved out of my sister's home I still dealt with so many insults from
her she would call me on the phone and tell me that I'm evil and insensitive
for leaving her so I decided to cut her off all together I stopped taking her
calls and I moved out of town many years later my niece became a very fun young
teenager she looked me up on Facebook and we became friends very often she
would have issues with her mom and tell me about it I think her mom snooped on
her phone and saw her conversations but also didn't want her daughter to think
she was the bad guy she invited me to her home and we reconciled she then
revealed to me that her daughter didn't know that she was adopted and made me
promise not to tell her I promise not to even though I didn't agree with that
decision I went on a date and that date changed everything for me I met this guy
who was a developer and he told me about the private money lending business
somehow I mentioned how some years back my ex-brother-in-law had paid off my
parents debt the whole thing sounded fishy to him and he asked more questions
he was very interested and asked if I could recall the name of the lending
company I told them I could I'd kept the original letter for a long time and I
never forgot them because they took my home for me well after a lot of
Investigations on both our sides it turned out that my sister and her ex
planned it to dupe me of my inheritance I called her X and he couldn't deny it
he was ashamed of himself I never confronted my sister I simply told her
daughter that she was adopted I knew that would make things even worse
between them because they had a crappy relationship and I knew my sister was
trying to fix their relationship her daughter was all she had at this point
as I predicted and wanted badly her daughter was hurt she was mad at me too
for not telling her earlier but I didn't care there was nothing compared to the
anger she would unleash on her mother all I wanted was for my sister to suffer
for putting me through heck to have duped me like that because I was young
and naive was simply unforgivable the next time my niece and I spoke my sister
had been around rested it turned out that even her adoption was illegal and
my niece called the cops herself she had done some research on her own and found
out many irregularities and then when she confronted her mom and her mom tried
to shut her out she called the police it was a very messy situation and I tried
my best not to get involved in all of that I never got home because I never
tried and my sister had ruined all the good memories anyway but I got my
revenge and it felt so good to see my sister crumble I mean although op got
their revenge and op seemed satisfied enough if I was in OP shoes I don't know
if I would be that house sounds like it's worth quite a bit and to be
completely just gone of that entire inheritance I don't know if it's too
late now and I know op said the memories are all gone but they should try to go
back and get some of that for themselves but with that being said that's all the
time we have for today now if you want to hear another absolutely crazy Revenge

today we have a crazy Revenge story of destroying somebody's career we'll get
into that in a bit but first I got back in my partner after he abandoned his
family being a mother a single mother at that is hard enough already as it is
there are quite a lot of things that a woman in my shoes or situation is meant
to be on the lookout for but most importantly the number one thing that
tends to prove to be quite a huge problem is the fact that I have to step
up and assume the role of both the father and mother to my child and I know
what every single one of you might be thinking this is whether or not I was
careless when I was still in my teenage years and all that but I can tell you
for a fact that the father of my child who was at the time my apparent high
school sweetheart left me at that point in my life when I needed him the most
and quite literally left every single one of the responsibilities that was
waiting for him and this was not while we weren't together no quite opposite in
fact as at the time we had decided to get married as soon as possible and then
he just left leaving me to saddle the responsibility of taking care of our
child for quite a long period of time but then again he could have only have
run for so long as there are quite a number of ways I could have paid him
back but the one way I did choose to resort to was the one that I felt the
most satisfied with and the one that I knew for a fact was going to affect him
the greatest I female 20 and my then partner male 22 were at the time
together in a relationship and not just any kind of relationship but the kind
that quite literally every single student in our school at the time was
overly envious of we were like a match made in heaven people always said that
we were perfect together and that we were made for each other and this was
honestly how I felt about him at the time for reference purposes let's call
him Andrew so the story about how Andrew and I met is a funny one as one could
never imagine things would have turned out the way it did with the both of us
first off we were never on speaking terms with each other as while we were
in school at the time there was an incident and while I was involved in the
separation of those involved in the incident I wasn't particularly among
those that were having issues and quarreling at the time and while the
whole thing was going on Andrew stood there and was staring down at me with
this look of disgust it was almost as if he was totally disappointed with the
situation I was in as it looked like I was involved with whatever was going on
at that particular point in time anyways
after that day although we had never for
once engaged in proper conversation with each other I would always feel that
stare from him whether or not he was around me at the time and this was
already starting to become a problem for me and so one day I confronted him and
made several attempts to figure out what exactly was going through his mind
whenever he saw me and his response made me forget every single thing I was
thinking at the time and just burst out into laughter apparently he had thought
that I was the one that initiated the fight and he said from that moment
onwards he was always scared of crossing paths with with me as to him this might
lead to another fight or quarrel similar to the one that had occurred when we
first crossed paths I simply laughed at off and assured him that I wasn't that
kind of person and that things were not too complicated on my own end and it was
from there we picked up the conversation and we basically started all over by
introducing each other and making our acquaintances he began complimenting me
right then and there and I must say this
was when I totally lost it I was already beginning to see him in some very
notable features which included his broad shoulders his tall and well- belt
physique and also his horse voice which sent shivers down my spine all of these
totally made me forget the particular reason why I came on over to meet him in
the first place and by the end of our conversation at that time he had already
gotten my number as he said he would love to continue the conversation on a
later date probably over dinner or something and this was where I knew that
I was totally gone and anyways fast forward a few months later we had
already given what we were a tag and to the greatest surprise of quite literally
every single one of our friends we were already together in a relationship a
happy one at that I might add there was quite literally no fault in his person
he had everything a woman could ever ask for in a man and I couldn't have wanted
him any other way this was not withstanding the fact that he was
extremely handsome and it was already noticeable that every other girl or lady
at the time had their eyes on him but the one thing I was sure of was the fact
that he was not going to leave me for any one of them or so I thought right
after high school we were supposed to submit our applications for the colleges
of our choice and at the time I had my dream College in mind but then again
when I considered the fact that I was going to be apart from him I was already
beginning to reconsider my choices and all but I didn't know how he would have
taken or handled that piece of information and then when I asked him he
made me know that nothing would make him happier than me applying for the same
College as he was and I don't know why I felt that way but the sudden urge to do
just whatever it was that he asked of me just completely took over and before I
knew what was happening I was already accepting the admission given to me by
the same College Andrew had chosen I just knew that things were going to be
all right for the both of us and there was nothing that could come between us I
knew that he was the one I wanted to spend the rest of my life with and
nothing nothing was going to change my mind not even in the slightest bit and
then while we were on campus our dorms were not too far from each other and so
seeing each other on a daily basis was no issue at all the area where we begin
to have issues was when he had started demanding that both of us to be
intimately physical with each other sure I was with him 100% and there was no
other person that had the keys to my heart at the time but then again this
was seeming like quite a huge step to take in our relationship and I didn't
want to make any rash moves and so I told him off and he brought this up over
and over and over again multiple times in fact it got to a point where I was
already starting to feel guilty about turning him down that many times but I
made a promise to myself and I was determined to keep that promise by all
possible means necessary and when I informed him of this it resulted in an
argument that almost led to the end of our relationship at the time the only
thing that stopped him from ending things was the fact that he definitely
wanted to make me regret my decision but this was unknown to me at the time
anyways after quite a long period of back and forth arguments as regards this
physical intimacy we finally decided that we were going to get married right
after college seeing as both wanted each other and there was nothing stopping us
from doing so immediately after we were done with getting our degrees and all
and just like that we had already made and for our future with each other
together and just as planned right as we were done with college We Got Married
the year after as we took quite a long time planning the entire wedding
inviting friends and family and all those other necessities but then right
after that we finally had the chance to be with each other in the realest of all
sense because at this time I truly felt safe and secure with him he had
officially become my safe space and I knew for a fact that he is always going
to be there for me seeing as we had both
tied the knot or so I thought so naively
in fact almost a whole year after we had gotten married I was still in my early
20s at the time and I hadn't secured a job for myself at the time Andrew
however on the other hand had already succeeded in making a name for himself
in his place of work even though he was only working there for a little over a
year he was making great strides and this was a win for the both of us so of
course I was happy for us this was until I found out that I was pregnant with a
bouncing baby boy and I just couldn't wait to bring break the good news to him
and his reaction showed how this really meant to him and how he truly viewed me
I was happy for myself and my baby boy as this was the moment where I truly
knew that we were truly in safe hands fast forward a bit to where things got a
real interesting real quick this was almost a week to my due date and then he
just decided that he wanted to attend a conference meeting in a whole other time
zone I was against this as it would mean that he wouldn't be there to see his
baby being born but then again I didn't know that it was all his plan as that
was the last time I set my eyes on him I had our son alone and even weeks after
I'd left the hospital I was still taking care of our son alone the bills were
having my neck and trying to cater for the needs of my newborn was also having
its way with me all this while he was completely unreachable several nights
would go by and I would cry myself to sleep every other night all while
holding on to the slightest hope that he would return with a plausible
explanation he didn't and after six whole years he
finally called back with a private number asking to meet me I was filled
with rage and uncontrollable anger I thought of what I could say or do but I
decided to control myself as best as I could and hear him out and after
agreeing to the Meetup and after hearing what he had to say I was completely
disappointed and I knew right then and there that he wasn't worth all the time
and attention I'd wasted on him all this
while as this was when he explained that
he just got married to me to get back at me for back when we were in high school
and when he found out that he was going to be a father he panicked and ran away
but then he said he was back and he was in a state of true regret he wanted to
be in his child's life again and mine too but I wasn't having it I wanted to
get back at him and the only way I knew I could was by getting a divorce and
also full custody of my child as I knew that through the divorce I could get
alimony for all my struggles and also through the full custody scheme he would
never get to see his child again and all of this was easily made possible by a
friend of mine who was a lawyer until this day I've never set my eyes on him
as that was the last encounter we ever had with each other the only Solace I
took from all of this was the deprivation of his right to see his
child and of course financial compensation and this was enough for me
as I had already moved on from him I think he made it really easy for op to
do this Revenge which honestly I think is maybe just the right thing to do not
just for op but for the kid as well him showing up and saying oh well I just got
married to you because I wanted to get back at you for what you did in high
school doesn't make any sense at all and is the flimsiest excuse and he was
probably just looking for the opportunity to mooch off of op he
probably burned some other Bridges elsewhere and had nowhere else to go who
knows maybe he knocked up somebody else and was trying to get back to the first
situation that said our next story is how I got around a non-compete Clause
with a former boss many years back I met
someone very rich he came from money and had a lot of money of his own but he
didn't know what to do with his money it is funny now that I think about it but
that's what it was at the time he had a lot of money but was confused about what
to do with it specifically how to multiply it at the time I was 23 I had
just graduated from college and my head and mind were swimming with ideas I had
many IDE ideas on how to make money but one needed money to make money and not
only did I not have any money I had student loans to pay up when we met I
mentioned that there are many ways to make more money in the city we met and
he became very curious and started to ask me questions my answers were vague
mostly because I didn't want him to steal them of course I was being
cautious and he caught on to that he then assured me that he wanted to know
because he would love to invest in me he then told about how how for a long time
his father never respected him his two other brothers were respected by their
father but his father just saw him as a spoiled boy who could not do anything
right he had access to some of his dad's
money and like I said he was a rich dude but he craved his dad's respect he
wanted to multiply his dad's money like his brothers were already doing I was
impressed that despite being handed money on a platter he still wanted to
earn respect for himself and I shared some of my ideas with him I figured
since he wanted to invest in me he could easily be a silent investor while I did
all the work and shared profits with him I shared different ideas with him but
only one stood out for him he asked more questions about it and then decided to
start a business together we exchanged contacts and he asked me to come to his
home the next Friday he said by then he would have discusted with his lawyers
and we can come to an agreement that day I was glad I went to the businessman's
networking event where I met him my Dad's friend had suggested that I attend
such events regularly to meet and rub Minds with like-minded people he said it
would help me grow faster in my career when I returned home after that event I
called my ex-girlfriend she had just graduated from law school and I figured
it would be more affordable to have her represent me I suggest he talk to
someone more experienced in corporate law my ex said to me when I told her but
I refused I wanted her to represent me because I figured she was the only one
who could do that for the price I was bringing to the table plus I trusted the
man I'd met and didn't think there was much to be done he was after all going
to come with the money so if anyone had caused to lawyer up well it was him my
ex agreed and we showed up in his home a
month later to pick up the agreement the arrangement was for her to read through
the documents so we could talk about it later the next day she was at my house
and the first thing she said when she saw me was you cannot accept the terms
in that contract what the rich duded told me was that he was going to invest
in my ideas the idea he passed was that he would be a silent investor of sorts
and that I would make him money the contract however seemed like an employer
employee contract he was going to start a business built from my ideas and then
employ me to work for his business I was very upset when my lawyer explained it
to me I told her we were going to turn him down and she agreed but later that
night I started to wonder if that was a good idea there was someone who had my
ideas and the money to make more money for my ideas if I turned down his offer
and walked away he could still start the
business without me he already knew what the plan was and could do it all on his
own or employ people to execute the plan for him we also didn't have a contract
or anything of the sort when I shared my plans with him I depended solely on his
Goodwill and hoped he wouldn't betray me
the next morning I told my ex that I was going to see see him about the contract
in person I just believe that if we left out the lawyers and made things very
personal you would be more willing to review the contract when I met with him
I expressed how I felt and told him I was upset when my lawyer showed me the
contract we didn't agree on an employer employee business Arrangement when we
met he first apologized and implored me to calm down he then said that his
lawyers thought it was a good way to protect himself and his money if we had
an employer employee contract rather than a business partner contract he
pointed out that he was taking a loan from his father to start the business
and he could not afford to fail and embarrass his father he then assured me
that the employer employee thing was just on paper I had all the brilliant
ideas and would be the brain behind the company he would just be in the
background making sure everything was running well he promised that I'd have a
healthy degree of control of the business and even said I could buy him
out if the business grows and can afford to pay him off again I thought it was a
good deal so we shook hands on it the next morning I told my lawyer that he'd
given me his word and explained how things were going to work to her she was
skeptical and asked me to think about it
again after convincing her that he was a good person and that he'd never do
anything that would jeopardize my trust in him she agreed and we decided to
accept and sign the contract the contract came with a 10-year non-compete
Clause but that didn't bother me the thing with contracts is that one never
really bothered with these rules because we're certain that we'd never breach
them anyway also I thought it was fair that a non-compete Clause was added to
the agreement it would be unfair to him if we started this business with his
money I made some money and then went on to be his competitor after we had
established the business I found out that my new boss had been very
economical with the truth he was not just the silent investor he had promised
he would be he was fully involved in the business he was my boss I was the brain
behind the business but we used his money and I reported directly to him
when we decided to hire vital staff I assumed I'd be given a degree of
authority in that area but I wasn't I was completely sidelined by my boss for
the first 3 months I wasn't paid I thought it made sense because the
business was still in its growth stage and we did a lot of trial and error that
led to us losing money but my boss was refusing to pay me because he treated me
like a partner in the business now naturally Partners were to Bear losses
and gains so as a partner I shouldn't expect to make money when the business
was still struggling the problem however was that my boss was not treating me
like a partner he was treating me like an employee while refusing to provide
the benefits of being an employee the whole Arrangement just felt like my boss
felt he did me a favor by employing me I ignored many of his condescending
actions until one day he took a decision that I felt I should have been involved
in naturally I shouldn't care because I was an employee not a partner but since
this wasn't our initial agreement I felt sidelined and questioned my boss about
his decision he got so mad that I confronted him I'm not going to lie my
tone was not so pleasant I was mad and I felt and still feel like I had a right
to be he kept taking action after action to show that he did not value me at all
it was as though he was reminding me of my place in the business he was also
taking credit for all my work and Innovations whatever I did he took the
credit as long as it worked out he immediately took the credit his dad
would praise him and so would his brothers he never not even once gave me
credit for all my hard work it was at that point that I understood why my mom
always said that many wealthy people made money through unethical means and
that it was impossible to amass certain kinds of wealth without doing unethical
stuff my boss apologized for yelling at me the previous day and I accepted his
apology but I still planned my resignation I was ready to let it all go
I was still thinking hard about my decision when my boss employed someone
to film my role that man employed someone to be the company's director at
a time when I was the director he then called me privately to his office and he
told me something about me reporting directly to the new director instead of
him in other words the new director was to be my new boss I typed my 14-day
notice that evening printed it and sent it to my boss's desk the next morning
when my boss found out that I'd sent in a notice what he did was
unbelievable my ex had predicted that he'd make a better offer anything to
keep me around well my former boss didn't do that he sent me a counter
letter threatening me attached that letter was a copy of our initial
contract reading that contract all over made me very sick I felt stupid for or
even agreeing to all the ridiculous terms in the first place I realized how
much my desperation had cost me I was so
mad that I texted my ex because I needed to talk to her about ways to get around
the non-compete Clause after talking about it in person the week after I
decided on the best way to get revenge against my boss the agreement was that I
could not start a business of the same type as my boss I could never be his
competitor but the agreement did not say that I could not work for another
competitor I then decided to sell my ideas to someone else in less than two
months I met with someone who also had the money and was interested in my ideas
this time I elected to be an actual employee I negotiated for the position
of director and my new employer put me in charge I was never treated like a
partner but I got all the benefits of a senior employee my new boss respected my
contributions to his business and I was fully conf compensated for my brain work
my old boss tried to sue my new boss but after two attempts by the lawyers on
both sides to have an outof Court settlement they gave up knowing that
they had no case my new boss's business flourished and for good reason he had me
on his team and I was great at coming up with fresh ideas my old boss packed up
his business and ventured into a new one
when the competition became too much for him to handle he was never passionate
about the business he just wanted to make some good money and have something
to his name like his dad and brothers not surprising that somebody that's even
just starting to try to find some kind of business with his money in the world
is still going to be absolutely greed seeking I guess this just goes to show
if you're going to be involved in corporate facing stuff probably should
hire a lawyer that is more involved and knowledgeable in corporate law but also
more importantly if your lawyer says I do not think you should sign that you
probably should value that a lot more our next story is I destroyed my rival's
career after she stole my ideas okay so I destroyed my rival's career that has
got to be classified as bad business ethics but wait till you discover
exactly why I did that you might be saying who doesn't get their idea stolen
once in a while this is worse imagine working so hard to be original in some
lying stealing entitled person steals your ideas and then flaunts it in your
face that's my story hi I'm Jasmine 23-year-old female and as long as I can
remember I have been obsessed with art it quickly became evident to my parents
that I was going through a phase and I didn't just Doodle for fun when I was
around 5 years old not to brag but by the time I was five I didn't have
trouble drawing both eyes to look the same way artists would get how tough the
struggle is you draw one eye and you think it's the best thing you've ever
done then you begin to draw the second eye and you end up with a lady that has
the eye of Godzilla not me though it didn't take me long to figure it out or
maybe I'm just that good thankfully my parents are not the type to think you
cannot make a career out of being an artist or painting or maybe they just
had enough faith in me to believe that my talent was something that could be
nurtured into a beautiful thing and they
did everything they could to make sure I did well with it it was a win for me
because art is pretty much my life I grew up in a small town and soon people
knew that I could draw so well that it only took me an hour to draw full almost
realistic portrait of them so if you're ever in my town at least a few homes
will have something signed Jazz M my parents entered me in a few competitions
and it was amazing experiences but nothing big enough to make me famous I
went on to study art in school now I didn't go to the Art Institute of
Chicago because my parents couldn't afford the money so I got a degree in
Fine Arts at a community college while teaching myself to be better I would
sometimes post my Works online and many would Marvel at my talent but it wasn't
enough to make me famous maybe that was my undoing I sold a few pieces here in
there to keep the bills paid especially after I moved to Chicago when I turned
20 I lived an okay life for a 20-year-old I knew it was going to be
better since I wasn't depending on my talent alone I was working hard too and
I thought everyone appreciated that as well I was so wrong I thought only
famous people were victims of copyright theft what people don't tell you is that
some famous people steal your works and that's exactly what happened with Olivia
I discovered her account when a friend advised me to get into posting my works
and processes online I was amazed at her follower count when I saw she had more
than 700,000 followers on Instagram I was barely pushing a thousand and I was
okay with it but I kept on posting my works and soon more and more people
began to see my work I didn't go back to Olivia's page as much anymore because
commissions began to pile up until one day I posted a compilation of art pieces
I'd done for a few months and the first 10 comments were people accusing me of
stealing someone else's works I was shocked to the Bone I've never even
attempted to recreate anyone else's work since I started painting I didn't know
where this came from until I started seeing more people say I was stealing
Olivia's work so I went to Olivia's page and found out that she had been posting
replicas of my pieces that wasn't all she would even make sure to caption the
pictures she posted original Piece By Me original piece by who I was livid and
shaking so bad that I broke down in tears how could she claim she made these
pieces these were drawings and paintings that took me hours days and even weeks
to finish some of them was it because I wasn't famous I was so sad and felt
extremely cheated out of what should have been mine when I say what should
have been mine I I mean the fact that Olivia had entered a few competitions
with my original pieces and won all but one one of them even awarded a whopping
$110,000 as cash price what is funny is that I entered into the same
competitions and kept getting disqualified for reasons I didn't know I
just thought that I didn't make the short list or that I didn't follow the
guidelines to apply correctly that was until I found out the reason I was being
disqualified because the pieces I ENT were considered plagiarism and then I
was angry with the Committees in charge of these contests why did they assume my
work was the plagiarized one instead of Olivia's I wondered why they didn't
reach out to me to ask for proof of ownership or to compare they just
assumed that Olivia was a big shot and there was no way that she could have
stolen someone else's work I was so dejected that I immediately sent a
message to Olivia on Instagram I asked her why she stole my works and my ideas
and passed them off as her own I was very angry in the message depicted that
I waited for a reply but I didn't get one until I fell asleep I was tired from
crying I woke up in the morning with a headache and a message that sent me into
a destructive pattern the text was from Olivia and it read are you really
accusing me of stealing your little ideas you are in over your head it is
quite hilarious to see that you're trying to bring me down with your stupid
lies I'm not worried you're not in my league never will be because you are
nowhere as talented or famous as I am and besides even if I did borrow your
ideas they weren't even that good to begin with who's to say my genius self
didn't make them better so shut up lay low and I won't drag you for Filth bye
loser it was at this moment I knew I was going to take matters into my own hands
so I came up with a plan after hours of deliberation the first thing I did was
to compare the period in which the works were posted then I called my Arts
professor at the college I graduated from and explained everything that had
been going on luckily I was his best student so he was ready to help me with
my plan you're asking what plan a fake Arts exhibition my Arts professor and a
few of his friends in the field after listening to my story agreed to help me
out so there was going to be an Arts Exhibition at my community college and
the plan was to invite Olivia as the guest of honor to exhibit her own pieces
as well she was required to bring six Works which were within the time frame
of six months the requirement was so that she only brought my works and
nothing else a smarter person would have discovered the ruse but not Olivia
definitely thankful for that then I was going to bring the originals as well and
set them up side by side with my stolen ideas and expose Olivia the day finally
came and many people turned up my old classmates were excited to see my works
again and came from all over to too my professor also got some influential
critics and collectors to come to the exhibition as well and so the day was
here I waited in the back room until Olivia set up her stolen replicas and
then set up mine it didn't take long before people started noticing that
something was wrong the pieces looked too similar you could almost think that
they were copies then the murmur started intensifying Olivia noticed from where
she was talking to another artist and walked back up to the front of the hall
she saw what was going on and all the color immediately drained from her face
she started to yell to my disgust you Thief how dare you steal my work I'll
have you soon I didn't believe that she could still have so much audacity after
stealing from me I remained calm amidst the murmurs and Olivia's shouting my art
Professor then asked if he could have everyone's attention Jasmine has
something she would like to show you all so if you could please turn your
attention to the projector up there that was my cue to talk I walked up to
the laptop we had set on the table and opened up the text message Olivia sent
to me I told everyone to read through the conversation from my Angry message
to her rude response the first thing people noticed was that I was the one
that texted her first one of my old classmates who was standing at the back
of the hall said that makes sense Jasmine's always been original in
everything she does a few others that knew me agreed as well Olivia started
saying the messages were edited and she never wrote anything like that I wasn't
bothered by her constant denial and walked where my Works were and the ones
Olivia stole I told the crowd to gather and showed my final card remember how I
said I always signed my drawings and paintings with the name Jazz M what I
didn't mention was that I did it in the most creative ways I would draw it into
the fires if I was drawing a fireplace and I would paint a flower to write jazz
M around the edges those were my unique signings it became a game for the people
who knew this to try and figure where exactly I signed except Olivia didn't
know this this was my Saving Grace I began to point out my signatures in the
original paintings and surely enough they were in the replicas as well I
discovered that she had just copied my Works line by line and Stroke by stroke
I started pointing out that there was no way that she could have added Jaz as M
to her works when her own signature was just Olivia you didn't have to be there
to know that everyone was shocked that a big shot like Olivia could be stealing
from me by that time Olivia knew the game was up she confessed that she
started taking my ideas and replicating my pieces after someone told her that
her Recreation of one of my older Works was really good she had sold the piece
for a lot of money and thought she could just continue doing the same I felt
extremely cheated but Olivia didn't even think to apologize she just kept on
saying I had ruined her career I felt completely Justified and told her she
deserved it as she stormed out of the building some of my old classmates
carried the stolen pieces and took them to the dumpster while the critics and
collectors began to tell me how much they loved my pieces even though the
exhibition was supposed to be fake I sold all my pieces that day for the
highest prices I'd ever been offered since I started painting I got a lot of
commissions that day as well and it's safe to say that it was the happiest day
of my life that night I went online to see that people that attended the
exhibition had posted the whole ordeal online Olivia was exposed online and she
lost more than a half of her followers a lot of people she sold my Works to
demanded refunds as well I started to get recognition for my own works and it
paid off eventually I ran into Olivia a few months after where she was live
painting on the street in order to get people to know her real skills b s she
looked at peace with what she was doing but I didn't talk to her I wasn't
bothered by the fact that she never apologized because all my hard work paid
off safe to say she wouldn't be stealing
from anyone again shoot for all you know she's just going to start stealing from
archives of somebody that isn't around anymore these days with like reverse
image search it's just a matter of time right either way I'm sure there's a
number of people Beyond just me that hears the story and is like it was cool
and fun how they got the revenge but why didn't they just go the legal route
especially when they were selling these pieces I mean it's nice to get the
recognition and all and kind of jumpstart your career but wouldn't have
reclaiming some of that money been even better but with that being said that's
all the time we have for today now if you want to hear another absolutely

girlfriend is angry I left her during our anniversary trip because of her
friends my GF Sarah 29 and I male 28 have been dating for 5 years and I
wanted to go on a vacation with her to celebrate I planned the trip for several
months of course I shared my plans with her and decided on skiing snowboarding
other winter activities in Co the activi
seemed perfect and I was looking forward to this for months because I wanted to
propose to her at the end of the trip 5 days before the trip Sarah dropped the
ball on me that she invited two of her friends to meet her there I was upset
because I wanted to spend one one time with Sarah for our anniversary I feel
like it was plain and clear that this was a trip for justice even though I
expressed my concerns Sarah insisted that her friends already made plans to
come and won't back out I decided to accept this because there was no way for
me to force her friends to not come I wish I fought more on this I figured we
could make some changes to our plans and I would still be able to propose to her
privately Sarah essentially blew me off for her friends and we didn't get any
private time after 3 days of being in second place I decided to leave the trip
and head home I told Sarah why I was leaving and she was up said she told her
friends about my decision and I was ganged up on they said we were all
having a great time she thinks I'm being a jerk for making her pick between her
friends and me even though her friends weren't invited in the first place I
never had personal issues with her friends prior to this trip I never made
Sarah pick between me or her friends because everyone needs friends outside
of a relationship I'm at home now and thinking about everything I have a day
to myself before Sarah comes home so at least I get to relax a bit Sarah and her
friends think I'm overreacting and think I ruined the trip I think Sarah was
disrespectful and rude to me by ruining the the purpose of this trip and having
her friends gang up on me am I the jerk for leaving a vacation I planned for my
GF after her friends came along edit this was a planned anniversaryromantic
trip I was clear that we have plans for just us two we've been on other
anniversary trips together without her friends there we did discuss marriage
beforehand so it's not like a proposal wouldn't been out of the blue more info
we talked about our potential future together after being together for 2
years so 3 years ago we both wanted to get married travel Etc we moved in
together 1.5 years years ago because we both believe that you need to live
together before marriage to see how the other person lives and to see if you are
compatible now this was a planned anniversaryromantic trip so the nature
of it was plain and clear we've been on other trips for our anniversary when her
friend showed up I was direct with her that I didn't want her friends coming
and I was direct regarding my reasons for leaving I didn't tell her I was
going to propose we have discussed marriage before and we both agreed to
not want a big proposal so it wouldn't have been a complete surprise to her
maybe I messed up because I didn't want to tell her friends the news before I
asked Sarah to marry me I wish that I contacted her friends privately about my
reasons for not wanting them to hang out with us that was dumb on my part but
still they had to know it was an anniversaryromantic trip although I
don't know everything that she tells her
friends I'm hoping that she doesn't tell them everything because they don't need
to know every detail about me/ my secrets I wish there was more balance
between me and her friends during the time I was with them on this trip I
would say half the activities involved all four of us and the other half
involved the three of them I could have followed them around but that's a shitty
situation and it's not fun and it's not like I hate her friends it's just that I
don't want to spend all my free time with her friends I've never demanded or
expected her to pick me over her friends because that's unhealthy and
unreasonable but she has canceled on me in the past multiple times in favor of
her friends in terms of past disagreements she has rarely involved
them we are able to settle disagreements
between us most of the time like 98% the other 2% she has involved her friends
maybe she invited her friends because she doesn't want me to propose and I
understand cold feet but the least she could have done was talk to me I would
hate to make other big decisions with her and her being too much of a coward
to talk to to me like an adult and later change her mind I can't force her to
marry me I just wish she actually talked
to me about her fears if she had any now that I'm home having this alone time is
important to me having alone time is critical to gather my thoughts and
sorting my emotions I didn't want to potentially blow up at her on our way
home so far she has tried to call me twice but I rejected her call the only
thing I told her before I left was we will we talk about this when you return
these types of conversations need to happen in person anyways I'm thinking I
deserve better I guess we'll find out what happens when when she returns home
tomorrow minor update my friends are here at the house and they have been
running potential interference just in case her friends try to bombard and
harass me they've been great and I'm so glad to have them minor update number
two none of Sarah's friends came by the house or harassed me yesterday SL last
night which is good Sarah hasn't come home yet I figured out what I want to
say and have it written out update am I the jerk for leaving a vacation I
planned for my GF after her friends came along I decided that I wanted to end
this entire relationship I packed my important belongings X passport clothes
and arranged with my best friend to crash at his apartment until I can find
my own usually when small issues happen in a relationship it ties into a bigger
issue of that relationship the main reason why I decided to break up is
because I realize that her friends will always be closer to her than me Sarah
has favored her friends over me and blown off some of our plans for her
friends more than once I was lying to myself for years because I didn't want
to face reality yet I had hoped she would change but this trip really opened
my eyes that I will always be in third place to her dot I expressed my feelings
multiple times and Sarah promised she would change and she didn't Sarah came
home late yesterday I said I have a lot to get off my chest and I want to get
through my notes before she talks or tries to interrupt me the first question
I asked Sarah was how she thought the trip went she said we all had fun and it
was memorable I shouldn't have to feel like the third will in my own
relationship especially on a trip that I
planned my next question was why did you invite your friends in the first place
you knew this was an anniversary trip for us she talked about the trip with
her friends since the beginning and they
never been to co she thought it would be a good idea to allow them to come just
so they can have fun in Co with us I followed up with my lack of knowledge of
her friends coming along until days before it's one thing if they came and
did their own activities but it's another thing that every activity became
a group activity I signed up for a monogamous not poly relationship my last
question was did you know that I was going to propose to you Sarah said she
didn't know at all the thought never occurred to Sarah that I was going to
ask she claimed that she wouldn't have invited her friends to come along if she
knew but I responded that it would ruin the surprise if I told you Sarah begged
me to stay with her and believes we can work everything out she didn't want me
to throw 5 years away after this one bad trip I listened to her promises to
change for years regarding her friends but nothing happened I ultimately left
Sarah with this it's clear that there isn't enough room in your heart for your
BF and your friends as much as I love Sarah I can't stay in a relationship
where I'm not respected enough I left Sarah in the house by herself and I
drove off to my friend's place I'll figure out how to get my name off the
lease and I'll plan to get the rest of my belongings as for the ring I will
return it this weekend extended from op's comments part of the reason why she
stayed back was that I said I wanted to go home alone and think I know that
couples shouldn't storm off after a fight but it was kind of important to
separate for a bit to gather my thoughts also she didn't ask me if I was still
going to propose she got upset hearing that I was about two but didn't ask the
fairy tale side of me wishes that it all could have magically been better some
stuff can be fixed but I didn't see any progress on sarahm to fix things I said
I'll text her when I'm ready to get my things I have her blocked I believe that
people shouldn't put their friends before their long-term Partners you can
have both but the love between friends and a partner needs to be evenly matched
it would have been terrible of me to make her pick between me and her friends
because everyone needs friends and relationships outside of the Romantic
partner but not prioritizing the partner
isn't good at all at this point I rather being single and happy than be in a
relationship and not feel respected and loved I have to say that tons of people
in this comment section and in my private messages essentially told me to
give this relationship another chance because we spent so many years together
and we wanted to get married these people are playing right into the time
sunk fallacy and I think it's because they're afraid of being single so they
often put up with a subpar partner that doesn't fully respect SL love them they
are too hopeful that their partner will change so they wait forever until their
dreams come true I think more people need to learn how to be single if I find
someone I truly love when I'm 60 and get married at that age then so be it final
update hello everyone I got my stuff this past weekend for my house I'm glad
I didn't have much stuff or more heavy items Sarah and I talked a lot about our
relationship and what happened during the trip Sarah said she is going to see
a therapist and wanted to become a better GF in the future I'm not opposed
to getting back together years down the road but I have zero intentions of being
those people that are constantly on and off if life does bring us back together
then so be it people that do get back together need to spend months SL even
years apart to actually grow and change I didn't make any promises to Sarah
about the possibility of getting back together because Sarah should change for
herself and not me | give me a good story on GirlfriendIsAngryILeftHerDuringOurAnniversaryTripBecauseOfHerFriends |

I 27m broke up with my fiance 27f after she asked for open merit how do I get
her and our families to leave me alone at 27m have been with my fiance 27f for
5 years we had many things in common and I really loved her I proposed to her 10
months ago she accepted our families were excited for it there been a real
help with the planning and the financial
input I'm not much of a planner but even
I got caught up with the preparation but
then the conversation as the tile States
took place that made me break up with my fiance and it's caused an upo and both
our families and mutual friends we were having dinner and I asked her if her
uncle has gotten back to her about officiating our wedding she just looked
at me with this weird look on her face and then she asked what did I think
about open marriage I was surprised call me old school on this mindset but I
believe when you're going to marry a person you are committing to that person
for life and that there nobody else in that marriage but you and that person I
told her exactly this and she said we were still young and she loves me and
wants to marry me and eventually have children but she hasn't had much
experience before our relationship I asked her what is wrong with that but
she spoke right over me and said she just wondered if I would consider an
open marriage I said no I just told you how I felt about it and got up to leave
and she said you haven't even given it a
chance you might change your mind I just looked at her and everything I felt for
her just died in that very moment I told her if that's what she wants then she's
more than welcome to go do that with someone else because me and her were
over she tried to backtrack and say it was just a suggestion and she didn't
actually mean it but I didn't want to hear it I went into our spare room and
locked the door she tried opening the door and crying and saying she was sorry
and she didn't mean it I just cried she eventually stopped knocking I eventually
fell asleep next morning I went to work and told her friend what happened and
asked if I could stay with him he agreed so the same day I moved out she was at
work when I moved out and she eventually came home and found my stuff gone and
she blew up my phone I answered the call
and she was crying and saying what was I doing I told her that last night I was
serious | give me a good story on IbrokeupwithmyfianceeaftersheaskedforaopenmarriageHowdoIgetherandredditstories |

welcome to the story time channel my name is steven and we have some pro
revenge stories our first story of the day is by spongebob no pants
live in a rental for over a year without paying rent
good luck in jail last summer i bought a
house trailer and decided to rent it out it needed some work so i posted two
months free rent for putting carpet down in the living room
hooking up the hot water heater and putting in a toilet got a nice couple
with a newborn willing to do it great no lease month to month no
security deposit and the rent was 450 a month
so they did the work so i didn't ask for rent for two months
everything was fine side note there are a few little state laws that come into
play if you don't pay rent for three consecutive months you are considered a
squatter which means the landlord doesn't have to
fix the property and can actually padlock it and deny you
entry if you're on house arrest and get formally evicted
you could be violated for it also you can be formally evicted even if you have
already moved out so the landlord can get rent due
also even though there are eviction bans if it happened before the ban then it
can still go through plus a few other conditions that still
allow someone to be evicted it's up to the judge really fast forward five
months and still no rent money yes they had a newborn and they were
young and didn't have a lot of money but the husband can spend fifteen
hundred dollars on a new engine for his project car
they can afford to go out to eat and spend money on electronics but no rent
so after the third month i did nothing the weather was turning cold
i didn't put in the furnace like i promised and if they hadn't had a
newborn i would have padlocked the house they were bragging about their tax
refund i gave them a shot to catch up and they basically said they knew their
rights and were in a wrench strike illegally i might add you will see later
cove it happened husband got laid off so i gave them a break
when he went back to work i asked for back rent again and was told to freak off
i finally had enough i told them they had 14 days to get out or i was doing a
formal eviction and seeing he was on house arrest
he knew what that meant i honestly was trying to keep him from having to go
back to jail and keep an eviction off of their record
i was trying to be nice and civil so they left and i cut my losses
until i checked my property everything they put in
they removed everything they got free rent for was gone
i got pissed and filed for a formal eviction
it didn't go as they hoped they said i didn't provide heat so they went on a
wrench strike only they didn't file that with the courts or hold the money aside
they just thought they could stop paying rent what they put into the trailer was
less than the rent the judge agreed with me that seeing they took everything
i was due those two months rent and the biggest he started slamming my
character so i said well you didn't tell me that you were
going to be on house arrest when you rented the property
before then the judge looked bored but he perked up
he asked them if that was true they responded that it was and he was ready
to make his ruling i received 15 months back rent at 450 dollars a month and two
thousand dollars in damages because the way they removed the stuff
they damaged a lot of things as for him the judge said he had no choice but to
turn the eviction over to his parole officer fast forward to this month his
house arrest was violated and he was arrested they
actually had the nerve to ask me to speak on his behalf
i didn't ruling was his remaining six months are now spent in jail
they have a bad eviction on their record and they owe me money
know the law before you play the game so if you were renting a place
and the first two months were free if they did these installations and they did
but then the third month went by and they didn't pay you
but you do know that it's getting cold they have a newborn and you didn't put
in any of the extra stuff you promised because they didn't pay
would you have been a little bit more pushy about getting that money or would
you have done the same thing op did and eventually lead to this five six
plus month ordeal let me know in the comments down below
our next story is by electro bonus i'm not gonna pay for your comfort this
happened last month by some universal coincidences
me and my girlfriend ended up living with another couple in a rented house to
split costs it was a big house so each couple would have their own bathroom
bedroom and we shared the common places like the kitchen
and the living room the house was originally rented by a co-worker who by
the time of this story was no longer in the house anymore but
all the furniture was his and he gifted it all to me when he left
the other couple was really annoying they would leave their dirty dishes in
the sink with rotten food and only wash them until the weekend
or leaving their dog to poop all over the house
one time the guy was cooking in a torn out shorts and his underwear was very
visible this was really uncomfortable to my girl
anytime i talked to them about all the issues that bothered us
they used to change their habits for a few days and then it was all the same
but the house was rented and they arrived first so i wasn't
able to kick them out and if i tried i was afraid of the guy since he was a bad
tempered a-hole the last straw was this summer it was really hot and these
jerks like the ac at full blast day and night even when they weren't home
and if i turned it off they would get mad and immediately turn
it on after telling me how they could not sleep without the ac
at max okay i did my best to wear a hoodie and sleep with my winter clothes
in the middle of the freaking summer inside the house just so they would be
comfortable and for the sake of saving a few bucks in rent money
and of course the inevitable happened the electric bill came in
and it was four times higher than the usual and
it was a lot so i talked to them about how their use of the electricity was
out of control and why we should split the bill 2575
since me and my girl are almost never home
it turned into a huge fight and his only argument was that we all used the
electricity so we should all pay the same he wouldn't listen to my
arguments and there was nothing i could do
i ended up paying the same amount after this jerk and his girlfriend made me pay
for their comfort they started doing a lot of passive
aggressive stuff like throwing out my unspoiled food while they would leave
their rotten food on my fridge or using their tv at the highest volume
while i tried to sleep i get up really early to exercise before
work so i go to sleep really early and a lot of things like that in a very
childish manner in addition of still leaving on every
kind of electrical device in the house while they were out
then i knew i had to get out of that house there was
no money saving anymore due to the high costs of the bills
so me and my girlfriend started to look for a place for only the two of us
and our two rescued dogs we found an affordable and comfortable house with
plenty of room for our dogs so we pulled the trigger we talked to
the owner of the previous house about us leaving and he had no problem at
all so it was all set we waited until the other couple were out of town for
the weekend and took every last thing we owned out of that house
and moved out i left them without any furniture
i mean no stove no microwave not even a table to
eat in i left my keys at the entrance of their bedroom door and a note that said
we couldn't bear your attitudes anymore so we left with our belongings have a
nice life wasting your own money o.p the owner of the house which became
a very good friend of mine later told me that they told him how i took out
all of their belongings he knew that they were mine
and told them i wish i was there to look at their faces
have fun eating fast food on the floor a-holes
these people kind of checked off all of the boxes on
bad roommate material it's only fitting that at the very end they basically took
everything out of there that they were allowing them to use
and left them with basically nothing to wallow in their
filth in their just bad ways i'm sure the couple didn't stay there very
long after they had to shoulder that entire ac bill which is ridiculous
our next story is by max titanium sharing is caring
and karen ain't caring one day i was walking through city market with my mom
the quiet buzzing of the lights only slightly annoying all seemed well
and i decided to get one of the sample cookies from the back
seems perfectly normal right so i grabbed my cookie
which happened to be the last non-burnt one as another family is coming into the
back aisle i'm not a particularly social person so i started to walk away
this family consisted of a mother and son the son being maybe five or six
years old by my estimates wearing a vibrant and disgusting shade of yellow
the mom had a typical karen haircut and a bland red colored sweater on over a
bright white shirt and brand new looking skinny jeans
that didn't sound like a good time to me they realize that there aren't any more
non-burnt cookies which in my opinion shouldn't be a problem cookies are cookies
especially free ones the child wails horrifically and notices that my cookie
that i haven't yet taken a bite out of wasn't burnt wonderful observation skills
little timmy the mom approaches me and asks in a sickly sweet tone
one you can tell is obviously faked if i
would mind giving my cookie to her kid i wasn't sure if the tone was from her
having a headache from dealing with her kid or if she wasn't a nice person but
seeing as the kid was young i chose to be nice and broke my cookie in half
offering one of the halves to the kid because i wasn't about to miss out on
eating my cookie nor was i about to go grab another one
as i felt it would just be rude to the next people
the kid looked confused at this which immediately felt
off the mom's face contorted from nice to confused to offended very quickly
as if not offering the entire cookie had somehow forsaken her entire family
and she stared at me like i was going to sacrifice a goat in order to curse them
i naturally was confused and realizing what was happening
a bit too late backed away and tried walking away
the lady placed her hand on my shoulder preventing me from walking away
i was maybe 12 at the time so i was a small boy
she held out her other hand as if expecting me to just hand my cookie away
let me once again state that i had tried to share
but karen and her little hex spawn don't seem to understand the concept of
sharing evident by the atrocious wailing the child was releasing
from the depths of the underworld itself i hate the sounds of children crying i
managed to pull away from the iron grasp from this lady
and speed walked away the guttural ree released from both her and her entitled
child gave me the chills and she marched up to me and tried to
take the cookie from me before she could a light bulb flickered on before
bursting in my head from the excitement to see the next levels of rage and
profanities my plan was about to induce i stuffed the entire cookie in my mouth
now these cookies were fairly big bigger than the basic sugar cookies they
usually give so my mouth was stuffed for a moment
karen and her child are silent stunned at what they had just witnessed
10 seconds later the gates of hakka ripped from their hinges karen exploded
at me screeching profanities at me many of which i surprisingly hadn't
heard before i stood there the smuggest grin on my
little face as i slowly chewed on the cookie continuing to rub salt in the wound
until the profanities turned into indiscernible noises was it wrong of me
to do so probably do i regret doing so absolutely not
after maybe three minutes of random sounds ejecting from the deep
dark chasm this woman produced she stopped to take a breath
i had swallowed the cookie by now and was getting tired of listening to the
white noise this lady was projecting so i began to walk away i'm not done
with you she yelled after me obviously i chose to ignore her at this point as
i was just done with her as soon as i was out of the aisle
i booked it back to my mom and continued on like nothing happened
so op said in this story was it wrong of me to do so
i don't think it's wrong of op at all to eat the cookie like that
they got the cookie they were there first it was kind of them to even offer
the half of it it was all entitlement from the other people and
op learned something today some new curse words
and our final story of the day is by reckless raven 3
who has the stuffed shells a few years ago i received wic
checks for my children not sure if it varies by state but in my state
each check is one transaction so essentially you can have five or six
transactions while using them so i go to shop right
it's evening and very busy i wait on a line of four people
finally my turn comes and it was taking a while i had four or five checks can't
remember so some rude lady starts berating me she's two people behind me
she goes on and on saying how it's rude that i didn't tell her that i had
all different transactions loudly mind you
also please keep in mind that every line was long
so i tell her to mind her business and wait her turn
like an adult she keeps going so badly her husband walks outside
so here's for the revenge i worked at a local pizza restaurant at the time
one evening shortly after this incident that a lady comes in with a large group
that happens to be one of my regulars i wasn't waiting on them but i know
she recognized me i saw her whispering to my regular and looking at me
i know she was telling her about the shoprite line situation
so i told the server she had to let me know when the food was coming out
and asked the server what she ordered and i told the server
the whole story and she agreed to let me
serve her food now please note i did not mess with her food
but the look on her face as i walked to the table with the food
was priceless even better as i said who had the stuffed shells and i
placed that dish in front of her and she looked horrified
i didn't mess with her food but all she thought i did she barely ate her meal
you gotta love it when it's shocked up to them only being able to speculate what
might have happened and they can't call you out on it because it's ridiculous to
assume that they would mess with your food i mean they can but it will cause a
whole scene and it will lead to nowhere because obviously
op didn't it was all intimidation and it worked out
beautifully but with that being said that's all the time we have for today

my 30f husband 32m won't stop calling me a poop monster because I had bowel
issues postpartum advice hello all my husband 32m and I 30f have been married
for 3 years I have a 6-month-old baby when I was newly postpartum I suffered
from diarrhea constipation and other stomach issues on top of my IBS I always
had also passing regular bowels was extremely painful to me after vaginal
birth because I suffered from tears down there and I had to immerse my body body
in warm salt water to do the deed in the tub I'm sorry this is gross but it was
just as bad for me on top of the pain at first my husband was repulsed by it but
he was supportive all round he didn't shower in that bath and used the second
bathroom downstairs to do so at first it was hurtful because I used to sanitize
the tub after every use even though bending down to clean it hurt like a
but I understood my condition improved after a few weeks and
I was able to use the toilet seat my husband hired some cleaners I did not
know this the week I Stay at my mom's place with our baby and had the cleaners
bleach and sanitize the entire bathroom I bit my tongue at the time although I
wanted to have a hormonal meltdown over him for doing that he started using the
bathroom again ta I was upset that he didn't tell me what exactly he wanted to
feel more comfortable again I wouldn't have any issues if he wanted it cleaned
more thoroughly However the fact is him not using the bathroom at all made me
feel like I am some disgusting Pig the least I was expecting was a little
consideration also he didn't need to get it professionally cleaned we have a lot
of expenses already and the money could have been spent elsewhere I would have
been more than happy to bleach it myself
he spent like $300 for it from our joint account and didn't even bother telling
me so now like any other baby one day a few months ago she pooped in her diaper
that my husband recently put her in we both were laughing as I was fetching him
one and he went she probably took that from you I was confused and asked him
what he meant he laughing cried said that our baby is as bad of a poop
monster as her mother is I was extremely embarrassed and mortified from his
remark as he was referencing the time it was painful for me to pass bowels at
first I ignored it but then he started using the term poop monster as a term of
endearment for me which I don't think should be a term of endearment at all
all it does is make me feel gross about it on top of my already momod which I
want to get rid of naturally I do have body image issues however my husband's
remarks makes me feel extremely unattractive and hurts my self-esteem
when I brought it up to him he simply waved his hands and told me not to take
it personally I've told him several times not to call me that but he doesn't
understand that this hurts me a lot yet he continues calling me a poop monster
tldr my husband used to be supportive during my postpartum struggles but now
he calls me a poop monster as a term of endearment referring to a painful time
when I had stomach issues and tears from childbirth it's hurtful and makes me
feel unattractive when I brought it up he dismissed it | give me a good story on MyFHusbandMWontStopCallingMeAPoopMonsterBecauseIHadBowelIssuesPostorig |

BFF broke my trust by getting pregnant with my husband while he cheated and
then my own mother tried to convince me to give them full custody of my kids my
husband Dev and I have been dating since I was 21 and he was 23 we were a thing
for nearly 2 years before he proposed to me we have been married for the last 12
years and have two kids together during our second year of dating Dev introduced
me to his mother mallerie I liked her from the first meeting and tried my best
to impress her but unfortunately the feeling wasn't Mutual you see mallerie
had been a widow for a long time since her husband passed pass away from a
heart attack years ago she has raised Dev alone so they are obviously really
close you can say that he is a bit of a mama's boy and was nervous about letting
me meet his mother he has always desperately wanted her approval in
everything he does the main reason mallerie has never liked me is because I
come from an upper middle- class family with parents who own multiple businesses
growing up I had quite a comfortable life although my parents supported me by
covering my college expenses and buying me my first car so I could get to work
on time they also instilled the value of being independent and finding my own
footing in life I've always worked hard to support myself and never asked my
parents for any financial help after I graduated college contrary to my life my
husband had a more difficult life his father worked in the military so he was
seldom present in his life and after his father passed away he and mallerie were
joined at the hips mallerie was an alcoholic sodev from a very young age
had to take care of his mom he started working at McDonald's very young as a
part-time job to earn extra money when he was in college he had to drop out
because he didn't like pursuing his communications degree anymore he has
told me how un happy he was during this time being a College Dropout it was very
difficult for him to find a job which is why he started to look for easy options
that would not require a degree he started working as a freelance writer
and surprisingly was able to do quite well for himself he loved traveling and
was a digital Nomad for a few years before finally meeting me and settling
down throughout all this his mother would ask him to send her monthly
allowance which he willingly provided despite the strain it placed on his
finances when our relationship started getting more and more serious I finally
decided to tell him about my family and our generation wealth he did not believe
me but was shocked after he Googled my family Dev got pissed at me that I'd
been hiding it for so long and accused me of not trusting him I tried to
clarify to him that a lot of people in my past wanted to be with me because of
my family which is why I had learned to wait before revealing my generational
wealth he understood and was mostly fine
with it but occasionally he would taught
me about how I never have to try so hard
or how I will never know how it feels to work hard this would really offend me
because despite what my parents had offered me in life I did work hard to
establish myself in my field I loved man Ing influencers and Brands and this is
how I funded my entire lifestyle without needing my parents help Dev never
understood this and this should have been my first red flag when we decided
to move in with each other Deb was quick to say that he should move in with me
since I had a bigger place I agreed and then started discussing how we would be
splitting rent but devb didn't like that he started telling me how he earned so
little as a freelance writer and that because I come from old money I should
prove my love for him by helping him out in this case it would be by paying for
his share of the bills as well as rent I told him that although I didn't think
this was fair I could let him go for the rent but he had to pay his own bills
this made Dev raise his voice on me and he started to go off on a rant about how
I was selfish and that if I didn't agree to pay his bills then it would show how
cruel I was we argued back and forth and I finally caved in I had to cut back on
a lot to pay for all our bills but I was madly in love with him meanwhile Dev
would continue sending his mother monthly allowances and buying her
extravagant gifts through all this whenever I would point out how he had
the money to send to his mother yet he wouldn't pay the bills he would get
angry and tell me how his mother needed the mother more than us and that she was
just a single old parent I would then feel guilty about it so I stopped
bringing this up again altogether when Deb proposed to me for marriage I was
ecstatic to be honest looking back he put the least effort into proposing to
me I thought at least for once he would not be stingy and would go all out for
the proposal but turns out he thought proposing to me in our backyard was a
good idea to his credit he did ask my parents for my hand like a gentleman my
mother who absolutely adored Dev suggested to him that he should get help
from my best friend Kylie to plan the proposal for me he agreed and they both
came up with this genius idea face palm of proposing to me in my backyard in
front of my entire family and friends you see Kylie had been my best friend
since I went to high school her family is like my family and vice versa my mom
and her mom grew up together since their childhood which is how we both became
friends we have always been solid with each other she was like my sister and my
soulmate we have done everything together her mother absolutely adores me
just like my mother loves Kylie like her own daughter when Dev and I started
dating I of course introduced him to Kylie and they became good friends also
so Kylie helped Dev not only plan the proposal but also choose my ring to be
honest I was a bit taken aback by the surprise proposal but seeing how all my
family was gathered there to celebrate my happy day with me made me feel much
better even though I was a bit disappointed about being proposed to in
my backyard my mother Kylie and Kylie's mother were the first ones to hug me and
congratulate me dev's mother mallerie was also happy for us and told me how
she had high expectations for me as a daughter-in-law and that she hoped I
would do everything in my power to keep her son happy that was a happy night for
all of us eventually Dev and I did get married and even after marriage I have
continued to pay for everything around the house while he doesn't spend a penny
on me I continued to pay for our weekly dates or our yearly vacations because
Dev insisted that he was saving up money for our future when I got pregnant with
James our first child I was forced to quit my job since it was a difficult
pregnancy Dev didn't like that when he first found out and started arguing with
me about how I needed to work otherwise we would not have money to sustain
ourselves with a child this made me cry a lot and this is when I opened up to my
parents for the first time about our situ ation while my mother sympathized
with Dev instead of with me telling me how Dev was right and that there are
hundreds of mothers who continue to have
a job while pregnant my dad on the other
hand was pissed he called my dad to give a piece of his mind and told Dev firmly
that it was time for him to be a man and step up for his family he warned Dev
that if he continued to behave this way with me then he would not make his
daughter go through his suffering and it was better for us to get a divorce this
made Dev quite nervous hearing my dad bring up divorce although I never wanted
to divorce my husband he and I had signed a prenup at the insistence of my
father before our marriage which meant he knew that I would no longer be there
to fund his extravagant lifestyle and he would lose this house and his expensive
car which were all under my name so for the first time ever Dev stopped sending
his mother any allowance and started paying all the bills around the house I
did continue to pay the rent since I had more than enough savings because he
stopped sending mallerie any money this made her resent me even more she was
getting to freely sponge off her son and when he stopped giving her any access
she blamed me when I first gave birth to James I was extremely happy everyone
visited me and our brand new baby in the
hospital to congratulate us Kylie stayed
with me at the hospital for days until I could recover and come back home since
Dev was busy with his work and refused to look after me or the baby once I was
back home being a new mother made me quite nervous this is when my parents
and Kylie's mother would help me out as much as they could mallerie on the other
hand would do nothing to help whenever she would come to visit James she would
only remark negatively about me like how
I needed to start losing weight or how I should tend to James as soon as he
started crying her unsolicited comments were always directed at me and never
once at her son who didn't lift a single
finger to help me out after giving birth
to James I found myself overwhelmed with a profound sense of exhaustion and
loneliness that crept in I did not know at that time but I was going through
postpartum depression PPD which a lot of
mothers go through but seldom talk about despite my best efforts to communicate
my needs and share the responsibilities of parenting Dev remained distant and
unwilling to engage in any way he would tell me how it was solely my
responsibility as a mother and that he didn't want to look after a baby since
he had no idea how to do anything as I grappled with the demands of caring for
our new newborn managing household tasks and coping with PPD dev's reluctance to
help out only deepened my sense of Despair he would even refuse to change a
single diaper or feed James with each passing day the weight of my
responsibilities grew heavier and the burden of PPD became increasingly
suffocating despite my attempts to reach out for support I felt as though I was
drowning in a sea of overwhelming expectations and unmet needs this is
when I decided to open up to my parents about my mental health while my dad was
understanding my mother refused to believe that there was anything wrong with me
she told me that PPD was not a thing and that I should be strong enough for my
baby to get through anything when I complained to her about Dev refusing to
help me out she scolded me saying that Deb is the father and I should do a
better job as a mother it hurt that my own parent couldn't see how hard I was
struggling and it felt like I was drowning with my mother's refusal to
believe me dev's lack of effort and my Mill's constant negative taunts I
continued to remain in depression my best friend Kylie on the other hand was
my constant support I would tell her everything about my marriage and she
would sympathize and hear me out she would also tell me how Dev was a shitty
husband and a parent and would get pissed at his Antics it felt good to
know that besides my dad I had Kylie's support as well at such a tough time a
year later to my shock I found out that I was pregnant again this was an
accident because I definitely didn't want another child so soon but I wanted
to trust in God's plan so I decided to go along with it Dev was pissed to say
the least he told me that I needed to abort the pregnancy ASAP since we
couldn't afford another baby this made us argue and in the end I decided that
it was time for me to get back to work I contacted my old boss who was happy to
have me back as a freelancer until a more permanent position would open up
although my second pregnancy was difficult as well I was determined this
time due to my added responsibility as a parent this time when I went back to
work I decided to no longer deposit my entire paycheck in our joint savings
account I wanted to think and be prepared for my future as well as my
kids so I started to keep 50% of my paycheck and only the rest 50% would go
to our joint account once I started earning money Dev would become lazier
every day he suddenly started to complain every day how he disliked his
job and that he wanted to quit it I would try to talk him out of it
reminding him how he doesn't have a college degree so he needed to stick
with this job that paid him so well this would piss him off since he didn't like
to be reminded that he was a College Dropout Dev would tell me how I had
taken a break so he deserved to take a break also I argued with him that I
never took a break but that I was pregnant and struggling while forming
another human being inside of me despite our arguments Deb decided to quit his
job saying that we had enough savings and that now that I was earning money he
could rest for a while he would then spend his entire day video gaming while
I would do household chores look after the baby and work at my job I would
leave James with my parents whenever I went to work since my mother didn't mind
watching him when I would come back home after picking up James from my mother I
would see Dev sitting in the same spot on our sofa playing his video games this
went on for a while and I started to grow tired of picking up all the
responsibilities as a parent so in anger I confronted him about how he needed to
spend time looking for a new job James didn't like that which is why he started
to go to his friend's place every day where they would both play video games
his friend Clinton was a middle-aged divorce whose wife had cheated and left
him this made Clinton resent every woman and he was quite misogynistic this is
also why I didn't like meeting him or going to his place as Dev started to
spend more and more time at his friend's place our arguments would also increase
I was getting tired of being a single parent since Dev literally contributed
to nothing but I held on for the sake of
my children when I gave birth to nah our
second child devb was apparently so busy that he forgot to check my multiple
calls and messages when I went into labor which is why he missed it I never
once suspected him even though these red flags were clearly VIs ible Kylie was
also missing when I called her for help so in the end my parents had to take me
to the emergency room she came the next day to visit me and the baby and told me
how sorry she was for not being there for me since she was stuck at work which
was quite all right with me after nah was born I finally put my foot down and
told Dev that this was his last chance and that if he didn't go back to work
then I was going to pack my things and leave this resulted in a huge fight
between us but I didn't care anymore I knew that as my children's Mother I
needed to be with someone who could be equally responsible because it would be
impossible for me to take care of everything now I told him that I would
never hold anything against him and that he was free to walk away but James told
me that he would start looking for a job the next day this was unexpected of him
to say since I expected him to resist or start arguing with me but surprisingly
he agreed with me or so I thought the next day while my husband was in the
shower and I was taking his dirty clothes for laundry I heard a ping on
his phone I turned my head to see a message on his locked screen from a
familiar number I stopped breathing as my eyes widened in shock I picked up the
phone to click on the message that said when will you be telling her about us I
am pregnant and can't hold off the news any longer I was frozen in place as I
kept rereading the message when my husband got out of the shower he saw me
standing still with his phone in hand he
rushed to snatch his phone from my hands but it was too late I kept the laundry
bin down walked towards my husband and slapped him as hard as I could I didn't
even think twice and it felt like my body was possessed by someone else I was
shaking in anger and my husband was shocked by my reaction as well his eyes
widened in shock as he put two and two together and started stammering about
how this was all just a big misunderstanding I looked him straight
in the eyes and told him that he was dead to me I packed my bags and packed
the kids bags and drove them to my parents my parents were shocked to see
me standing in their doorway with my children and luggages in toe seeing them
I broke down and told them everything I have been crying continuously for the
last 2 days as I just can't believe how my life has ended I have told my boss
everything and she has graciously allowed me to take a few days off
honestly I am at a loss for words which is why I on Reddit my best friend of 20
years decided to betray me by sleeping with my husband of 12 Years not only
this she is now pregnant and this means that Dev and my marriage is pretty much
over Dev and Kylie have been calling me multiple times and sending me messages
saying how I should at least hear them out but I refuse to do so Dev is begging
me to not divorce him saying how I should think about our children Ida if I
went on to divorce my cheating husband and take away everything from him update
one hey guys thank you for your multiple messages and comments on my post I know
it's been a month since I left you all hanging without an update but a lot has
been happening in my life so I been dealing with it I am back at work since
no matter what happen happens in life I can't miss my work for so long honestly
work feels like a welcome distraction to me during this time a lot of you people
suspected right about Dev and Kylie of cheating on me for a long time Kylie
sent me a long message saying how she didn't mean to but she has apparently
fallen in love with Dev and now that she
is going to be a mother she has to think about herself which is why she had been
pushing Dev to tell me while Dev on the other hand knew he would lose access to
an extravagant life if he lost me he knew he had made a mistake and in his
words he just wanted to sleep with Kylie but because she is now pregnant he has
no way out he has been begging me to forgive him and even has gone as far as
to tell me that we can probably convince Kylie to give up her baby and raise the
baby together I mean his delusions and entitlement fuel my anger even more now
as for how they both got together it turns out Dev had been opening up to her
for a while behind my back while he was out playing video games the whole day
about how he is mentally distressed in his marriage with me since I had been
forcing him to get a job he said how Kylie understood him and listened to his
problems and when he opened up about this to Clinton his best friend instead
of telling him how wrong this was started to encourage him to meet up with
Kylie saying how she was clearly more of
a woman than me this is how Kylie and he met up one day just to talk and that
two-faced woman decided to sleep with my
husband I don't know what her motivation was even though she already knew how
shitty of a partner Dev was to me but at this point I honestly don't care Kylie
has also mentioned in her messages how I should be happy that I was taking him
off my hand since I had wanted to leave him but didn't have the courage to do so
maybe this was her plan all along but who knows honestly I glad that she
decided to take my trash and now she can live her whole life regretting ever
meeting a man like Dev I am also sure the day I went into labor they both must
be together which is why both of them had not picked up my calls for help but
this isn't even the cherry on the cake when I first told my parents about Devon
Kylie my mother refused to believe me while my dad called Dev and shouted at
him for a good 15 minutes even when I was crying my mother tried to say how I
could be wrong about this since there was no way that Kylie would betray me
this way I called up Kylie's mother to tell her everything and unlike my mother
she was pissed she didn't even question me and was completely on my side since
she knew I would never make up such a thing she kept repeating how sorry she
was and she cried with me for a while she really understood how betrayed I
felt at the moment after talking with my dad I have decided to file for divorce
we already have a lawyer in mind and with my prup and dev's cheating this
divorce proceeding is going to be easy what might be tricky is when it comes to
the custody of my children but I know that James will never want any
responsibility for them so I am confident I will get full custody but
throughout all this my mother has been vehemently against my decision to
divorce when she realized that no matter how much she requested me to not get a
divorce I wasn't going to listen she seemed to have changed her tactic
suddenly and started saying how I should give up full custody of my children to
death this took me by surprise when she first suggested it but I thought she was
joking at first but when she continued saying this for the last few days I
finally lost my temper today and started shouting at her about how dare she
suggests something like this to me but she didn't say anything and walked out
of the room her behavior has started to make me feel extremely suspicious why
would my own mother ask me to give up custody of my children when she knows
that devb is not a capable parent I feel I need to sit down and confront her in
front of my dad to find out exactly what she has in mind mind update 2 it's only
been a few days since my last update but
my DMs are flooded with people coming up with their own theories I know for some
of you this might seem like an entertaining story but for me this is
the reality of my life my lawyer has served divorce papers to Dev and he
called me crying like a Manchild begging me to forgive him but I just laughed at
his misery and told him to get ready to lose everything James and nah are doing
well despite this family turmoil Dev never spent much time with them so they
hardly notice that he is missing it has been very difficult for me to take care
of a baby while going through all this but I'm glad to have my dad support
Kylie's mother also came to visit me since she lives in another city she
hasn't bothered to even talk or listen to Kylie and has told me how she plans
to cut her off since this is an embarrassing situation not just for my
family but also for her family she says how ashamed she is of her own daughter
she also knows how dead beat of a father dev has been so she knows that
eventually Kylie will be contacting her for financial assistance which she is
vehemently against the news of my divorce due to Kylie's backstabbing has
spread to my friends group as well as my relatives and everyone is on my side
people are not that forgiving so they started sending foul messages to both
Kylie and Dev abusing both of them this is when mallerie finally gave me a call
throughout the last month she didn't have a single ounce of decency to call
me for comfort or to apologize I am sure
she knew about all this and was probably ashamed that her picture perfect son
messed up his great life and knocked up another girl she called to tell me how
devb was suffering so much since everyone in his family had also found
out about his indiscretions and was pissed at him I kept quiet as she
unabashedly continued to say how as a good daughter-in-law I should return
back to him and retract the divorce proced proceedings she tried to justify
her son's vile actions by saying how men can sometimes Stray From the Path but
that it was our responsibility as women to bring them back I couldn't hear her
nonsense any longer so I asked her to shut up she was taken aback by the
sudden rise in my voice since i' had always been good and respectful to her I
told her that she should be ashamed of giving birth to a worthless man like Dev
who was nothing but a leech and that if she ever called me back I would make
sure to take every single penny of his during our divorce by bleeding him dry I
reminded her that I was the one who had taken care of her Manchild our entire
marriage so she had no right to ask me for anything more now that he has
knocked up my best friend mallerie tried to apologize as a last ditch effort to
protect her son but I warned her that I would take legal action against her if
she ever called me again it felt good to finally stand up to her and show her
that I was not the same timid Dill that she had met devb was going to get
exactly what was coming for him and no one will be able to protect him I also
sat down to talk with my parents yesterday to have a talk regarding my
mother's suspicious Behavior I had already given a heads up to my dad about
how she had been forcing me to give up full custody of my children so he was
ready to find the truth from her I straightforwardly asked my mother why
she had been asking me to give Dev full custody of my children even though it
was never going to happen my mother first hesitated but my dad kept grilling
her and finally she opened up to our shock my mother told me how after I had
revealed to my parents about Kylie and my husband sleeping with each other she
had decided to confront Kylie about it since she didn't believe me they met up
and Kylie started begging her for forgiveness my mother couldn't believe
that Kylie had really done something like this but then Kylie started to tell
her how she was pregnant and she needed Dev to raise her child my mother instead
instead of shouting at her apparently felt sorry for her she promised to help
her out financially and tried to convince her to not break up my and
dev's marriage saying how Dev could continue to support her child even if he
was married to me Kylie didn't want that so then my mother changed her tactics
and started telling Kylie that if she was responsible for breaking up our
marriage then she should be responsible for raising the kids as well Kylie was
shocked at first to hear this but my mother told her I suffered from PPD so I
was not a capable mother the least that Kylie could do was raise dev's children
all together as a family since they all would be siblings anyway she told told
her that I was never going to let dev be a part of my children's lives and
according to my mother apparently my children needed a healthy parent like
Dev more than me since according to her I am mentally sick my mother even went
as far as to convince Kylie by saying that if I gave up full custody of my
children then I would be required to pay a hefty child support which Kylie could
used to take care of her child also this convinced Kylie which is why my mother
had changed her tunes and had been forcing me to give up custody of James
and Nah when my dad and I grilled this information out of her we were disgusted
to say the least I couldn't believe that I was facing yet another betrayal in my
life my own mother thought because of my PPD I was incapable enough to raise my
own children and she would rather have Kylie raised them than me it shocked me
that my mother failed to see how I fell into PPD in the first place because devb
refused to help me in any way how I used to beg him to be an equal parent while
he would feain ignorance how I would single-handedly take care of everything
while he would look for an excuse to give up responsibility in any way
started to cry since I didn't know how she could betray me like this after my
husband and best friend did the same thing my dad who had been quiet for a
while asked my mother to simp simply get out of the house my mother started
crying as they kept arguing but my dad told her that their marriage was over he
didn't want to see her face anymore I don't remember much but eventually my
mother left to stay at her sister's place I honestly don't know what to do
it feels like I can't trust anyone anymore everyone seems to betray me like
I mean nothing to them update three it's
been 6 months since my last update and I know it's been a long long time thank
you again seriously your comments your support your messages all of it has been
one giant breath of fresh air just knowing I have a whole online community
willing to go to bat for me has kept me Treading Water these last couple of
months your comments have popped up in my notifications when I felt like just
giving up on my life when it was too hard and has kept me going first things
first I got my divorce last month my dad who has been my backbone this entire
time kept me pushing we went ahead with my divorce proceedings and as expected
James got nothing out of me thanks to my preup agreement when it came time for
the custody of my children he fought hard for full custody at first but when
that was refused he tried to go for equal custody my lawyer argued how he
had been a deadbeat father our entire marriage how he didn't have a proper job
how his mother was an alcoholic and how he had even cheated on me and got
another woman pregnant this argument cost James dearly and I was awarded full
custody of our children while James would pay me monthly child support
checks nothing made me feel more satisfied than watching his face droop
in sadness and defeat I looked back to see mallerie looking at me angrily and I
gave her a smirk just like I had promised I got what I had wished for
secondly coming on to my mother she has begged and begged me and my dad for
forgiveness my dad has firmly refused to let what
she did go so easily and has asked her to go to therapy about her internalized
misogyny so she can understand exactly how wrong she was to have treated me
this way when I was so vulnerable I know
my parents love each other and it breaks my heart to see them apart but I do
understand why my dad wants to talk to a therapist my mother to her credit has
been religiously going to therapy while she continues to stay with her sister I
don't know if it will help her in any way but I hope she does change although
I have blocked Kylie I am still in contact with her mother Kylie's mother
just like she had promised me has cut off all contact with her daughter she
informed me how Kylie has even been removed from her will and they have
added me instead it seems comical to see how karma is slowly but surely catching
up to Kylie I have also heard from the grape vine that Dev doesn't want to
marry Kylie and wants nothing to do with a child just like I had always known
mallerie is furious with Dev since she has already lost two grandchildren James
and nah because of him but he remains adamant in his decisions as for me I am
doing a lot better since my divorce I am focused solely on my children for now
and don't want to keep holding on to the past I won't say that this journey has
been easy but I will say that I don't regret anything that I have done I am
glad I loved Dev and married him because otherwise I would not have these two
beautiful children I am also glad he cheated on me because this was the final
push that I needed to break away from him otherwise I might have been still
stuck in a Loveless marriage I guess everything happens for a reason and I
believe in God's plan always | give me a good story on BFFBrokeMyTrustByGettingPregnantWithMyHusbandWhileheCheated |
